Long, full day
After a week on the road, there was lots awaiting me in the inbox, voice mail et al. upon return to work. Today was full, if I may make that point. I’m hoping to veg a bit this PM, so we’ll turn our full attention to the gulker.com LAN project.
Which subject has its own […]
Sunday
It’s so good to be back home, especially in time for Unity Sunday (once known as Homecoming Sunday) when all of the congregations (8:00 AM, 9:10, 10:00 and 5:00 PM) at our church meet for a biannual all-in-one sevice.
Our congregation’s children had prepared life-size renditions of the 12 apostles, each one adorned with the […]
Mini computer, maximum frustration
So step 1 on the migrate LAN-to-2-minis project was to upgrade the Intel Core Duo to 2 GB. Apple’s RAM prices were high compared to the market when I bought my original Core Duo, and the local Apple Store wanted an additional $100 to upgrade a Mini while I waited, on top of the […]
Home again
Back from a 5-day business trip to Europe - London, Paris and Munich. Trip went well, we learned a lot (and got a lot done) but I’m looking forward to some decompression time. The weekend stretches ahead with blessedly few constraints - we can get to some ‘important’ stuff, I hope.
The gulker.com LAN project is […]
Blogging at 32,000 feet
So, I’m writing this post at 32,000 feet, aboard a Lufthansa A340, accessing gulker.com’s WordPress blogging server via Boeing’s inflight Connexion Ku-band satellite Internet access service. Just for fun, I snapped a couple of pix of the very nice A340 cabin and the Hotspot sign, and uploaded them via the Connexion satellite link.
This is my […]
Greetings from Paris
This AM finds us in Paris on a whirlwind business trip. During a break I shot the Eiffel Tower from the 33rd floor of the Tour Montparnasse, showing a bit of smog hovering over an otherwise very pleasant morning in Paris. Meetings all day, followed by a flight to Munich…
DNS solved
DNS Enabler worked as advertised on our Intel Mac Mini, so I went back to the G4 Mac Mini, and on the 3rd try, it worked (I suspect user error caused the initial failure… RTFM). So I have to move the Intel Mini onto the wired LAN, figure out if I need to route the […]
The joy of hacking DNS
Last night we bought Cutedge System’s DNS Enabler, and went to work setting up DNS on our 2 Mac Minis, as the first step in migrating all of gulker.com’s LAN services to the Minis. DNS Enabler gives you a way to configure the DNS without having to master the arcane notation of BIND’s config files […]
