Had a couple of bugs to fix in elfrewrite - it didnt correctly handle ELF binaries which had both .hash/.gnu.hash. Found this out when running on my older Ubuntu system and it caused bad binaries to be generated. I hadnt realised that was even going on with Ubuntu 10.04 and earlier (should have been obvious that -hash-style=both was the default). Also, removed a silly dependency on libelf, so that it runs on more systems. (The elfrewrite is available as part of the crisp install; i may package it up separately, but it serves my purpose to do that). The LM Tech nano usb is a teeny weeny USB wifi adaptor. I have had no end of problems with wired and wifi on my Intel Mac Mini - such a poor and broken piece of Apple tech. Nothing worked to make either reliable - with erratic lack of network connectivity. I am close to dumping this horrible piece of kit, but the LM Tech nano USB wifi seems to be working. Lets test it out for a few weeks. 150Mbps 802.11n - strong signal strength (strange - it reports 90+% signal strength whilst the wireless router reports 23%!). Not hugely fast (because of distance from macmini to router and its hiding behind, rather than in front of the mac - more signal blockage). But, for 12 GBP - its a bargain (vs the 90 GBP for an airport express which has yet to serve the purpose i purchased it for). Meanwhile, need to get back to some more coding updates. (Added a CSV macro to crisp, which now allows column-based searching, e.g. "col select 3==hello" shows all lines where column 3 contains "hello". Need to extend it more to support AND/OR scenarios, but it meets my use-case with room to extend.
