Blog Changes

plathrop — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 19:20:17 +0000

I’ve decided to alter the direction of this blog (not that it had a lot of direction to begin with).

Thing is, I kept meaning to write more, and life kept getting in the way. After thinking about it more, it seems that the solution is to not restrict myself to just writing about work, and allow myself to write about life as it happens.

Let’s give it a go…

Bad Blogger, no biscuit!

Yeah, I haven’t been updating like I should. But, I’m apparently pretty high on the list for Google results when searching for Puppet recipes, so maybe I should fix my theme and start updating again…

Crickets

It’s quiet in here. Life has been hectic and I’m somewhat confused as to what I’m allowed to say without getting in trouble at work.

Hopefully I’ll have some more Puppet content soon.

Bash History

Here are a couple of tips for more effective use of your Bash command history. I think the Ctrl-R trick will save me a lot of typing.

I have some articles planned, but have been busy starting my new job. Those few of you who actually read this, don’t worry – I’ll be back.

Is it quiet in here?

The lack of posts is due to a general lull in my work lately. I’ve got a couple of posts in the queue, but they need more development. Stay tuned!

New blog software

I was pretty unhappy with Drupal as a blog software so I’ve switched to Wordpress. Since I have a fairly limited audience and not a lot of old content, I’m pretty sure this won’t disrupt people much. The code segments in the old posts don’t look as nice as I would like, but I’m not going to focus on fixing that unless I get a lot of complaints.

Thanks for bearing with me!

Inspiration

A friend and former co-worker has been writing interesting and useful articles over at his tech blog. I’ve been thinking about doing something similar for quite some time; guess seeing him do it was adequate inspiration.

I’ll be writing about systems administration and my experiences as a systems administrator (I know, fairly obvious from the title).

Stay tuned…
