Remain (Starfield)

January 17, 2011

I’m a guy. A christian man, in fact. The Bible tells us to have the faith of a small child. As a christian, I have made the decision to have faith in God. I have faith that God exists, that he formed me in the womb and created me because he loved me even before…

State of the Universe

January 14, 2011

General Work Boy it has been a long time since my last post. I knew it had been awhile but didn’t realize it had been a few days short of a full year. Makes me feel like a bit of a failure as this was something I was hoping to do every month or so.…

Snow Leopard + Time Machine Errors

January 30, 2010

The previous blog post has solved nearly all of our network Time Machine errors. Those it hasn’t solved have been related to Snow Leopard machines. All of these machines were running 10.6.1. I can’t say for sure that that was the issue, but here is what I did to get TM running over the network…

Time Machine Access Denied

December 16, 2009

Okay, so we had one computer exhibiting the horrid -5023 error when performing time machine backups in a network environment. We finally resolved it. First, here is our setup. We have an Open Directory database in place that identifies which machines are supposed to perform Time Machine backups and where they backup to. Our OD…

Vacation Day 5

October 11, 2009

We managed to get the garage door back up and all but 3 ceiling panels installed. So I can at least close my garage this week until the next weekend when we can do the last pieces. Once the next big piece is up I can turn the power back on and be able to…

Vacation Day 4

October 10, 2009

We have hit the ceiling. Litterally. We got all the walls done, even all the little annoying pieces. We finished all the walls at about 5:30. It took us until 7 to get the first piece of drywall on the ceiling. Some of that time was just figuring out the best way to proceed. Unfortunately…

Vacation Day 3

October 9, 2009

I learned a few things about my garage today. First, I learned that mostly strait. It isnt off by much, but it is just enough to make drywall not always line up correctly. The second thing I learned about my garage is that the studs are 24 plus or minus 2. I made a valiant…

Vacation Day 2

October 8, 2009

Boy do I itch. Matt and i spent all day doing insulation. It took us about 10 minutes to take the garage door down. After that, hours of cutting and hanging insulation. It was also a great day of hanging out and chatting with Matt. We dont often hang out so getting to spend time…

Vacation Day 1

October 7, 2009

Having gotten back from Refresh Cache Tuesday night I decided to begin my vacation the right way. I started doing construction on my garage. My garage has been a disaster since I bought my house 2 years ago. It is a separated garage from the main house. It was also never properly sealed so there…

On the way to RefreshCache 2009

October 4, 2009

Joel and I are somewhere on the I-10 in Arizona. Its late and Im tired but figured this might wake me up. I had a thought on the SVN setup the community currently uses. While I appreciate the work Arena has put into the svn hosting service we currently use, and I always hate to…
