Having fun today. Installed a virtual machine of Xandros, worked great until I tried to install the M$ VM additions onto it. Now I'm installing Ubuntu 6, but it hangs at the graphics load, it must not like the VM graphics. I have had this same problem with the 3 versions of Ubuntu I have tried on the VM. I like Ubuntu, it has worked well on real hardware, just not on the VM. So, now I am trying the Xandros repair option and we will see if it can undo my mistakes. And then I will not install the Additions.
It's cold and wet and raining outside, so I had to do something a bit different.
Actually, I want to install Nagios. I've heard some good things about it, but it requires a *nix box to install it on.
Moved the GICH DNS from TDS to NetSol today. TDS was our ISP and our webhost, and our DNS, but they are no longer our ISP and therefore no longer our webhost, so the powers that be got a new webhost, and so now I had to change the DNS. Since NetSol is our registrar it is easiest to set the DNS up with them. Of course, the first thing that NetSol does is tell TDS that WorldNic is now the authoritative DNS, so now no-one can email us or access any of the web sites until the root-servers get the news. That was why I did it this morning; hopefully everything will be back to normal by Monday morning.
Just got a call, the headlight adjusters are in for the Voyager, so I need to run and pick them up. I think they are $8 apiece for 4 of them, which seems a bit steep, but if I'm going to be driving in the dark (a given) I have to have them. I had robbed the adjusters out of several of the other vans, but they are breaking the same as the originals did, the plastic is too brittle from age.
