Obligatory

So this is my obligatory monthly post it would seem… Not much new to write about. Some changes at work, I was moved to a different facility. Hours suck, commute sucks, but all’s going well for the most part. I do hope to be back soon, mostly because it’s closer and the hours are better. I’m overcoming the other reasons I didn’t want to be here. Gotta take life one day at a time and make the best of it or you’ll find your life is miserable! My coworker here is good, she’s got a great attitude and is easy to work around.

As for home life, I’ve gotten the new profiles website and discussion board site up and running – still a few tweaks to do there. I havn’t updated my Tee Shirt site in way too long, so that’s on the list ot “to do real soon” I need to build out 3 new servers, most likely gonna use FreeBSD again. One will be to replace the old 166Mhz secondary DNS and Mail sitting on the Speakeasy DSL at home, another will be a new secondary DNS and Mail on the SBC connection, and the 3rd will be backup NS and MX to put at a friends house.

I still want to replace the 2 monitors left in the computer room with flat panels to save space and electricity – just havn’t gotten around to spending the money on them yet. Also need to clean up and move old servers out of there that I don’t use anymore. There are about 6 computer that I don’t or won’t be using once I finish cleaning them out and adding/replacing the 2 servers I mentioned earlier.

I also really want to get a Media Center PC and a NAS (Network Attached Storage) to put all my CDs, Movies, Etc on as well as record TV to watch later, etc. But seeing how slowly I’m attacking these other projects – not to mention the cost (Close to $3k whan all’s said and done) I don’t see that happening soon.

I havn’t been out taking pictures lately – mabe with cooler weather coming I will feel more like taking some on the weekends. My Sony F828 is still “new” but I want another camera already :) It’s really handy and does a great job – but I want a more professional digital – not to mention the fact that I want nothing to do with Sony now after their little rootkit goof. (If you havn’t heard, search google or slashdot for sony rootkit)

Well, enough rambling – I’ve successfully cooled off under the AC now after spending the afternoon cleaning – and now it’s time to go home.

I know I always say I’ll post again soon… but in case I don’t, worse case scenario is you’ll hear from me in about a month!
