Older blog entries for cooper (starting at number 2)

discovered today that apparently rocks 3.1.0 doesn't have the wits to firewall itself when you set it up, and i apparently don't have the wits to patch it. hello, first hacked box! i hope you had a good time sshing to beijing!

not much for work today, as the rocks installation has pretty well stalled thanks to this.

discovered that, sadly, in order to get etherboot to work for my cards (nat. semi. 10/100/1000, ns83820), i would have to actually write a driver for the thing. i don't think that's a good thing to do with my time, and yet the alternative - buying a 3rd-party pxe disk - is kind of unappetizing too. see? still, it looks like i'll be settling for that in the short term.

the good news is that i'm specifying plans for a new cluster. please believe this one will be full of pxe goodness. also please believe that intrex will never come near it.

hi world- this is to be my work blog. hopefully i'll be able to move into more open-source-helpful stuff as time goes on here, but for now i've just got a few RPM packages i've built.

RPMs for rawdog 1.8, a simple RSS aggregator i particularly like: http://www.dulug.duke.edu/~cooper/rpms/rawdog-1.8-1.noarch.rpm http://www.dulug.duke.edu/~cooper/rpms/rawdog-1.8-1.src.rpm

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
