Just a quick post to say that I still exist in one for or another. Work has me busy, as does any number of things at home. Still in the midst of major PC upgrades as well. My workhorse PC is still broken and ignored, in the meantime I am fine tuning a tidy little minimalist PC and using it in place of the busted one. New server is working well aside from occasional DNS service hiccups. Parts have been accumulating for a second server dedicated to file and media storage and backup, and if things work as I hope them to, it will become a mainframe of sorts where I can play around with virtualization and offloading tedious tasks such as video transcoding and other stuffs. It will hide in the basement where it's cool and be remotely accessed from anywhere in and around Casa Greatbear and the Garage of Mayhem. I figure a pair of quad Xeons will go well with the 8.8TB of drives and RAID controllers I've gathered so far.

And I told myself 'no more god boxes'.

Hello, I'm Phil, and I am an incurable geek.
