Posted on by jlim0930

This was emailed to me…. good read **How you know you’re ready to have a child:* * *Mess Test:* Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer. *Toy Test:* Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are not available, you maysubstitute roofing tacks) Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream. (This could wake a child at night.) *Grocery Store Test:* Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best)… Continue Reading →

Curtains and Curtains and more Curtains

Posted on by jlim0930

I have found that looking for curtains is a very hard job.  There are many choices but 99% of the selections out there are very ugly.  Hanging the curtains on the other hand is very simple as long as you can level it correctly which I can not do.  We went to various local stores and mixed and matched few sets and so far I think that these are looking good. So we decided to put up curtains for our son’s room with some bright colors so after much looking we found a very colorful set and installed it..  bought… Continue Reading →

NFS share XP to Solaris

Posted on by jlim0930

I had a hell of time trying to share files and folders from XP to Solaris.  Solaris does not play well with samba mounts so your only choice is to use sharity which does not work well.  Also since XP did not support NFS natively this was hard to do until SFU!  Now what is SFU ? Services for Unix for Windows XP/2000/2003/etc  It installs various services that you can use from your windows like NFS!  BACKGROUND INFORMATION : My web server runs as user webservd:webservd and I am wanting to share 2 directories from my windows server and have… Continue Reading →

The original computer mouse

Posted on by jlim0930

This “X-Y position indicator for a display system” is better known as the world’s first computer mouse invented by Douglas Engelbart. With a shell built from wood, two wheels tracked the movements of the device. It’s too bad the patent expired in 1987 before the real money came rolling in. Other interesting factoid: Engelbart’s team nicknamed the device a “mouse” and the on-screen cursor a “bug.” One term took off while the other died a gruesome, lonely death. Hit the jump for a bonus pic.

wordpress

Posted on by jlim0930

So finally I took the time to change the blogging software from Nucleus CMS to wordpress. Inital thoughts is that wordpress is more polished than nucleus. both has a lot of plugins and skin support but Nucleus seem to have a lot of loose ends thats not tied down very well. The only problem I am having with wordpress is that I am not able to upload any files… any hints ?

tcpdump to see what you are getting from the switch

Posted on by jlim0930

This is a nice tcpdump command line to see what you are getting from the switch as far as duplex and speed tcpdump -nn -vvv -s 1500 -c 1 -i eth0 ‘ether[20:2] == 0x2000’ For linux the output should look like tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 1500 bytes 08:13:11.630525 snap 0:0:c:20:0 CDP v2, ttl: 180s, checksum: 692 (unverified) Device-ID (0x01), length: 9 bytes: ‘SWITCH1’ Version String (0x05), length: 190 bytes: Cisco IOS Software, CBS30X0 Software (CBS30X0-LANBASE-M), Version 12.2(25)SEF1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3) Copyright (c) 1986-2006 by Cisco Systems, Inc.
