Work
Got the new FreeBSD build server done and
racked up, along with finally getting the new rack partially
assembled and the QA Red
Hat 6.1 and FreeBSD 4.2 test machines in place (and
mostly done). Started working on getting the two new 1U Sun Netra clones loaded and ready for
development and QA work, followed by reloading the two Ultra
10s as build machines. The new "go ahead, blow it up" DNS
machine is just about ready for development to demonstrate
their lack of understanding of basic name service concepts
on, and I should be receiving two new systems for our co-location space on
Monday, which gives me a day to load them and have
development install their stuff before the Oracle consultant
arrives Tuesday to validate the installation on the E420R
that I inherited. Whew. Let's hear it for overtime.

Life
Women are still a mystery, but one in particular
appears to no longer wish me harm; cancelled a trip to Iowa
to try and repair things for the weekend. On the upside, she
passed the first exam in her MCSE track (620 is a pass, she
pulled off 800), so she's now officially an MCP. Let's hear
it for geek girlfriends. :-)
Geek
My new video
card arrived, which I am very much waiting to see if it
lives up to the
hype. For the price (compared to the GeForce2 GTS), it
looks like a helluva card. More memory for my Linux
desktop/mail server at home, so now it's not a complete dog;
need to see if I can track down a cheap K6-II/550 somewhere,
or maybe a K6-III for the windows box (and hand down the
K6-II to the other machine). Hmm. Time to break down and
build a dual Athlon or
some such rather than constantly trying to squeeze life out
of these older machines, methinks.
