A very long time has passed since I last posted anything. In that time, I’ve done an ass ton (metric, in imperial that’d be approximately 45/64th’s of one quarter cup liquid ounce of.. inches?) of work, been to Switzerland and back, had my son start elementary school, and various other bits and bobs. Maybe that’s […]
Read MoreI’ve been the owner of an ebook reader (see the previous post) for all of two weeks now. I have used my kindle nearly daily, and it’s a handy thing to have around. So far, I’ve mostly been reading issues of Linux Journal (who moved to a digital format two years (?) back), the scifi […]
Read MoreSo now I’ve gone and done it! I am doing something with my Pi. What I’ve done is, install nginx in a jail on it. Why? Just because I haven’t done that before. I’ll talk a bit more about what I did, and how in this post. Why nginx? Well, the primary reason is that it’s […]
Read MoreThere’s no possible way to make a Raspberry Pi-joke that hasn’t already been made. LSI So far so good. Things’ve been working fine, though I have to look into disabling the bios since I’m not booting from any drives that are behind the LSI card. Boot times are three times as long as without the […]
Read MoreI bought an IBM M1015 raid card. Which is actually an LSI 9240, containing a SAS2008 chip. It is a basic card, with no battery backup. It has two mini-SAS ports, that can be split to 8 SAS/SATA devices (four per port), and then configured to either RAID0 or RAID1. With a feature-key (some little […]
Read MoreNothing specific to talk about, but I felt like writing anyway. Don’t multihome vmk ports in ESXi Multihoming vmk ports on ESXi 5 (?) and later is not kosher. It’ll allow you to make the config, and it’ll even work, for a random period of time. You probably want separate physical ports for management and […]
Read MoreAssembly 2013 came and went. All in all a less-than-average Assembly, but it wasn’t all a waste. Let me talk to you about the Occulus Rift. Occulus Rift is a set of VR goggles, that are in the process of coming to the market (with a consumer release probably happening in 2014), and is now […]
Read MoreGots m’self a new CPU cooler. Not that my i5 is running hot with the stock cooler (between 45 and 55 degreece celsius idle), but it could be cooler. Also, I’m kind of gearing up for Assembly 2013 Summer. That is always an extra strain on the machine since there are like, 3000 other machines […]
Read MoreFirst I want to talk a little bit about airport security. This was the first trip that I was ‘nude-scanned’. The scanner was at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. The device doing the scanning is a ProVision ATD. The type of scanner this is, is a millimeter-wave scanner. Unlike the X-ray backscatter type machines, […]
Read MoreSo about the HTPC… It’s now 2013. Three years since I bought the thing, or so. It’s still running fine. I’ve done some upgrades during the past months, and I’ll discuss them in this article. First of all, the CPU fan had to go. And by go, I mean replaced with a thin form factor, […]
