A little quiet time

September 13th, 2008 Christer Edwards 9 comments

I realize it has been more than a month now since my last post.  That is definitely the longest hiatus I’ve taken from blogging since the start of this site.  Let me give you a heads up regarding recent events.

1) I recently started a new job here in Salt Lake.  I am no longer a traveling Linux instructor.  Although I enjoyed that job very much, I did not want to keep traveling so regularly so I found something close to home.  I’m now a system admin for dozens of Red Hat servers, which allows me to work locally and frequently telecommute.  Working from home with my family sure is nicer than working in a different city every week.

2) I figure I should join the naming meme, although I’m sure I’ve seen this before.  I should mention that I have no creative naming scheme for my machines.  I name them what they are, and since I have such a diversity of hardware that ends up creating unique names.

  • macbook – my laptop
  • 007 – my EeePC (because everything is smaller in the spy world!)
  • sparc – the old Sparc IIe beast I was given
  • iMac – my wifes iMac desktop
  • martian – my OLPC (because its green and has funny anteanna)
  • media – my media server
  • brick – my new work laptop.  Dell laptop cases always look so bulky to me.

See, I told you they were boring names.  I’ll be back to blogging one of these days after I get into the rhythm of the new job.  Until then, keep on keeping on.
