My boss has handed over half a dozen Sun boxes and two Google search appliances for me to manage. We have two other sysadmins that manage the core OS and hardware upgrades, which is incredibly helpful. They also do the backups. What I've been doing is systematically updating all of the packages that we use for web services. On the core build machine that's more than 50 apps and modules. We compile from source in order of dependency, make the tweaks, and move on to the next one. Once the core machine is done we push the compiled files to the others via a neat Unix script and walk through the installs. Takes a couple of days to do the core machine, then about a day per box after that. Keep in mind that the whole time I'm usually multi-tasking since most of the installs just take proc crunch time. So far so good. And then today I tried to install Orbeon web forms and discovered the joys of software dependencies. |

An editor from Schmap Guides contacted me last month about a picture I took up in Virginia City during the 2006 Labor Day parade. Schmap Guides is an interactive map and guide site, with formatting specifically to support iPhones and mobile web users. The editor asked if they could include the picture in their Schmap Reno guide and I said sure. Always glad to help.
Here's the link to the 5th Edition Schmap Reno guide and my pic (Bucket of Blood Saloon, bunch of kids dressed up in civil war garb leaning against an old wall sign... just like the one on this page). Since I just got a Blackberry Curve 8330 I'm going to have to check this out. |
