Another Year

Once again, this day has rolled around. Another year older, but feel the same as ever. Well at least I am one year closer to drinking myself into a stupor a few nights a month. Nah, I doubt I will do that honestly.

Enough of that, seems I will be receiving some old computer hardware later tonight when I go into my graveyard shift. Hey, free is free even if it is outdated tech. I know I can salvage the monitor for my old desktop and maybe turn the tower of this new PC into a Linux server to stick in my closet with a wifi card. Well, I don't have an extra wifi card laying around so I will just run a cable through my room for now until a better solution presents itself. The real question is...what will I use the server for?

I already have a SSH tunneling system that is set up on my router, so that is out of the question. Hmm...well for lack of a better purpose: Folding at Home. Desktop (A.K.A. Borgcollective, don't ask) already runs the client as a service so why not add another to my small little farm.

I know, a better web server for my personal needs would be very useful, maybe even toss a Ventrilo setup on it just for laughs. Well, I suppose all this depends on how old the hardware is but I know I will at least get a FaH client running on it. The rest is yet to be determined.

Still Around, Busy With The Duties Of TBB

Yea, I am still around. I just have been heavily working on TBB or thebattlebegins for anyone that doesn't know. It's been fun so far and the site is gradually changing. I look forward to seeing my work on the front page :P but I am patient enough to stick around until that day. Things will get interesting, and soon. About all I can say with that one. I highly recommend you go check the site out if you enjoy hanging out with other Gamers, I'll be on there too either posting a new article or hanging out in the Battle Center chat.

Don't think the internet has seen the last of me yet, I'll be popping back here from time to time to use this as my comments outside of my articles on TBB sort of thing. I get to post whatever I want here. Should be interesting in the weeks ahead. As I say at the end of all my articles for TBB: Game on, my fellow Gamers.
