rasteri's Journal: Stuff

Well, it's 4:39 in the morning, and I've just finished putting the final touches on the firewall script I wrote for the server. That's right - I've finally bit the bullet and installed a "proper" linux distro. And it works great! I wish I'd saved myself the time and done this to start with.

The box is running Slackware 8.1, with kernel version 2.4.18. I wrote my own firewall script, and I intend to use webmin to keep everything running smoothly. I've gone back to the time-honoured pptp method of connection, simply because it seems to work faster than static routing.

I'm thinking about getting a lobotomy. I actually WANT to see the jackass movie. I can't tell if it's simply appealing to my masculine side (if I have one) or if I just like seeing grown men perform insane stunts on camera.

Finally, I bought a lavender scented air freshener for my room. I put it under the monitor. It smells nice :)
