evanescence

Filed under: general — Tags: — site admin @ 12:32 am

I’ve been listening to a lot of Evanescence lately. My friend told me about them prolly 6 months ago, but I couldn’t find their stuff. Then the radio started playing their songs a lot. So I got their album. I am quite impressed. Amy (the lead singer) has an awesome voice. She can belt it out so goood….. Definately an awesome band I wanna see in concert.
Got my mobile ide racks in. Waiting for the APC SNMP/Web Management card for my APC SmartUPS 700va ups and a used phillips 8×4x32x cdrw drive. I’m thinking a new case would be nice for my server. I’ll have to see what I can find, either antec or chieftec.
I bought the movie Ronin on dvd. This movie pwnz. Anyone who hasn’t seen it yet needs to. Two awesome car chase scenes. The best. Robert Dinero is the man.
couple quick quotes:
“someone once said that true wisdom comes from enduring a lot of pain. well if that is true, i should be a fucking genius” - anonymous
“good things come to those who wait” - robert dinero in Ronin
I just dunno how much longer I can hold out………

3rd time the charm???

Filed under: general — Tags: — site admin @ 9:35 pm

So I took my Terayon TJ715 cable modem I rent from Adelphia to my local office to get exchanged. Mind you this is my 2nd cable modem, 2nd Terayon. I was told from Powerlink techs that there are many trouble tickets at Powerlink tech support about the TJ715 losing sync with the headend, which is the problem I have. It would just randomly lose connection. Very annoying. At least once a day. The internal web page of the cable modem stops working 5 mins after a cold boot of the cable modem. Adelphia did upgrade the firmware of the cable modem, but I didn’t trust it. They also locked me out of SNMP on the cable modem in doing the firmware upgrade. Yay.
So I know have a Com21 cable modem, model DP1110XB. It has 6 diagnostic leds, has a nice internal web site which actually works, has yet to lose sync with the headend (Modem Uptime DD:HH:MM:SS.SS 3:01:32:25.97), and has a very solid upload. That was another issue I had with the TJ715. It would burst some upload data, then stop, then burst, then stop… etc etc. This Com21 just loves it.
So I decided to load ClarkConnect 2.0 Home on my linux router too. Works very well. Seems a bit quicker and more responsive. Runs Redhat 9.0. Less system resources used. Hope both of these upgrades fix my internet problems. Man, I am tired of it. Especially hearing my mom bitch about the internet being down. Not much I can do about it; I’d love to fix it myself with the given permission and knowledge. Do Adelphia a favor and same them some bones.
I mashed down on apache and mrtg on my linux server last night and got a lot accomplished. I needed to get rid of all the virtualhosts in apache I use for every administration function of my box. Now I just do it with mod_alias and some directives. Much faster. Mrtg now graphs memory usage, load averages, and cpu usage. Needs more tweaking, but that is okay.
A Perfect Circle’s new album came out today. I should get my hands on it. Ill Nino’s new album coming soon.
I am what you despise
I am just a disgrace you will never embrace
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you
These words are just a speck
In what you call my life’s wreck
Mistakes forsake and every word will break
