  • I'm back (for now)

    From Granitepenguin #1@90.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Thu May 16 23:54:17 2024

    The board has never gone down, but I've been up to my eyeballs in work and school. I just finished my third year of my Electrical Engineering degree, still have about 4 to go (doing a combo BS/MSE). Hasn't left much time for anything else.

    Running on linux has always been a bit of a 2nd-class citizen. Back in 2014 when I was first helping figure out how to get linux working, DOSEMU actually worked. The problem is there have been drastic changes to the linux kernel and WWIV code that they no longer get along (It's my stuff in the docs about using it for things like TW2002). I've had a couple other attempts with QEMU, but never got anywhere with it, and too many other things have gotten in the way since then.

    Hopefully I can spend some time on things this summer before school starts again. I took the summer off because Circuits II beat me to death and I need the break (doing a full datacenter outmigration hasn't helped any).

    I have been taking several Monday's off (this week, Monday & Tuesday) lately. It really helps me avoid burnout and be able to deal with working another 4 1/2 years or so. I can't wait to have freedom and more time to do what I want.

    Late this year/early next, I'll be doing yet another new Data Center in my career. It will be new, but technically part of it will be a migration.

    My work purchased a corporate headquarters back in 2020 that also had a data center inside of it (was previously owned by T.Rowe Price). We will be modifiying and re-using that space as one of our main data centers.
