Allergies

Posted by Thomas Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:26:06 +0000

At first I thought it was the cold, but now I’m thinking that I must be allergic to something out here. I wonder what my options are for a sore/scratchy throat…

I think my shredder’s on its last leg. I’ve done a crap-ton of paper, but I don’t recall it ever refusing to work. I’m thinking heat issues.

Fabric Softener

is thinking that I’ve got a fabric softener allergy. Not sure what else would account for this super itchiness on the soles of my feet. Nor would it particularly explain why it’s only started occurring in the last couple of days…

The filer

Posted by Thomas Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:52:39 +0000

is feeling much better after getting a much needed ram swap (it was panicing all the time). And I am contemplating whether or not updating the l7 filtering on my firewall is worth the new kernel + wrecking its 163 day uptime.

Inconceivable

Posted by Thomas Sat, 17 Jan 2009 17:48:23 +0000

is in awe and utter bewilderment at his uncanny ability to literally and always lose a screw when working on the rear passenger tail light. :(

How these screws fall into the 12th dimension I’ll never know. At least this time, some hard rocking revealed its hiding place. Now if only that other screw would turn up, the tail light would be whole again.

Taco Bell

Posted by Thomas Sat, 13 Dec 2008 20:15:38 +0000

I was dumb and when I finally went to eat lunch at like 4pm forgot to take my wallet! Good thing I keep all that change in the console. The lady didn’t bat an eye when I paid her in exact change; $5 worth of quarters.

I’ve spent most of my day packaging up various l7-filter debs. I’ve been meaning to play with qos for forever, and was finally in the mood to fight with it today.

Oh, and distcc has to be the worst packaged thing ever. It absolutely requires you to specify acls (the –allow flag) restricting access, but only allows you to specify to listen on one ip. How’s that supposed to work? Apparently I have to listen on all interfaces, else I restrict myself to only 1 subnet. Like say when my hostname has an AAAA record, distcc pukes. I can’t add my /64 to –allow, so I have to listen on my internal ip. That’s well and good and all, but then what if I want to connect to localhost? Then I’m sol… It makes no sense.

Nexenta 2.0

Posted by Thomas Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:02:52 +0000

is reinstalling his filer yet again. This is like the second time it’s locked up and then decided not to want to boot up after I’ve kicked it. Does not bode well for long term Nexenta stability. Granted I have like zero low level Solaris troubleshooting skills, but I can’t recall the last time it was I had a linux system totally buy the farm. I’ve managed to get myself into some sticky situations, where my linux skills have saved me, but this is ridiculous. Let’s just say I haven’t been impressed with Solaris. Honestly I have no idea why everyone buys their expensive stuff.
