Boredom gets the best of me...twice.

Woke up this morning feeling a bit groggy. I'd stayed up entirely too late last night debating different human interactions with my wife and a friend of ours. People are not like computers. They are not predictable...at least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I stumbled through my morning routine, wandered out to the kitchen to grab my lunch, threw the work laptop under my arm and walked out to the car. Bird poo on the driver's side window...again. Not just any bird poo,...

I used to work for a software/hosting company that half-a$$ed every expenditure they could. They put in a residential cooling unit in one of their datacenters because it was considerably cheaper than the industrial units, they ran all traffic over a single, flat network rather than spend the cash to build proper service/backup networks, they purchased Dell switches instead of Cisco switches, no bonding/teaming on production connections, etc...

During that time, I designed what I...

Hello again, LQ!

Hi.

I've been busy. Very busy.

I managed to find time to boot up my Ultra5 the other day. It complained that the clock was wrong...apparently someone turned the clock forward 118 days. Sigh...in all truth, the sparc was in storage for 115+ days, and since I finally got settled into an apartment in San Antonio, I've had time to set things back up. The Ultra5 now has a friend...an Ultra2 that was given to me by a coworker at Rackspace. He never used it much, and...

RHCE - a bit late, but almost done!

Posted 02-08-2012 at 09:46 AM by rocket357 (Musings on technology, philosophy, and life in the corporate world)

A little while ago (2007?) I joined LQ.org. In one of my first posts I asked a question about the RedHat Certification courses and studying for them. I wanted to get my RHCE, but didn't have the knowledge needed to get it...so I wanted to know if studying CentOS was a good start.

Fast forward 5 years. I'm sitting in a week-long RHCE "boot camp" class. We're supposed to be doing a lab for PAM configuration for the next few minutes, but I'm already done...so I'm blogging...

Still kicking

Just a quick update...I'm still alive. I've been super busy with moving and getting settled in with the new job and city and new schools and all that jazz. It's been hectic. Rackspace is soooo worth the "life upheaval". (Google "rackspace castle" to get an idea of where I work. I love this place haha.)

I'll post more techie stuff when I get some time...
