Well it will be 75 degree’s in NYC today. Don’t think that is hot. Try being in a building where the AC is never just right. Then it gets warm. Lets hope things are working and we are all nice and frosty today. It is beautiful outside. I went out without a jacket again today. I really should not complain about the weather. I am outside maybe 45 minutes a day it seems like now. The problem with not wearing a jacket is that you have no pockets to throw stuff in.
I played with red hat 9.0 this weekend. I installed it on my old windows 2000 server just like I said I would. Before I did that I tried to install BSD 5.0. I had some trouble with the install, and said forget it. I am already trying to learn one OS. I figure I should master that first before going on to something else. I also did a test install of MRTG at home. It installed but I can’t get it to work. I think because my linksys cable router does not support SNMP. I will play with it more at work today, I hope. Now I have 2 linux box’s at home. One to break and try stuff on, and another one where I actually have some stuff running now. This will hopefully prevent me from destroying my movabletype install.
I also spent some time sunday trying to understand some more about Windows 2000 Group Policy Objects (GPO’s). I have used them, and understand the basic concepts, but every time I deploy one I get event log errors all the time. The objects still work, but errors persist. I went online to try and figure out why. All I succeeded in learning is that I have allot to learn. I knew all the basic stuff, but the advanced stuff is hard to find documentation on. This is the story of me and helpful information. The basic stuff is too easy, and the advanced stuff is either too advanced or you cannot find it anywhere.
Today I have to deal with some more telecom vendors. I need to sign some T-1 contracts today. That is going to be fun. More later.
