Chris and I hiked up to a grave on top of a Perry County mountain yesterday in search of a geocache, which we did manage to find. We walked part of a trail in the Hemlocks Natural Area, a very beautiful place indeed. We then trekked up the side of a mountain, walked along its top, and then, about half a mile from our target, we realized that it was on the next mountain over. We had to go through the very narrow valley between, then met up with a trail on the other side. Chris says one mountain per hike is now a requirement.

I’ve been playing with ISC DHCPD a good bit recently. Today I became more aware of the limitations in OMAPI, especially the lack of useful parameters that can be specified for host objects in this manner. This was completely offset by the coolness of dhcp-eval, however.

Welcome to summer. We had our first storm recently… I lost two ethernet switch ports, a POTS port on my ISDN TA, and a NIC. Over the next two days, I lost two more switch ports. On the evening of Friday the 23rd, at least a week later, the ISDN TA is acting oddly. I can only get one channel to engage PPP-wise, and our POTS line won’t pick up when the PPP link is up. I’m going to pick up another of the same kind of TA to start with… most of the Linux ISDN support is Eurocentric (or just German?), and I’m not willing to devote a 24×7 machine to being a PBX/router at home yet. Oh well. Lots of hardware to replace this summer.
