Success! Mondo Rescue has been able to back up my 7.2 test box to my main workstation over NFS. I have then burned the backup to a DVD-RW using k3b (great app by the way), and "restored" my 7.2 box. Things are going to work peachy for this system and Legacy testing. Now to look at Seth Vidal's mc legacy packages for RHL 7.2
So had a busy day at work. Was working on some "mini-pc" thingies from utol I think. They're about 2" high and 4" long, really small things. They have a integrated modem on them, and our customer needs this to work as he's using these things in gas-station kiosks. Unfortunately he also uses Windows on them. Sure enough, right click on the modem and choose diagnostics to query the modem, and boom, the damn box restarts. Yet more fun to deal with.
Anywho, doing Legacy work tonight. Creating mondo images of my test box for RH 7.[23], and 8.0. Maybe I'll get some QA stuff done.
hrm.. yum-arch runs really fast on my 10Krpm SATA drive...
oh yeah, this post is coming from gnome-blog, a nifty little taskbar icon that lets you type up your blog throughout the day and post it when you're ready. Gnome Blog
Ok, so this is my first entry. wohoo!
Seriously, I hope to document more of what I do on a daily or weekly basis.
I've been extremely busy with ramping up for the Fedora Legacy project, writing my chapter for the Fedora Troubleshooting Bible, and with a couple contracting projects I'm working on. Courier-MTA is once again paying for new hardware (; A local company here has contracted me to design a Linux based mail gateway for their company. All it will do is accept email from a couple internal servers, and send them out to the real web, as well as except all email for their domain and forward it off to internal mail servers. It's a pretty easy setup. Hopefully I'll be done with that by early next week. I've got another project coming up where a company wants to send me a Linux harddrive so that I can recover the website held within. Seems their company doesn't have any Linux knowledge, and the people who originally set up this box are long gone. Simple project, unless the disk suffers problems in transit.
Anywho, guess I should get back to work now that I've set this thing up. I new return you to your regularly scheduled spam.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
