My computers

Everyone wants to know what kinds of crazy hardware a computer geek has kicking around his house. If you are actually reading this post, I know your curiosity will drive you to find out. Here is what this geek uses at home.

Ferret Man

I was reading a blog post from Caitlyn Martin about CentOS on her Netbook and noticed on her sidebar that she is also a ferret person. Of course I had to read about her ferrets too. You’d understand if you were a ferret person 🙂 Anyhow, after reading about her ferrets I felt compelled and […]

Donations

A few people have asked about a way to make a donation to help with the costs here on any of the lincgeek.org sites (tllts.org, linuxforchristians.org, linuxplanet.org, freelinuxbox.org, etc). Since it’s time to re-up for another years worth of bandwidth and *I’m broke* I figured it’d be as good a time as any to put […]

Sys_Basher

Late last ‘week I noticed that my new nagios server was not responding anymore. Well, I checked it and it was down. Not only that, it was a vm on my test server and the entire server was down as well. Arrrgh. Usually I use this as a foray to tell you all to remember […]

Call for Slackers

I had a little trouble on the last TechShow with my audio. You see, I use a CyberAudio USB headset on the show, and I recently upgraded my Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 9.04 and pulse audio makes a nice hum the entire time now with my headset. Obviously this irritates me and I decided to […]

More servers available

A little while back I picked up a couple Appro servers from geeks.com for an outstanding price and also managed to convince Dann to do the same (after making a public plea on TLLTS to raise the moolah). Shortly thereafter, the deal was a bust and there were no more of those servers available. Well, […]
