Hey :)
For those that find this.. or read it *shrugs*
Been walking along a fine line sometimes, have been given another job, 4 days a week with an awesome team.
Most of the new features I bragged about last post have been sorta implemented to some degree.
Finding problems currently with hardware space, cost & actual time to test / implement.
I am overall concerned with a few issues that I am starting to run into however things are moving.
Geodns, well that is somewhat implemented.. It has been tested, however our testbox was happy though the primary was not.. more to come on that next post.
Virtualbox, no more vmware for me :) virtualbox kicks butt in terms of load / ease of use.. no more clunky webpages for me :)
I have finally a twitter account.. http://twitter.com/andrboot heh. first :) don't use it all that much though.
Might be scraping the idea of getting a rack here in Australia, other things up my sleeve though :) wait and see.
Currently stuff im looking at is mighty expensive, no suprise there but yea.
This year ,2010 is a big year for me, ahbit & others close to me. :/
I have big plans that I hope will achieve the goals I have set.
Amazed at the wreck my life was last year.. :\ though sometimes I worry I haven't moved that far forward, time will tell.

So;
Where have i been.. uhh yea :)
Been head down.. bum up sorta heh busy with some temp work/learning/trying to learn some new stuff.
Backups are now fully automated/functional :) duplicty/gpg keys were the main cause of the problem, however they are fixed
Finally, got an operational Samba,ldap/pdc working :)
New features coming online hopefully soon, ldap auth throughout all our services (new special ones coming :) )
Status site is now finally a status site, and seperate to the main box so if it does go down, you can check what has happened/problems are.
Nagios - Moving it from the current location (i.e. adah.home.ahbit.net) to its new public location :) - secured of course
I have learnt alot coding a nagios setup where i did some temp work, enough to go wow and implement it all over :)
Ksplice - the reason for my awesome uptime :) and security heh... no more rebootin my main boxes yet still doing updates :)
Tape Backup systems - still kinda freaked bout this, still looking for a windows replacemnt, and need to test a linux solution aka amanda when i finally purchase a tape for my 100/200GB tape drive.
Xmarks - kicks ass :) mind you i don't trust em with my bookmarks/data so I have a local webdav setup going working wonders through vpn, soon to be also "public"
New Features :)
Besides ldap?
They are secrets :D
geodns - sooner rather then later, currently in testing
Faster sites/loading times ;)
more.. heh :) just yea :p
Also, upcoming will be a promo when i will do some updating/live stuff :) more to come on that.
Things I am keeping my eye on :
Virtualbox + Virtualbox Web admin - plan to place my current virtualisation software with it :)
So;
where to begin.. :| :(
Been psyched bout Engage i suppose heh till i realised i hadnt changed .. still being an ass in some regards.. always related to the female gender :| yet i "pride" myself on my ethics is amazing how much they dont' exist in some cases.
Remebering everything i have done to ppl not even considering my last relationship snaps me down to nojthing so fast its amazing im still alive with all my blood pumping so hard. angry only @ myself uggh
So;
I know very few people read this.. I guess this is for the person that I am still thinking about alot..
Whom which isn't talking to me or contacting me. heh i deserve it thats for sure.
I have been thinking alot lately, though uni wokr is chewing up my time/clock everyday I seem to remember things, times/days with Hurrem and it still hurts so bad and cuts me deep.
Not because of anything she did to me or anything.. all bad on my end.
So hopefully today I will have the engery to do stuff.. due to me not sleeping last night.. starting to realise that for some stupid reason @ 21 my body can't handle it.. that hurts.
So I guess im just winging and whining..
I miss her lovely big smile, her open arms at the end of a day.. her smile and knowing that she is next to you when you wake up and go to bed.. sure there was bad moments and bad times.. thats normal in relationship.
If you don't talk them out then.. they just build up - something i dind't do often enough.. or not at all
My stupid laptop's screensaver keeps on flicking through the old photo's of us. Every photo I see how happy we were and how much we enjoed ourselves.. then i look at my life now.
Balanced delicately on a bunch of threas to scared/worried that I will rock the boat or fall so i don't do much else.
I thought i was moving ahead in my walk with Christ.. i have somewhat interrupted that/delayed it to the point i am confused again.
Anywho
My brain spew.. or some of it
Andrew
So;
These last few days I have been busy fixing up some scripts,backup systems and getting my life happy and in order :)
Picking up a shiney new server tonight hopefully :) I am so excited i might pee heh.
I confirmed my decision to turn back to Christ Jesus many times these last few days as He has shown me in so many wonderful ways in my life.
Installed/playing with SubSonic at the moment as a replacement for Snackamp/remote stream/viewer works wonderfully. Took a few hours to sync/search everything but its working nicely now :)
Looking at purchasing some more kitchen/useful stuff in the future but its on the to do list.
Working this weekend :( but hey, can't complain considering my lack of work recently and what I am working on
Peace.
Andrew
