Nick: Criggie

I live in Christchurch, but don't hold that against me! I am a member of CLUG I host and administer horse, which is similar to the WlugServer but for CLUG. The hardware is a VMware virtual machine which connects to the net via a pfsense firewall over vlans. The box will migrate to KVM as soon as I upgrade the host hardware to VT capable.

My home server and email The network is documented at http://criggie.dyndns.org/network/

My laptop was a Compaq Concerto pen-based 486 laptop, then a Toshiba Tecra 530 CDT, then a Toshiba Satellite 4030 CDT, and for a long time was a Dell Latitude L400. Sold that when I got a work-supplied laptop, a HP/Compaq NX9000 from the TELA teachers scheme. Then I left that job and have been without for two years. All ran Linux with various wireless cards. Then the missus buys me an Asus? EEE 901. Damn its good (so is she.)

Please go look at GarageSale to see what stuff I need and want, or have and don't want. Theres another list at http://criggie.dyndns.org/swap/

I also read WebComics, work at http://www.totalteam.co.nz/ where I do linux server support and maintenance, VPN admin, general network troubleshooting, and drink coffee while looking outside at hookers. Other people here do Cisco stuff and Point of Sale stuff. We don't do windows.

Points of view with regard to ReligiousWars?

• Vim over Emacs - used to use emacs at uni, but vi is smaller.
• Intel CPUs over AMD - you just don't see as many old AMDs as you do intel CPUs.
• KDE or GNOME both suck - use TWM
• ReplyToMunging over NoReplyToMunging
• Linux vs Windows - whatever works for the task at hand.
• AppleMacintosh vs x86 - as above.
• DebianLinux over RedHat / YourLinuxDistributionOfChoice - deb breaks less than rpm.
• ShellScripts? over Perl/C/C++/Java/Python - I can't code to save myself.
• Apples over Oranges - they squirt less.
