People were sad and over all not having good days because of too much trust in the black box. ... Sure we were using raid5, but the data itself was not n+1 in that particular environment, and for that reason bad things were bound to happen.

So since I upgraded my cms I now no longer have my yummy green theme but a generic one with leaves. Leaves! It looks like I'll have to backport my green theme. I spent a bit of time on it before so it's probably worth keeping.

This isn't tech related at all but I thought I'd blog about it because I'm so annoyed... Merchant Name: TRILEGIANT CORP Merchant Type: OFFICE SUPP EQUIP Doing Business As: FAMILY FUN SAVER For some reason I haven't caught this for months. My bad, I should have caught it. In any case, these bastards have been charging my credit card for about $12 each month. I haven't received any office supplies from them, and certainly no family fun. I suspect this was done when getting a vacation done through Orbitz (who has simply awful customer service btw).

So it turns out, this was all due to this bug: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_42_11695.shtm What I'm not impressed about are a few things: * It took HP 3 months, and a lot of harassing to get them to tell us this. Previous, they sent a tech out to replace about every damn piece of the server except maybe the screws. Their techs are absolute morons. They have no concept of troubleshooting or the scientific method.

This is part rant, part message in a bottle. So my current place of work has standardized on the HP platform, specially, using HP DL360 G5's for both web and database platforms to great success! Until recently...

So now that no one comes here all the time, or ever here's the scoop! Section6 started out a long time ago, before I was married, before I had a career as experiments in open source. More specifically, experiments in ipv6! It seems that ipv6 has been a very long time coming. I don't write tutorials much anymore, I don't even have time! So what is section6 going to be now?

So I think I have a condition that could be known as Microsoft Tourettes Syndrome. It occured to me while trying to open a docx document. For those of you who don't know. docx is that new MS XML format that's been getting so much press lately but that pretty much no one uses yet.

Plagarism at Section6?! Yep there's been quite a few articles posted on my site that were complete ripoffs of others (with and without credit). Though I didn't post them myself, I do take responsibility as this is my site. If you do see any articles that are more or less blatent ripoffs of others' please bring them to my attention by commenting on this post.

Last week I threw up a quick howto for SNMP. I spent the better part of this week at work figuring out how iLO2 works with HP's servers. In any case, iLO does most of it's alerting with snmp so I was tasked with getting an snmp trap handling system working. Before long I was thinking "I'm sure someone else is going to have to do this". I also found that the snmptt documentation was a little too thorough and not very good at helping the user set it up quickly, so I basically made my own. I'm sure someone else should find it helpful.

I finally decided it was time for a change at Section6. No more space bog theme. Now everything has gone green! I hoping for a more fresh look this way, obviously things are lining up a bit better too. Also I took the forums down because frankly, no one really uses them. I plan on bringing at least anonymous comments back but using captcha, but I'll have to wait for it to be released for this cms. There hasn't been much content here in a while, but I have few more things I want to add. Namely, using postfix with ldap exclusively instead of a passwd file.
