Under African Skies!

It has been awhile since my last entry…
been keeping my self busy with work I bought a new Pc mag 2days ago with the full Impi linux distribution on it, so that will keep my occupied this weekend and next week. trying it out

Been reading reading up on bandwidth throttling aswell with squidproxy, want to make sure i get it running and don’t break anything when attempting to activate it. And lastly been having frequent disccusion with various car dealers. Want to buy a new car/bakkie, but itn is a bitch getting a decent price on my car But at last i got what i want and hopefully i will be driving another car soon. But iI am pretty sure i got to the source of my car’s current problem last night when cleaning it. The vacuum advange, air pipe was parished. So it didn’t want to idle properly and kept dying when I stop. I didn’t have any probs this morning when driving to work

And that is what has kwept me busy over the last 2 weeks …

When one has re-occuring problems,

1. Is it a sign to break off and get going?

or

2. Is it an endurance test?

you know how big the world is? well i think the www is bigger offcourse it is.
This morning i found this site, Open Education, and more specifically this page with Training material. From this page I found this link, Learn Linux. Which I might add is a very usefull site, right next door. I had to got half way round the world, to get a link to a site, located just across the border

Some length to travel, i feel tired…

I have found an excellent page explaining NAT, well written and colorfull

NAT Concept

When your monitor says, “No Signal”

Step 1 : Check the that the monitor is plugged in.

Step 2: Switch on the darn machine !!!!

seems to be picking up again…

I noticed that i haven’t received any spam on my comments for a while. It was just the one time that i got those 57 comments. I am rather glad that i set the blog to not automatically display the comments all the time…

I finally managed to get SquidGuard up and running. I must say that i am impressed. Though i have struggled to get it running the way i want to, i am happy with the end result
Just in time for the new term to start. Something tells me that i will not be very popular, once it gets discovered that a lot of p0rn, warez and chat sites can’t be accessed anymore

The blacklist file downloaded from the SquidGuard site is rather large, and I was able to see quite a number of adresses blocked, that doesn’t seem to work at all anymore. The list will have to be revised somewhat, since it was created by a robot.

had myself a long w/e, after leaving work on friday at about 9am.
well it wasn’t that much fun either, being ill. woke up on friday and i wasn’t feeling too well.
but by saterday afternoon, i was feeling a might better. don’t know what it was, might have been another bug doing its rounds…

today it is back to normal, with a whiteboard loaded with TO DO’s
