Engage the cloak!

Ok, it seems that a couple of days ago, my server got pushed back behind the firewall at work so now I’m effectively invisible and can’t access several projects I’ve been working on unless I’m at work. The server is working just fine, and I have no problem getting to it from work. I just can’t see it from anywhere outside of work.

I suspect third party interference in this but will refrain from spreading gossip about it.

Now to go see what can be done about this. May be invisible for a time while things get sorted out. Some rearranging might be required.

Update: Had one of the PACS guys check with one of the network people and the server is still outside the firewall. Looks like something else is going on. May have to relocate my blog, gallery, wiki and e107 site.

Beach bum Stanley

A vet appointment for Nala this morning gave me the perfect excuse to take the morning off and head to the beach with Stanley and the dogs before going to the vet. So off we went to the Washout area at Folly Beach. It was just before high tide, so there wasn’t much beach area to speak of so we just stood and watched and listened to the waves.



Then we went over to the Folly Beach fishing pier where there was a little more beach to wander around on. Unfortunately the fishing pier has a no dogs rule, so we couldn’t go for a walk on the pier.


Off to the vet. Nala has this quarter sized patch that she’s been scratching at so I wanted to get it checked out because she’s losing hair there now. Stanley’s checking out what the vet tech is scribbling down in Nala’s chart.

And that brings an end to Stanley’s adventures in Charleston with me. He’s at the mail box now waiting for Mail Guy to pick him up, but before packing him up I included a package of Nala and Simba’s favourite cookies from The Good Dog Bakery for Stanley to share with the dogs at his next stop.

It’s not hair, it’s a condiment

Found in the sig of a lab-retriever.net forum member

If the recipe doesn’t include a few lab hairs…it ain’t complete.

Stanley visits Waterfront Park

After hitting the dog park after work today, I decided to take the dogs for a walk down to Waterfront Park on the Charleston Peninsula. It was a very nice evening for a walk

Then we headed out onto the boardwalk to enjoy the view and some of the orange-y-ness of the sunset

CSCLUG Linux Demo Day

Today’s CSCLUG Linux Demo Day turned out to be a pretty good event, and a resounding success by my standards. I’d say we had somewhere around 50-60 people stop by today. Most came by for the event, a few came in just to get coffee so we explained to them what was going on. There were even a few that said they were interested in learning more about Linux but didn’t have anybody to guide them, which was precisely the audience we were looking for.

There were some very interesting demonstrations going on, including a couple of OLPC-XO units that could do interesting things like function as an oscilloscope and even acoustic distance measurements. Zenko showed off Linux gaming on a laptop and used his eeePC to remote control a Roomba. There was also lots of fun being had with Blobber.
