    Save Money With DIY Phone Wiring

    It’s not the prettiest site in the world, but homephonewiring.com has awesome guides for just about anything you might want to do with your home phone service. I went looking for it because my Mom wanted me to wire her up an additional phone jack and the instructions worked perfectly! They also have step-by-step guides [...]

    RHEL useradd Syntax

    Unlike other flavors of UNIX, RHEL does not have a command like adduser which walks you through the process step-by-step, so you have to remember the four flags useradd requires, and in what order it expects to receive them. Since I don’t manually add users unless I’m installing a new server, I don’t run the [...]

    The iPhone is Still Not Quite There

    The iPhone is Still Not Quite There

    I’m begrudged to admit it, but Vasken is right in his claim that his Blackberry is better than the iPhone… For now at least. Having had the chance to play a little with Casey’s iPhone, I must say that the interface is wonderful. It is slick, intuitive and easy to use, but the device itself [...]

    Example LINUX init Script

    From time to time, people want me to create LINUX init scripts for them. I usually just take an existing one for another service and change it up to work for my new application, but most of them have become so long these days that I end up having to hack out a ton of [...]

    Bash For loop Example

    I’m always forgetting the syntax to make “for” loops in Bash. I guess it serves me right for using foreach most of my UNIX life instead. Anyhow, I know I will have to come back here to find it, so I thought I would write put up this quick example with the hope that it [...]

    Registering Solaris CLARiiON Hosts With QLA 2310 HBAs

    Sun Microsystems likes the QLA 2310 Fiber Channel HBA. It’s only a 2Gig card, but it works with the Sun native driver, which makes it wonderful for us Solaris Administrators. Unfortunately, it does not integrate perfectly with EMC CLARiiON SANs because it does not register properly with Navasphere. Even if you manually register the host, [...]

    Brattleboro Selectmen Ban Public Nudity

    In a truly astounding display of cowardice and pandering to conservative whining, the Brattleboro selectmen narrowly approved an “emergency ordinance” banning public nudity on city streets today. Vermont, and Brattleboro in particular have a long history of tolerating nudity in public. The state, along with many of its towns have absolutely no law requiring that [...]

    Blank Window When SSH Forwarding X11 Sessions

    There are a number of applications running on our servers that have GUI’s that I need to display on the Mac in my office. While the traditional method of exporting the server-side display to my desktop works, it is inherently insecure because the entire session, including any passwords that may be sent are all transmitted [...]

    Springfield Vermont Will Host Simpsons Movie Premiere

    I live in Vermont, so of course I was excited yesterday when I learned that Springfield Vermont had won the nation-wide contest to host the premiere of the Simpsons movie. A total of 13 Springfields from around the country entered the contest and made Simpsons-like movies to convince the judges that their respective Springfield would [...]

    Go Alinghi Go!

    Alinghi came from behind for the second day in a row to beat Emirates Team New Zealand yesterday afternoon on the waters off Valencia. The Swiss Defender put in an impressive performance in difficult and unpredictable conditions, but they were rewarded with a 4 to 2 lead in the match, bringing them to within one [...]
