My life in words and images; a work in progress.

I Just Don't Know...

Systems Adminstrator's Blogs Are Boring.

This one, I'm sure, is no exception. Posts are often written at the end of a long working day; I'm frequently confused, drunk and alone.

Or am I?

FreeBSD on Raspberry PI (take 5)

Personally I think the image looks pretty good. But the PI playing didn't go well.

I couldn't work out how to put the root partition on the external drive. And that's singular, since the mirroring didn't work either; the module version didn't match the kernel. But I managed to stuff /var and /usr onto faster media.

I also need to name these toys. The blue and red ones are azul and rosa. Those I've got on the operating table exposing their guts are daisy and saffron, and the other two I'll call peter and aaron, because I haven't got enough p's or a's.

Greetings from the Burble Bin.

It's not much to look at, but it seems to do the job.

Or does it?

Here lies the archive of my mind.

I began this blog several years ago.

Isolated from social media due to a complex entanglement of real and imaginary threats to my person, my career and my pet cat, I needed a repository for my thoughts. What I'd forgotten is that I rarely have any worth writing down.

In these times of austerity, I'm very lucky to have a rolling contract with XenoPsyche, Inc. It's up for renewal in 2016, and I'm pretty sure they're not happy with my work. I must tell the world what I've learned, and this blog seemed best the way to do that.

Sadly, it's fallen into disuse. Nobody reads it, and I hardly ever update it.

Or do I?

Commercials!
