I still haven’t figured out if this game is really cool or really lame, but I can’t seem to stop playing it! Tweet

Linux Torrents
May 31, 2005 – 9:04 am
Ran across LinuxISOTorrent.com this week. It’s a comprehensive list of torrents for Linux distributions. It’s useful for me because the torrent search sites I use to find Linux torrents keep shutting down (because of legal reasons) or are blocked by our ISP’s filtering software. Tweet
Darth Vader 20 questions
May 26, 2005 – 1:48 pm
Play 20 questions with Darth Vader. I have to admit – it’s a lot of fun. My favorite taunt: “You are not a Jedi, you are not even a Jawa!”. Although when he uses the Force to shake the screen, it’s pretty cool too! Tweet
Network hardware thoughts
May 26, 2005 – 10:54 am
When first having bandwidth problems, I was wondering if purchasing a proxy server (like a Cisco Content Engine) and a bandwidth limiting/packet shaping (al la Packeteer) would be what I would have to do. I was also looking at a $20,000+ price tag for these two boxes, and was going to have to deep-six my [...]
Basic Squid setup with file, domain, and ad blocking
May 26, 2005 – 10:47 am
mkeadle.org has a nice how-to on file, domain, and ad blocking with Squid. I found it extremely useful in setting up my squid box and thought I’d share. I used webmin to set up the ACLs, no no text editing was needed, but the premise is the same. Tweet
Troubleshooting internet usage p2:How I used Ethereal to troubleshoot our network utilization
May 23, 2005 – 10:08 am
Like I said in my earlier post, I used a Fluke OptiView to find the protocols in use and what machines were having “conversations” over those protocols. Unfortunately, my budget won’t allow for the $25K to purchase my own so I started looking for alternatives. I found that Ethereal can do most of what I [...]
Potato peeling
May 16, 2005 – 2:59 pm
If you’re not familiar with the Potato Peeling scene in “The Great Brain at the Academy“, you’ll still find this game a-peeling! Thanks to regular reader Jeremy for the suggestion! Tweet
Take Aim!
May 16, 2005 – 2:49 pm
Two games today that allow you to take aim and jump: Interface Escape and The Bottom of the Sea. So whether in space or underwater, you still have to wear a funny-looking suit to breathe, and you still have to look before you leap. Tweet
Troubleshooting internet usage
May 12, 2005 – 11:18 am
For all three of my regular readers, sorry for the slow updates. I’ve decided to make the site a little less newsy and more about what I’m learning on a day-to day basis. And I’ve been learning quite a bit, because about three weeks ago, our internet usage spiked incredibly – saturating our T1s out [...]
Ant City

Use your giant magnifying glass to look at the people. Be careful! The beam gets hot. Wouldn’t want to burn anyone! Tweet
