Well, I don’t have much time for a real post. I’m quite busy with school work and prepping for an OpenSolaris demo at RUSLUG on this Tuesday. Also, I’ve pretty much finished my initial evaluation of Hyperic HQ and, after reviewing the features of most of the …

So, I’ve made some headway on the comparison. I have Hyperic installed and partly configured, albeit without email alerts yet. I’ve found some serious features that I need missing, but I’m going to give it a full run before I move on to another.

So, I’ve been plodding along after troubleshooting some VPN issues with my Solaris workstation that I use for Sun work. After that, I started work on the Xen box. Big surprise - none of the PS/2 inputs are working. I knew that the PS/2 riser card was loose …

After dinner tonight, I’m going to start setting up my Xen VMs and installing some monitoring software.

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 …

The other big news in tech today - as posted on slashdot, the author of the pchdtvr/atscap package previously on SourceForge has announced his attempt to retroactively remove his package from GPL coverage. His post states, in part,

One of the biggest pieces of news in the tech world today is the FCC’s auction of the 700MHZ spectrum. I won’t go into background - you can get that from the wonderful TechRepublic article I just read, “Sanity Check: The 700 MHz auction will tip the wireless balance …
