Another Late Update

Well... better than nothing, I always say.

Anyway, I finally got out of the call center bit. I got a call from someone I knew who offered me a position that I just couldn't resist. So, my title is no longer CSR, it is now SysAd... !!!

Anyway... I traded in one lifestyle where I had no time, for another where the day doesn't have enough time for things to do... learning, relearning and prelearning as well as applying what I know to what has to be done.

Best part of all? It's an open source shop!

Ahh... all work and no play makes me a dull boy. But if my work is play, then I can't be dull now, can I? =P

I am now working with whats closest to my heart (next to my son anyway)... and work is never work if you're enjoying it. And work now entails my diddling around all the morbid details and innards of all of linux for the servers, and for me, FreeBSD (which I'm recommending for some of the servers anyway).

Sorry PV,, Slackware will always have a place with me... but FreeBSD is where I really go home to. Now, if I can get a spare drive, I can put a second home inside my box for both!

More on the Apache Virus. . .

or, how quickly you can make a fool out of yourself when you start shooting off at the keyboard.

I only heard this story, oh three days ago (March 25), and news wasn't anywhere yet. Hehehe... now, three days later (or is it four? I've forgotten to sleep again), the story of Tuttles City Manager is everywhere. And get this, he's demanding The Register to stop the internet (as if The Register was the only place online that carried this story).

So rembember, there is no such thing as a virus or exploit called Apache(none that I recall anyway)

The Apache Virus!

Some people just can't learn... and some people just dont know how to learn. Check out this story about how an answer can be slapped on someones face so many times, but still won't be picked up. Amusingly enough, it's exactly the same kind of problem I have at work every day. =)

Just an aside, here's the guy who didn't know what apache looked like, and aparrently couldn't even read the text that's displayed on the default screen.

Ok, Now I'm Serious

After so many months, and only one post in between, what's been happening... oh yeah, I almost get laid off, I move houses (again! Third time in one year) buy a PC (no, not the 64 bit AMD I was planning on, nor the laptop), get broadband, and do a lot of other things.

But I'm too tired to get into details right now. My son is taking up most of my down time, and during daytime, I have work and Software Freedom Philippines to worry about. But since I got broadband, I can finally post whenever I want!

Finally!

An update at last! I hate peak season, and the holidays are the worst. Anyway, expect frequent updates from now on. This is just to say:

"Hello World!"
