I got my scanner working today by using the experimental genesys backend for SANE. Now I just need a good system for storing stuff I scan together with some metadata so I can find it again later.

Web-based would be good, but not PHP and not MySQL (though I could fix the latter of those if the system as such is good). I've skimmed through what's on freshmeat, but didn't find anything which seemed to work well enough, so I guess I might end up writing my own..

If anybody has any suggestions, please drop me a mail.

• 10.0.0.0/24 is something very different from 10.0.0.0/8 and it appears Linux doesn't really like to masquerade itself, as it then sends RST to the originating host. Of course, ssh doesn't care about getting an RST and just hangs.

• OpenWRT is quite neat, and my wlan is now separated from the wired network, which means we can run services such as cups on the wired network without having to require authentication. It would be cool to play around with VLAN tagging, but I think that's for another day.

• I need to investigate how to get the internal DNS working properly; I kinda want to have sensible reverse-DNS for 10.x.x.x addresses.

• The whole infrastructure which goes on top of the physical and first layer of the network is still missing (Kerberos, LDAP, cups, openvpn, nocatauth or similar).
