Check out the October issue of the Linux Format ‘Linux Pro’ pull out and there is an interview with me regarding the Linux desktops we have at Speedy. Hopefully it will give people the confidence to implement similar solutions for themselves, because it works! Thanks to Jono Bacon for the interview
Went to see ‘The Village’ last night, good film, the usual M. Night Shyamalan fare, spooky with a twist at the end. Though I must admit I had an idea about the twist 1/2 way through, I think this fella is aiming to be the new Hitchcock.
On the computer front I am trying to get a connection from a linux box to a PPTP VPN using MS-Chap. I followed the instructions on the pptp-client website bit it still ain’t working. Got an interesting week next week, got to tell a few suppliers that we don’t need them anymore, they will be pleased!
Anyone any good with Hylafax? Could do with a few tips….
Hmmm, well today was fun packed! Had a meeting with BT at Grand Island 11am today so I went straight there from home, which meant a I didn’t have to get up as early which is always a good thing…. Meeting went OK, the XDA looks promising, shame it can’t run Linux. Also discovered that BT switched the authentication from CHAP to PAP on our Hull depot, nice of them to tell us before hand!
Came home, Julie is still out so having to amuse myself by writing this blog entry! Considering getting an Openbrick-E for a LTSP client.
Well this is my first real attempt at a blog.
Its been a crap day, went to a depot to install a Linux box, got half way home and they called to complain that they can’t print like they used to. So that means another trip down to Dudley, not something I relish. Then tried to install some software over an VPN and it wasn’t happening, it was like sucking marmite through a straw, slow and painfull. So that fell on its arse and I am going to have to go back down with a CD to install. The sooner we get this network sorted the better.
