The Totally Crazy 1 Month Challenge

As I write this, there are only a few hours left till one of the biggest personal challenges I have undertaken: to go alcohol-free for a whole month.

Not only that, but I’ll be upping the ante with another quest: eating just instant noodles for dinner, to completely break my “always-dine-out” habit currently in full effect.

This may prove extra difficult, in fact, because I’m opting to be even more social. That is, I’ll be going out more with friends, attending more functions and just generally stepping out of my apartment a bit more.

If I can keep up with the challenge, I’ll be celebrating with whoever makes it to Gather’s after-party, 30th of June as the day rolls over to July.

So keep an eye here, on my Twitter and on Facebook for what is sure to be an interesting month!

An update to that RADIUS post

After a lot of research and endless nights watching logs, trying to figure out why some users were successfully disconnected while others weren’t, I have finally managed to understand the concept that FreeRADIUS does not handle counters bigger than 4GB well.

So while the original post had the query in bytes, I suggest using the one below instead, which returns data in kilobytes. And, for the future, you can add an additional /1024 to the query to have it return the values in megabytes.

SELECT IFNULL(SUM(AcctInputOctets + AcctOutputOctets)/1024,0) FROM radacct WHERE username = '%{%k}';

And don’t forget to update your Check Items as well to ensure they are in kilobytes (or megabytes). Otherwise the comparisons won’t work!

PS: Yes, I did just randomly post again. Woohoo!

As it turns out…

It is indeed possible to spend a whole year without updating your blog. ;)
