I’ve been busy busy busy geeking out in my homelab. Where did we leave off? Oh, yeah, https://opusmagnus.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/fruits-of-insomnia/.

fruits of insomnia
One of the common struggles that goes with being autistic is maintaining a regular sleep schedule. For a lot of us, it just doesn’t happen. Last night was a rough night, in which I did get a lot of sleep, but it was at the wrong time: 6PM to 1:30A…

illumos makes a comeback in the homelab
Up until a couple of years ago, I was becoming increasingly active in the http://illumos.org community. I’d given a talk on the subject at http://triangledevops.com, and indeed my most popular entries on this blog tend to be the ones relating to h…
women in open source: revisited
The other day, I posted some thoughts capturing a conversation that happened in the illumos community over the weekend. If you missed it, head over first to http://opusmagnus.wordpress.com/2014/09/28/the-illumos-number-that-bothers-me-and-what-we-…
the illumos number that bothers me (and what we need to do about it)
I just got back late last night from http://surge.omniti.com/2014 and http://surge.omniti.com/2014/illumos-day, which immediately followed Surge the next day. There were some great talks going on, which I’m sure I’ll also be writing about. But the…
Quick Tip: Netatalk 3.0.1 on Joyent SmartOS
I had to fiddle around with this a bit and thought it might be useful to others. I’m using a http://joyent.com http://smartos.org zone as a file server for my Macs at home, and http://netatalk.sourceforge.net is really the best way to share files …

bonnie++ on on Frankenbox vs. HP Proliant N40L
I’ve got a few OpenIndiana boxes kicking around at the house, and I got to thinking that maybe my rather modern HP Proliant N40L with mirrored Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB disks and 8GB of RAM wasn’t all that speedy.
Radio Silence
Back in March, I accepted a position with Wireless Generation. I’m doing some great things that will help students to reach more of their full potential. I’m very proud of what I do, but I can’t exactly write about it.
Discovering SmartOS
As I’ve alluded to previously, I’ve been exploring Joyent’s target="_blank" lately. I’d like to talk a little bit more about it. It seems to me that a lot of my peers haven’t yet heard about it, or don’t really understand it much at all. The docum…
