In fact I find the effect feminine and charming, but I suspect thats because of the riders.http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2008/07/14/Bicycle-Baskets Hal Stern: Plumbing the Depths- July 15, 2008 It was one of those weekends when I did many things, but didn't see a common theme emerge until I spent Sunday afternoon with my hands submerged in a failed attempt to blend art and plumbing and realized I'd had a trio of plumbing references as the meta data for my weekend. But I'm cutting to the chase....

The proper way to handle this is IMHO simple: For each server, add an entry to the DHCP server, where based on the MAC address of the SP, a known IP address will be assigned. This way, everything is controlled by a centralized DHCP configuration but still each server gets a "semi static" IP address. Unfortunately, in many situations customers can not implement this, or they simply...http://blogs.sun.com/wwwillem/entry/service_processor_and_dhcp Alta Elstad: FREE Solaris OS Training Courses- July 15, 2008 Sun Training offers some interesting free web-based courses for the Solaris OS.

Last Thursday was not much fun. The reduction in force, more appropriately called lay-off, was a challenge. Good people lost their jobs and those of use remaining are trying to figure out how to still get our jobs done with out some key support folks. Well coincidently with the RIF my laptop started mis-behaving. Upon reboot Friday (the day after the rif) I was greeted with this error message: NOTICE: One or more of your IO devices have been...http://blogs.sun.com/icedawn/entry/laptop_and_retired_i_o |
