It was quite hot today. During lunch, we went down to the beach.
Alki Beach (Seattle, WA)
Does anyone know what these things are called? They were sticking up out of the sand all over. The (3) pictures are pretty bad, they looked like long worms or worm-like plants, or something.

We are (finally) getting around to cleaning up the datacenter in my office. There was so much crap piled on the floor you could not walk to the other end of the room.

One of the huge annoyances at work is every internal system having it’s own user database, apache webservers being no exception. In light of this I figured out how to get apache to authenticate against an active directory domain using samba, winbind, and pam.
At this point I’ll assume that winbind/samba are both already configured and [...]

Well, for us at least.
Today I finally got rid of the very last SCO OpenUNIX system at work, and boy are we happy. After actually having used one of SCO’s products I can safely say that all the shit they get from, well, the entire IT community at this point is completly justified - they [...]

So during my only telephone conversation of the day the firealarm went off. Building administration eventually figured out that it was a false alarm at one of the condos attached to the building our office is in so the fire department didnt show up, but that didn’t stop me from snapping a few photos of [...]
