Here's something I discoved recently:

Under a normal NAT (or IP Masquereding) situation, the external (public) IP address of the router cannot be reached from within the network. In other words, my machines that are inside the Centre cannot access cscc.homeunix.net, but must instead access it's associated private hostname. This is very annoying, ( Read more... )

Well, I've had a moderate amount of success today. My UltraSPARC is back in my room, and performing well. I've figured out a way around my annoying NAT setup where I couldn't access cscc.homeunix.net directly. So, mostly good.

AFS is now setup and running well on both of my SPARCs. I'm rather happy with performance, though logging in seems to ( Read more... )

It snowed today! Starting around noon we begain to see really puffy, light snow falling, and by 1:20 enough had accumulated to convince those in charge of the School (who are normally quick to panic when white precipitation begins to fly to the ground) that we should be let out early. It's lovely to leave at 1:30 instead of 2:30, but people here in ( Read more... )

Well, it is finally Friday. It has been a rather strange week, and I'm not quite sure what I should think about it.

On one side, I haven't died yet. I had pizza yesterday, and nothing dibilitating has happened to the Centre. Nobody's started any wars, and there seems to be a dearth of deadly plagues (at least where about I appear to be).

This particular dream nearly slipped past my mind. I have a bit of trouble differentiating between dreams and reality. I was sitting in class mulling over some memories, when it hit me that this couldn't possibly be reality.

The scene started in this almost empty pool complex. There were several olympic-sized swimming pools which were all in ( Read more... )

Well, I finally was able to retrieve some of my lost e-mail. Apparently, SDF's IMAP server puts my mailbox in some strange place after it is accessed so that only an IMAP client can get to it. I'm going to have to investingate that, since the IMAP server on my machine (which is University of Washington, I think), does not act in the same way.

I think I had this dream around the fall of 2003.

The scene starts out in Mr. Proffitt's class. He was, at the time, the student teacher who was in charge of my US History class. I am walking about during class completely nude.

I don't stay long in the class before I am able to fall into the sewer, a pothole conveniently placed in the centre of ( Read more... )

I'm trying to post my very early dreams, as sort of a dreamlog. This file is going to be edited to contain fragments of very early dreams as I begin to recall them.

I have two early dreams that I seem to always be able to recall with fluency (or as much fluency as can be expected from a early dream).

One is more like a painting, very little ( Read more... )
