It is now December 26th and in one week I will be picking up my Uhaul for my move to Atlanta. I am not going into details until I get down there, but if you are in Atlanta and like BMWs, Linux, computers in general, Windows, the gym or interested in any of those hit me up I’m looking for people to know.

That is the main reason I haven’t been writing as much, I have had interviews and had to go find an apartment and just running around getting ready. It was nice though, my friend Roger Rustad was in Atlanta for over a month on a contract so I got to hang out with him. I haven’t mentioned Roger I don’t think, but he works a lot with Nagios and is a great person to talk to. I don’t meet a lot of techies like Rog and its a damn shame because he is one you can have a real tech conversation with. He is interested in what you have to say and what you know and if you are unfamiliar with what he is discussing he can explain it well and doesn’t look down on you for not knowing.

I should also have a new article on Linux.com coming out soon on the latest Zend Studio, which is very good in my opinion.

One word Furminator.

I bought one for my dog and I tried it out yesterday. The photos are exactly what it looks like when you are done. I’ve used about every shedding tool in the first video on that site and they all suck. On the spots I used it on I can run a brush through his coat and get nothing before it was never ending hair. If I had 10 thumbs I would be pointing them all up on this one.

Happy Holidays!

I have for quite a while now been interested in the Nokia E90, but because of the $800 price tag I am very hesitant to buy it without seeing one in person. Can anyone who happens to own one reply so I can start a dialog on the phone and get some of my questions answered.

The bad news is it looks like one of my clients may have been attacked. I kept noticing problems and found that the reboot and shutdown commands were missing. When I did a hard reboot I found out init was also missing so the server was dead in the water. Those commands just don’t go missing. After spending hours that night trying to move things to a new VPS I had trouble moving the PostgreSQL databases and just got those working yesterday.

One piece of good news is the car was taken into the shop and I found out it wasn’t going to be the $1800 I thought it was going to be, it is going to be like $800-900. It would have been less if I had taken it in sooner since the rotors rusted badly.

The 2nd to last piece of good news is that I am moving to Atlanta at the end of this month for a new job and I am VERY excited.

The last piece of good news will have to wait, but soon, very very soon.
