Wish I had taken before and after pics, because I’m quite proud. After we got back from the (very fun btw, thanks Jason!) LAN party yesterday I figured that since we were having my folks over for dinner tonight, and we had 2 less computers and monitors in the office anyway, why not do the

One of the things I was petrefied of with the old UFies server was rebooting. The long delay as the scsi started up, various BIOS screens popped up and asked for attention, what if the updates I’d done over the last 2 years since the last time the box was rebooted had some unintended effect

Fun happy time I’m invited to a LAN tomorrow. Man, it’s been ages since I’ve been able to go to one, and I’m really looking forward to it. Course, I have no idea if the q3/cod/etc installs actually work anymore, or heck, if I still even have them installed… probably a good thing to check

Holy crap this looks cool. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a huge Battlestar Galactica fan…. hell, my conversations start with “Do you watch Battlestar Galactica?”. Anyway, going through a list of upcoming games and saw Battlestar Galactica: Beyond the Red Line. Basically a BSG game. Nothing much in the website yet, but the forums

Along with such stand-bys as requiring the goat at midnight GMT not PST when debugging SCSI issues, another one must state: If you lay off all your linux experts you will have to hire them back as a contractor at double their previous salary to have them help you fix the issues they were dealing

The upgrade went well yesterday, in fact, about as close to flawless as you can get. Other than poor fred having to ride in the back of my little sports car (with the huge server box on the passenger seat), things went well. We got there around 11am and then basically set up both boxes
