On Saturday the 1st the Philadelphia team of the Ubuntu Pennsylvania LoCo held our release party. Just like last year, we decided to celebrate the release with a Halloween influenced costume party at Drake Tavern in Jenkintown. Drake Tavern is quite the hospitable place for our events, it’s a pretty family-friendly environment (Zoe was our […]

Pumpkin Season!
September 7th, 2008 by pleia2
I love the fall. The tropical storms sweeping up the coast, fewer days when air conditioning is required, the start of breweries releasing pumpkin ales. I haven’t been going out as much lately, been hanging in and getting work done on projects. Even so, I’m tired, I need a vacation. I might talk to my […]
Ubuntu-US-NJ LAN, PLUG Logo, FCM and LedgerSMB
August 30th, 2008 by pleia2
Last weekend I attended the August 2008 LAN Party hosted by the Ubuntu NJ folks. There were two parties, one in North Jersey and the one I attended in Cherry Hill, across the bridge from Philadelphia. I got a bit lost on my way out (oops) but arrived shortly after 5 for BBQ and a […]
My Network! (and a little ledgersmb)
August 21st, 2008 by pleia2
When I moved back into the house we decided to give me my own network (along with my own external IP address) – yippee! First thing I had to get? A spiffy reversal, as seen on R2D2’s hostname: -!- R2D2 [~astromech@alderaan.princessleia.com] has joined #rainwreck From there I built my network. R2A6: Laptop (Ubuntu Hardy) R2D2: […]
The Last HOPE
August 14th, 2008 by pleia2
Last month I attended The Last HOPE with my friend Mike from New Jersey. It was a really fun weekend during which I took no pictures – so I sorted through Mike’s photos and am posting them to pass them off as my own. In spite of waiting years to go (Mike’s bugged me last […]
New R2D2!
August 5th, 2008 by pleia2
While at the Trenton Computer Festival this year, my festival-mate and I were snagged by a colo selling off a bunch of old and unused equipment – cheap. It was the last hour of the festival, so they were really trying to unload stuff, I admit to being the one who finally got suckered in. […]
Made the leap to flatpanel
August 2nd, 2008 by pleia2
As seen here, I was one of the last geeky holdouts I know to still have a CRT for daily, normal use. Well I, sorta on a whim, left that camp today and while at Micro Center picked myself up an Acer AL2216W flatpanel monitor. Boy does it shine! I’m very happy with my purchase. […]
Network configured
July 26th, 2008 by pleia2
I have my new network set up at the house. Michael gave me a static IP of my own (and a pretty reversal coming soon!), so I now manage my own network at the house. I’ve developed into quite a capable sysadmin over the past year, and running my own firewall and network will allow […]
