Time to another daily update (not) 
This year seems to be flying by and time is continuously getting away from me. Easy to tell by the infrequency of my posts to this little weblog sorta thing.
However, a nice quiet day down the coast is a good time to get some things done and then do a little perl programming later.
Linkage of the day: Groklaw - a nice site detailing the latest antics of SCO. A good informative read.
Now to learn some more about pop and push and about how to properly use a hash of arrays….

Thanks to myrddin of myrddin.org, he worked out a method of pulling cpu stats from a win2k boxen using some awk goodness:
`snmpwalk -v1 -c public machine hrProcessorLoad | awk ‘{print $4}’ ; echo 0; echo 0`
I need to consolidate this sort of information onto a seperate page(s) I think.
Ah well, time to play later.

Well, I was having a good last Tuesday until we had a slight power problem. I got home and found (luckily) that all my boxes had come back successfully - with the exception of some nasty error messages on my gateway about being unable to find a dhcp server.
I looked at the cable modem to note to my horror that only the power light was on 
Short end to the tale - after a fair few hours of stuffing around, I now have a dead cable modem. Being out of contract, getting a new one would hurt a lot and I had been meaning to move to ADSL for a fair while (inertia had been stopping me). This prompted the move and I signed up with Internode the same night.
Over the next few days, Internode did everything right and I managed to get a second hand Dlink dsl-300 modem cheap which was very pleasing. Got back from the south coast last night and found that my line was now provisioned. Being late I only had time for a quick play using the laptop but it worked :))
So I now have 266% more data to leech at a slower rate (but I don’t play games much any more so that isn’t a big issue) and life will return back to normal. Lots of configuration work required later today when I get back from work but such is life
Linux thing of the day to look up: apt-cache show ifenslave
