Wow, almost a whole year between diary entries, I must be busier than I thought!

 Lots of busy things happening at work - gonna replace the companies only CVS server with a brand new one, gotta get all the accounts moved over and the repository - shouldnt' be too tricky, but I know its gotta go right, or people will be irate

 Still this machine will be easier to update - I've taken advantage of my newfound position of power to convert all our Linux servers, (8), to Debian.

 The hardest thing about setting up a new server, for me, is choosing the name .. just recently I've named one server after my cat, two after Tolkien characters, and one very functionaly

 I forget the number - but I do remember reading an RFC about the naming policy for networks, talking about naming machines as members of a set, eg, naming each one after a dwarf, or a gemstone.

 Its a shame we can't retrofit a decent naming scheme on our internal network .. We've got two schemes running in parallel, which is a joke :(

 Non-work: Got invited to a medieval party in a couple of weeks .. gotta find something to wear - which could be challanging!
