I got spammed

For anyone subscribed to my RSS feed, I did not post the last message (it has been deleted) and it was obviously a fishing scam. Don't send the guy money or bank info. :)

Amtrak Century 2009

My actual ride
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/13164280

The planned ride
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3185753

I think the only difference is the way through San Clemente. I was not paying attention to the route slip and just went the way I knew. I heard someone behind me and didn't realize my error until later. It didn't really matter since both routes end up in the same place.

Arch Linux

I set up Arch Linux to be the OS for my home server. I used the installation guide from www.archlinux.org. Arch was great because I learned a lot about Linux just from setting it up. You feel like an expert until you try to repeat the process without the guide. Here is a list of things my home server does.

1. mount raid 5 array
2. run 3dm2 to monitor the RAID array
3. ssh server
4. NFS server
5. Samba server
6. DHCP server using dnsmasq
7. getmail
8. dovecot
9. Apache
10. PHP
11. Dokuwiki
12. Squirrelmail

Outstanding Issues

1. fan speed control
2. netatalk
3. power management (stop spinning hard drives)
4. webmin

had to install rsync
#pacman -Sy rsync

to update the system
#pacman -Syu
