This is a good (though NSFW) video of Jason Scott's talk, The Atomic Level of Porn.

Jason Scott, if you don't know is the guy who runs http://textfiles.com, and did the awesome BBS documentary.

This is pretty awful and a lawyer's wet dream. Invasion of privacy is just the beginning and it's going to get worse. A decent lawyer could probably even get a child pornography ball rolling on this.

I'll be migrating everything over to a new server at Server Beach, since they had a special where I could migrate to a new faster machine for half of what I am paying now. So for a hundred bucks a month, new server is a quad core, same memory, and unfortunately only a single drive, but a larger drive so it shouldn't be an issue.

I just have to install Gentoo, and then I'll work on migrating things over.

I upgrade Roundcubemail to the latest version. I also enabled plugins to forward messages as an attachment, and keyboard shortcuts.

Since I'm enabling plugins, if there are any that you think you might find useful, let me know.

The plugin list is here: http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Plugin_Repository

Ok.. new topic. Loopback addresses. Seeing that we have a network inspection coming up, there's a number of CAT II and CAT III findings regarding having snmp/syslog/snmp/etc coming from loopback addresses. We aren't using loopbaks now, we do single in/out routes, statically with only one AS at one site and the rest are static routes back to the provider so it's not like source/destination ips change for management. We have lots of extra /24's that I can use to figure out a scheme to address the devices, but I'm more curious as to how the routing should be done. We aren't doing any out-of-band or tunneling the inband over and site-2-site, but that could be setup also. So.. does anyone use loopbacks for management? Do you use 10.xxx.yyy.zzz addresses with site2site tunnels or routable /32 addresses with lots of static route maps?

The system is working now, but as we come up to speed with the new inspection requirements, well, I'm left to make it work. It's not hard, it's just I don't really know what the best practices are and there doesn't seem to be a good source of general "here's the best way to do it" type things, besides Cisco's sucky white papers. A lot of the material seemed to be designed to talk about multi-peered routers or those with direct connections of a sort.

Anyways.. any edumication is a good thing.. so thanks in advance!

The end is nigh! Yep, looks like the feds are going to withdraw the license application (unknown when yet, but my guess is March), and the project is going to be shut down. No funding for fiscal year 2011. Goodbye so long. No idea how long they're projecting it'll take to shut things down or what the plan is, but I'm not going to waste time on the job search.

This is pretty telling here:

Feds withdraw applications for water for Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump

So that means I've been looking for networking engineering jobs... of course a search for "network" and "las vegas" on dice are pretty abysmal. Hoping I find something locally, since I have the mortgage on the house, and quite a bit of debt, including a truck payment. Though I'm not limiting my search to local jobs, so we'll see what happens. Wouldn't mind the Bay Area, Seattle, Portland, or Denver areas. Send me a ping if you know of anyone looking for network guys strong in Cisco and Linux/Unix.

This was interesting, in a "well we're fucked" sort of sense:

So I picked up some new Guitar Hero World Tour drums yesterday since my other set died a few months back. I knew there was a Midi port in the back of them, but heard that there were problems getting them to work properly with electronic drums. Guess I was wrong! After looking online I found getting them to work with my Roland V Tour TD 9S is really simple. Yay! Heading to the music store now to grab a cable. I'm thinking it will be harder to play songs on the Roland, but we'll see
