In Home Server Farm

So I’ve been thinking about this a bit, but not too seriously.  I’ve already got a webserver in my house that is a host for three websites. They don’t really do anything yet, I’m just kind of squatting on the domains for now.  But now I’m thinking I’d like a media server so I can store music and movies and junk for easy access. And maybe add an application server to the list so I can delete games and other junk off of my main machine, but reinstall it later without having … Continue reading

Mid-Year roll-up

I can’t believe 2009 is already half over, but such is the nature of time – it just keeps on going without consideration toward any thing. It’s been an extraordinarily busy year for me so far, and I keep hoping that things will slow down to a dull roar, but so far I think things are actually getting busier as the year progresses.  Not a good thing for my mental nor physical well being, but in this kind of economic environment, I really have no room to complain. On with … Continue reading

A week of death…

Man I can’t believe how many public figures have been lost this week!  It’s just weird.  Ed McMahon, Farah, Micheal, and Billy Mays.  OY! In other news, I’ve been palying around with my new camera and posting pics over in my facebook album. I’ve also been going through some of my more “historic” photos and creating albums for those.  As for gaming, I’ve twiddled around in LOTRO and mainly been turned off by it, yet again.  It still suffers from some design faults that are systemic to Turbine games – … Continue reading

You know it’s Summer…

‘Cuz the blog gets very little attention… I’ve been busy at work and busy outdoors, busy cleaning house, busy, busy, busy – I tend to skip the whole “Spring Cleaning” thing and do all that during Summer for some reason. So besides all the work stuff, what have I been doing for entertainment?  Mainly I’ve been watching (the new) Dr. Who.  I just finished Season 4 over the weekend, so I’m all caught up with the show, as far as DVD releases go.  I’ve also been adding quite a few photo albums … Continue reading

Slow Gaming Week

I’ve only been playing Battle Forge, and that sparingly.  I’ve been spending most of my leisure time this week watching the new Dr. Who series on DVD.  I finished Season One on Wednesday and I’m two discs into Season Two already.  I’ll probably finish that up over the weekend and then start watching some other vid’s I’ve got coming my way.  One of the “hazards” of working at the library is that it’s very easy to request a hold on anything in the collection and pick it up on your … Continue reading
