A day late, but not too late.

Tuesday, October 7th, 2003

We think today is the day. Our little girl woke us up at 5:30 AM with lots and lots of contractions. See you all in a few days I suspect.

starting over

Sunday, October 5th, 2003

Accidently erased this websites index file during my transition to wordpress from b2. So we are starting over again. I was wanting to touch up the design anyway. I know parts aren’t working but we will get there.

late night battles

Wednesday, October 1st, 2003

So here I am migrating two servers so I can start tcp-banging some alteon switches to see if I can reproduce some crashes i’ve had on live systems. I suspect that I just need to get a support contract to get the most recent WebOS for those switches but hey, i’ll do my best to spare the company 1 grand.

I’ve been alerted to several OpenSSL vulnerabilities that mean i’ll have to yet-again patch most of the computers at work (last time from the twice-released OpenSSH vulnerabilities).

And then I’ve got Freeradius that is crashing and burning on FreeBSD. Best I can tell the software runs out of threads and then stops authenticating. It’s being impossible to trouble shoot because in debug mode (yes, with threads enabled) the server behaves very well. The answer can’t be to use Linux, can it?
