Diary of a Network Geek

Today is St. Valentine's Day.

Not all 404 pages are created equal.

DNS has inherent weakness.

Hey, can the folks at 132.3.57.68 , which seems to be an Air Force network operations center, please stop hammering my blog?  Not sure what y'all are looking for or trying to do here, but if you would contact me directly, I'd be happy to help you out.  In the mean time, though, my web host would really appreciate it if you'd stop doing all the aggressive GETs on my site.  It's playing havoc with their servers.
Thanks!

I love energy bars, but, at heart, I'm a cheapskate.

Besides, most of those store-bought energy bars aren't even really all that healthy for you!  I love them for a lot of reasons.  They're quick, easy, portable and can easily be thrown in a bag when I head out on an adventure.  But, like I already mentioned, there are downsides.  The store-bought ones generally aren't cheap, or all that good for you.  So, what to do?
Well, naturally, make your own!

There are more free sysadmin tools for Windows than you can shake a memory stick at these days.

You ever wonder how hackers in the movies type code so fast?

I love science-fiction.

And the word is techno.

Let's start the year slow.
