New days are coming

What I'm doing. Look for computers and network at my job. Ibm Blade server doesn't impress me so much I thought. I still using pretty much Linux os. Practise with kix on windows workstations. Still much learning to do. Home backup is now much reliable. Fixing past screws up. Testing openswan environment with ipsec.
Invest some money in cycle tools.
