Well, some more news. I’ve got some pay coming to me, and I also realized that I have literally a pile of Dell server rack rails, cable management parts, and front bezels/panels (that I got from Rutgers Unversity Surplus) to sell on EBay. So, aside from expenses (like …

More to come sometime this week, when I have enough sanity and time to write.

In the mean time…

So it’s been two weeks since classes started again, and that means two weeks using my now-beloved eeePC 4G Surf (details in a previous post). Granted, I have my “desktop …

I was reading Ben Rockwood’s blog before (as I do every day, thanks to the magic of Google Reader), where he had an article praising up.time network monitoring software. Now, up.time (have I ever mentioned that I *hate* names with punctuation in them?) is proprietary software. And …

Well, the semester is starting to heat up, and I have a bunch of personal stuff I haven’t posted yet. But I’ll get to it this weekend.

In the mean time, I feel the need to comment on an article I read online, in Conde Nast Portfolio. It …

I’ve got a lot to update about in the next few days. I’m back in my apartment for the new semester of school, I’ve got a lot of infrastructure work to do here (most importantly getting net-to-net VPN with DynDNS at both ends working from here to …

So in the past weekend, I had my first real experience with Solaris in production. I finally setup my Sun Blade 150 running Solaris 10 as my new mailserver, replacing a (!!!) vintage 1998 Gateway Pentium II 350MHz desktop.
