It is far too long between useful posts here. Well, posts at all really. I am going to try getting things moving once more on the front lines of getting my projects done.

Things in the pending queue one can expect data on:

• The ipv6 modules case latency on my desktop… wtf!
• Media system build ~ 1.6 GHz laptop hardware in a non-laptop configuration
• Site rewrite for my family geared site
• Firewall build (yes another one, some one stole my last bit-barrier build)

Now lets see if I can get these done and put up some real data on them….

I have recently lost both bit-barrier (my firewall) and photon (my server) along with a lot of other gear. While traveling for work some one pried my front door open with a crowbar and took it all. Also in the list of items taken is my 19 inch LCD, WRT-54G v2.2, cable modem, keyboard and mouse and Nintendo DS. Of all the things I think I will miss the keyboard the most as it was my first personal keyboard and is no longer made. It served me well for 10 years.

Thanks to the good graces of some I am able to get online and IRC as semi-normal (thanks BP{k}) and I have a temporary 1u server in the works. Things are a bit limited as I don’t have what I have grown used to. My development web server and torrent daemons is gone among other things.

Replacement hardware is half acquired and half ordered to replace the server. The last part (the chassis) will be here on the 23rd of this month. I also need to replace my firewall which will be done with gear I had lying around from other projects. This will transpire tonight. I will put something up for each of these as they progress.

Well I got a bit motivated and finally wrote the code to run the files section of the site. As usual it is nothing massive or complex and uses a simple concept. Not much up there now but I hope to get more on there soon.

As usual enjoy!

I have been under the pile of to-dos lately but I am working on getting things moving again. Primary task as of late was the addition of a new server. I got an IBM xSeries 330 from ebay for 47$ after shipping. This machine replaced photon which was an aging and bad cap latent AMD Athlon 2200 system.

The new IBM (well new to me) is a dual pIII system @ 1.4 GHz with 1.5 gigs of ram. It was sold as only having a single 18.2 GB SCSI HD but arrived with a pair of them which are now using Linux software raid1. It is now up and running well after replacing the CMOS battery. Current uptime is 33 days, 11 hours and 52 minutes without a hitch.

More details to include some Slackware installation notes and pics to follow soon.
