Movies: Love Stinks

On recommendation from one of my new co-workers, Eric, I need to check out Love Stinks. Just a personal note.

Employment: Granted.

Considering A Name Change

Well, I’ve been considering this for some time now, and I’m not sure how I’m going to approch this when I actually implement it. I’m thinking of changing the name of Linuxwhore.com.

XORP: eXtensible Open Router Platform

For several years now, I’ve been looking for a good open-source router distribution. Smoothwall comes close, but it’s a little simplistic for a good Cisco router replacement. Now, I don’t know why I’ve not heard of it up until now, but here’s what sounds like a good option: XORP. I downloaded the LiveCD and I [...]
