Well, only had to go down to the colo twice for this migration... =) Phoned the wife to check on it, reported all connections were good, so happily put stuff back, cleaned up the closet, etc. only to find when I got back home that I couldn't connect anymore. I think …

This is a sweet little machine... 1U opteron 146 (2GHz). Only comes with 512MB stock, but I'm putting 2GB of RAM in it, and two 300GB SATA II drives (acting as a RAID1 mirror). Comes with two gigabit ethernet cards (forcedeth and tg3) and uses sata_nv.

I found my new license with which I will license everything:

The DWTFYWWI license is my kind of license.

Was just reading this article on linux.com about some guy's sysadmin toolbox. Yeah, the tools were ok and nothing much different from what I use except for some of the desktop-ish stuff he uses. What got me though was the first comment that was made. Vim has text folding …

Funny the timing of these things. When I got my ANNVIX license plate it was within a day (if I remember correctly) of 1.1-RELEASE going out. Looks like it's the same this time. Picked up the Annvix-mobile this afternoon after about 2.5 months of being in the shop …

Well, having a RAID1 setup on this server has saved my a$$ in a huge way. Yesterday I started getting notifications of a smart failure on one of the drives (I have two configured as a RAID1 across a few partitions). So I went down to the colo to swap …

Well, I've been playing WoW for a while now... since the summer of last year. I finally managed to get my druid up to level 40. Yeah, you young guys with nothing but homework are laughing at me now since it's taken me so long to hit, but whatever... considering …

You know, almost every single article that I've ever bothered to read on OSNews has been pure crap, to put it politely, and I wonder why these idiots haven't gotten a clue yet. Their latest piece of editorial or user-submitted idiocy is entitled UNIX Security - Don't Believe the Truth where …
