Sidebar now contains links to some geek stuff that I use quite a bit lately.
Our transition from an NT based ISP to a partially FreeBSD based ISP hasn't gone too bad. It's only taken a year, and I've only had to throw my entire life down this hole to get it done, but we are starting to see some positive results.
Our mail server seems stable, our RADIUS server has been working reliably for about 6 months, and strapping all this stuff to MySQL hasn't caused us to pull all our hair out. The interface for managing this system is slowly coming together, thanks to Erin and PHP. The main reason it's been so slow is that we are trying to get all this stuff generalized enough so it will remain independent of where it is placed, and not rely on which servers are doing what work. So interface development is the last step in a process that requires us to watch out for traps that would make our code so specific that it will not retain it's usefulness as a general system.
We'll get there, but we will have to slay some dragons along the way.
