blovett: i c... why did your boss hate on openbsd?
LSI bough 3ware? :/
now where will i buy good controllers :/
yup
scary
all my boxes have 3wares
guess i'll be back to buying second hand from eBay :)
all mine are 3ware too
they still sell all the 3ware cards, so i'm not worried yet
crap... i mangled my /etc/rc.conf file
I'm trying to get a VNC in, but it doesn't seem to be working
nevermind... was using wrong machine
apparently, I need to specify a broadcast address differently
cool - I figured out how to config my /28 and my ipv6
cool... my v6 seems to be connected
got it set up on both my box and neil's box
up_the_irons, he's a linux guy.. and he didn't like the default shell. no good reasons, but it became a moot point when they were replaced.
up_the_irons, but otherwise openbgpd worked great. the only issues I had were hardware related.. that and one of my upstreams would always blame "that opensource crap" when I had issues with our circuit.
that issue was finally tracked down to a faulty card on one of the switches between us and them.
blovett: ah, roger that
roger that..
you in the military?
we say that in the coast guard a lot
it sounds better than "aye aye"
phlux: not in the military, but i talk on GMRS radios a lot, and we always say "roger"
ah, ok
phlux: you in the cost guard?
*coast
I am. I'm stationed in Houston.
ah cool
how do you like it in Houston?
It's alright. I'm from Alabama, so the big city stuff is kind of scary
but I live in a pretty nice part of town, so I think I'm good to go
nice
We had a LT get held up right across the street from the base at a gas station, so I tried to live far away from the base :P
wow
but the location is excellent for my job. I'm an MST (Marine Science Technician). I respond to oil spills/HAZMAT or Chemical releases
stuff is always spilling in the Houston ship channel
I'm looking at a medical discharge though.. I had back surgery, and it went south.
sounds like an interesting job; too bad about your back though
yeah, I'm hoping I can get 100% by the end of the year. that's my only chance.
it won't all be a loss though, I'll still have my GI Bill to pay for college
and medical coverage for my wife and myself
ah, well that's cool
you keep medical coverage even if you are discharged?
yeah, since I was injured on duty
ah, interesting
and it's pretty much the CG's fault
turns out I'm flat-footed
I shouldn't have been able to join
They're also considering a 65% retirement
so I'd keep my ID and collect 65% E-4 pay
is flat-footed'ness a DQ b/c you can't run?
yep
65% sounds nice :)
but if you get past MEPS, they can't kick you out
i c
interesting
but the reason I herniated a disc was because of all the running on my flat feet
