You’ve Got Male

So this Republican walks into a bar ….
- Tomorrow night I will have my new server hardware, consisting of a dual Pentium II 400 mhz motherboard with onboard SCSI and a real nice tower case on wheels. Due to cost, I’m ditching the SCSI in favor of ATA RAID, which will be provided by a Promise TX-2000 controller and two 80 GB drives, mirrored.
- The old system is a Pentium III at 500 mhz and one 20 GB drive, and will be the new router and firewall. I’ll be using ipfilter, of course, as well as fancy software like Snort and whatever else I find out there which allows me to monitor the network.
- I’m also going to add wireless to the mix, which allows friends with laptops to easily get on my network. Of course, it’ll do the same for me once I get a portable computer.
- I really need to start getting my personal web site in order.
- Yesterday was a good day at work because I felt like I got a lot done. The packaging project is supposed to be finished soon, but it seems as if we’re going to work past the deadline since a bunch of wankers in the company haven’t been doing their jobs and sending us the software we need. Always someone else’s fault!
- I feel real good about the wholesome meal I cooked Sunday night for me and my roommate. I usually make anything quick and crappy for myself, but when I am cooking for someone else I actually enjoy doing it. We had marinated chicken breast with green beans and mashed potatoes: typical Indiana food. I think the next meal will have to be that jambalaya I made last year, but the challenge is finding andouille sausage here in Indianapolis.
