snowman.net

As some of you might have noticed, my website's been down for a little while. Basically what happened is that one of my machines at home died and I needed to replace it in rather short order- which I did, with my webserver. I had been thinking I would set up apache on the replaced box and have it be the webserver too. As it turns out though, I'm rather lazy and just never got around to it. Eventually I decided that it probably made more sense to put my website up on kenobi.snowman.net (shared colo box in texas). That involved some amount of effort though and it wasn't until now that I got around to it.

At this point though I'm thinking I'll probably redesign my website, maybe do a silly RSS feed or whatever and move the rest of the stuff I do at home to kenobi. Once that's done I might actually (*gasp*) cancel my DSL line and just live with my cable modem. I've got a couple other people using my DSL at the moment, so I'll need to kick them off first, of course. In the end I'd probably save about $90/month though which would be nice, considering we've got another kid on the way!

For those of you who don't know (and there can't be very many...), Megan's pregnant again (go me!) and she's due in March. It's starting to get exciting as we get closer to when she's due. As with Ryan, we've decided that we're not going to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl ahead of time, sorry to all you grandparents out there.

In other news, perhaps the reemergence of my website will prompt me into working on a few things. People have actually started bugging me on IRC about ipt_recent being busted in the latest kernels (which I fully expect is due to people changing how jiffies are supposed to be handled, again) so I'm going to try and work on that a bit in the nearish future. The other big thing I need to get back to working on is my Debian Application Manager stuff, I've let that sit for *way* too long at this point. I need to update some of my Debian packages too. Oh, and PostgreSQL 8.1 is out, with Roles support, added by yours truly (well, in part, Tom Lane did alot of work on them too)- check for my name in the release notes though! I need to spend some time with the information_schema in 8.1 and the SQL2003 specification though and make sure we're doing the right things there with regard to roles.

Enough for now I suppose. I'll try to update this site a bit more frequently in the future, but then, I try to do alot of things.
