I repurposed some old hardware to help my systems run a bit better. I had been running pfSense on a single network interface, and I’m currently in the process of replacing a failing hard drive in another machine. I should be able to regain stability soon. However, it looks like I may need to find new hardware, as things seem to be degrading faster than I can fix them.
Made it to Miami without any major issues despite the shutdown. Stayed at the Pullman. Not a bad motel but not memorable either. Boarding the boat was uneventful. So far I’m pretty happy with Virgin Cruise line. More to follow in the coming days….
The boys are going stir crazy. Five minutes outside and even my heat seeking bulldog was fading fast. I am trying to adapt to their schedule. They insist…
Spending the week in the Seattle area. We drove out to Port Angeles today, and things have changed quite a bit. It doesn’t look anything like it did forty years ago when I lived there—feels kind of run down now.
One highlight was a quick visit to the Game Farm. My rental car now has drool running down the passenger-side door. The murder cows (buffalo) were a bit unnerving as they towered over the car.
I didn’t get too many pictures because, as they warn up front, you’ve got to keep moving—they’ll sometimes abuse a stationary vehicle.
Well, I had almost finished setting up a new server when I made the fateful decision to add one more application (Time-shift) to protect a couple of weeks’ worth of configuration efforts. Unfortunately, it completely destroyed my file system.
I did have backups, but they were a bit outdated. Long story short, I’m back up and running. I lost some data, but I’ve been piecing things back together. Hopefully, I’ll get the remaining bugs and glitches sorted out soon.
Walking the Railroad Trail to Hoover Dam is a walk we’ve done many times. It’s an easy hike, except for the last mile where the trail drops a couple of hundred feet to the dam. The round trip is eight miles in total. Today, I took James along, and he did quite well, especially for someone who doesn’t usually get much exercise.
Just because…
I look stoned….
What you got there….
Everything is upsidedown for some reason….
I would rather be at the beach
When starting to learn a new programming language often your first program is a “Hello World” program. This is my first post on my freshly set up Web Server. I’ll be writing about the process of setting things up eventually. For now I will be focusing on discovering how all of this works
Stay Tuned…
