aha - i've neglected blogger again! So for my sins, I've signed up to Bloggerâ„¢ Pro - Ev's doing an early adopter deal of $35 for the year to get preferential servers, more features, and so on.

Since I last blogged, I've changed jobs - I'm now working for SmoothWall :) Working from home is certainly something to get used to, but a lot of the stuff I'm doing is the same stuff I've done for SmoothWall the GPL project over the last year, but I get to spend more time doing it, and I get my evenings back!

on a sad note, my server for the last year, intrepid (a Dell Optiplex GXpro I bought 2nd user just before xmas 2000), has decided that its 2nd IDE controller isn't going to work for anything longer than an hour or so at a time. And of course that would be the channel with the two 30 gig drives hanging off it with my entire MP3 collection and god knows what else ... so I've mass umounted /store (where the 30 gig drives live) and am thinking of either finding a replacement or sourcing a new IDE card, like an ATA-100 job. Needs to support Linux tho ... bleh.

Well, I shall blog again - if I'm paying for it, I'd bloody well better!!
