We celebrated our usual Thanksgiving by running the Portland Turkey Trot . That's starts out the day with some of the turkey dinner pre-burned. Then a trip to my mother's for the traditional feast with you brothers and their families.
Happy Holidays!!

Hope everyone had a scary Halloween. Now, despite all the decorations in the stores, I'm thinking about a large dinner with the family. I love this season.

This is the time of year when the sun is rising as I got to work and it's the time of year when storms are passing through and beautiful clouds billow in the sky. Well, the other morning, there was a incredible sunrise. This was a get-out-of-the-car-and-take-a-picture type incredible sunrise. Enjoy all the pictures.
I'm still finding my way around WordPress. I think I have all my content and comments moved over from Moveable Type. I origionally decided to move because I kept getting PILES of comment spam and they didn't have the tools I needed and, since I'm not a PERL wizard, I needed something I could hack on. PHP is more my cup of tea.
Anyway, I finally installed comment moderation plugin and cleaned out the latest round of online poker playing spam. Sigh.
Now I'm on a program of finding security tools to manage my Linux system. So how can I be sure my system hasn't been rooted? Even though I have a firewall and I don't read mail on the server machine, there are many bad things out there and many scary stories. The Internet used to be so easy.
Boy, go away for the weekend and power supplies start dropping like flies. I've replaced the power supply in the server and things are back up again. Well, I haven't actually replaced the power supply yet. I have two computers downstairs that look like two cars beside the road with one giving a jump to the other -- two chassis are side by side with the power supply from one running into the other chassis. I have a trip to Frys planned to get a new supply (and probably a UPS to prevent these power glitch problems).
Sorry for having gone AWOL.
