I decided that I am going to record my father while I still have the time to do as such. he has been around 85 years so I bet he has some nice stories to tell. I have never really asked him about his parents, nor him family in general. I remember some of the tales he used to tell, but not with any detail. I think it would be great to have a digitized collection about him.

I also am planning to do a “Speaker for the Dead” when it comes time for it. I like the idea behind it to remember and celebrate a persons life and not mourn his passing.

I have taken up the task of basic shell scripting to assist me in the filter of syslogs for useful information. Right now I am digging through Think Unix to learn the very basics. And then I will be off to OReilly’s Classic shell scripting Good stuffs fo’ shure!

OTher than that I have been busy playing Eve:Online. Really getting into it and have been amazed with the depth of the game. I also like how easy it is for a n00b to be competitive with a vet.

Holy crap! No one ever told me about this command before. It is genius! A few quick commands that will make it useful.

^a c for a new screen
^a w for a list of screens
^a a to switch to your previous screen
^a num to switch to a specific screen number
^a d to detach screen (allows you to reattach later as if you never left)

Sorry if I have not been post as much as of late. Some things I have been working on.

Computer related:
1. Migration to a new windows box. (Done)
2. formatting old windows box and installing Slackware 10.2 (done)
3. Configuring NTPD (Done)
4. Configuring syslogging (Done)
5. Configuring RANCID (Done)
6. Reconfiguing all managed network devices to use the new Slackware box. (Done)
7. Reinstall apache, PHP, RRDtool. All just to get cacti up and running. (Done)
8. Learn how to configure cacti. Decent learning curve. (in progress)
9. Looking up open source netflow collection utilities. (in progress)
10. USing a book on shell scripting to learn basic shell manipulation. (in progress)
11. Studying cisco QoS. (in progress)

Non-computer related:
1. Visiting my dad every other day. He walked 20 steps three times yesterday. (In progress)
2. Still finishing up my garage floor. Just been lazy. (In progress)
3. About to finally pay off all my credit card debt. Just waiting on that PFD. (In progress)
4. Reading Lolita, it is one of the best books I have read. (In progress)
5. Read Enders Game. Great book. (Done)
6. Playing Eve:Online for awhile. Great game, very deep, huge learning curve if you want to be good. You do not have to be a “power leveler” to get anywhere in the game. Casual gamers can apply. (In Progress)

Yeah, I have been busy. Look for a new post soon about what SNMP OIDs you should poll for various stats on cisco gear. Helpful stuff that took a bit of digging to find.
