Welcome to JUGA.org

Welcome to JUGA.org - the homeplace of Radix, gamer, wifi-adventurer, gadget king and hacker.

Website Design/Consulting 

I've been doing website design and consulting for friends and family for a while now, but figured I may as well spin it off as a sideline after-hours to see how it goes.  To that end I've set up www.JUGA.biz - the business end of JUGA Enterprises. 

Hardware Hacking

Over the course of a few years, I've hacked many devices - two most recent ones being the i-Opener and the Viewpoint TC box.

If you're after details on how to hack the Boundless Technologies Viewpoint TC and turn it into a linux box, click here.

Wireless Endeavours

I'm an active member of the WaFreenet - and have been since March 2002.  We regularly discuss stuff on e3.com.au and I hang out in the #perthwireless channel on irc.perthwireless.net occasionally too.

I'm also the IP Czar for the wafreenet, so if you plan to run an AP - I'll be the one handing out ip addresses for your access point.  You can see the current IP allocations on the register.wafreenet.org website which I also run.

Gadgets

Man I love gadgets - and I seem to accumulate a lot of them.  Whether it be digital cameras, pda's, gaming devices (The Claw or other devices to help with keystrokes), overclocking bits like fan controllers, hacked Xboxes turned into multi-media machines, radio controlled buggies or whatever. I think it's cool.

New! Apparently this is a medical condition and I am more than likely a Neophiliac!  How cool is that! :) 

My latest gadget is a Sony PSP!

Gaming

I'm a regular gamer.  You'd probably know that if you have heard of my old Counter-Strike clan DoA (Dead On Arrival) - we're retired from competition now after dominating the local scene for several years - but most of us still play online a lot.  I don't play much in the way of Counter-Strike anymore, but I do still play a little Battlefield2 and Team Fortress 2 from time to time..

Linux

Yes, I love Linux - I've been using it since early 1993 - back in the days when I owned a 386dx40 with a whopping great 4MB of ram and had to get my mate to compile the kernel for me (0.98.x at the time I seem to recall ;) - ever since then I've run all of my servers on Linux (no, I don't run the desktop/gaming machines on Linux as well yet, but I've usually got a dual boot machine with both).

I've gone through a number of distributions over the years - I started out with Slackware 1.1 or something I think it was - back when it was still distributed on floppies.  I've since used a variety of Redhat versions (v5.2 - v8.0), and Mandrake  (v7.0 - v9.0).  I was then introduced to Knoppix Debian and found this installed great on my machines as I hated the installer for the old debian (used to always have issues with my netjet isdn link back then and had no way of getting net access without it!)

These days, I use debian stable (etch) or Ubuntu - I absolutely love apt-get - and find this serves all my needs.
