Fishing with the boys
By stunder | January 4, 2008
Well on Jan 1st everyone had the day off of work so Mingo, Simon, and myself decided to go out and do some fishing. We have been fishing out of Davey’s Locker in Newport Beach, CA lately it seems to be the best place around here. This time of year fishing is really hit or miss around here. We caught mostly Sculpin but I did pull up an Dog Shark (or I think it was) on Simon’s little bass fishing rod. It was a nice size shark for that little rod and real combo. Once I got it up to the boat we cut her loose.
Here is a Sculpin if you notice the points at the top of the fins and on the outside of the gill covers they deliver a poison if they stick you. The poison isn’t enough to kill you but it will mess up your day. The last trip Mingo and I went on a Kid got stuck and his hand was going between stinging and numb. Oh well here is one more photo of the face and I am out of here.

Merry Christmas Everyone
By stunder | December 25, 2007
Hey everyone that knows me knows I am an Atheist and don’t really take to holidays that well. I just feel good this year and don’t mind telling everyone Merry Christmas. Besides that this is more of a celebration of the solstice. So Merry Saturnalia people.

Ubuntu and My Dad
By stunder | November 24, 2007
Well every year around Christmas or Thanksgiving while I am at my dad’s house. He usually wants me to work on his home computer. Tune it up fix windows, defrag the drive, update his Anti-Virus subscription, and just do a clean up and backup of the photos of the family they have put on the computer. Well a couple of weeks ago he started complaining about slowness on his computer (getting ready for the holiday ritual). I told him this year I was going to load Linux on his box instead. The 1st thing he asked was “Will I be able to read excel spreadsheets?” I told him “no problem” and if he didn’t like what Linux was doing for him I would rebuild his box and put windows back on it. Once I got behind his PC and started backing up files there wasn’t a single spreadsheet on it. Not sure why that was an issue for him.

TFTP Firewall Backups
By stunder | November 18, 2007
So a week ago we started looking for a way to access all of our Cisco Firewalls (PIX and FWSMs) to run nightly configuration backups. I am not about to pay for it doesn’t seem like something that someone with half a brain shouldn’t be able to build a quick script. So I start looking around and 1st of all I find RANCID. I found that Rancid is great but it did way more than I wanted. The method for retrieving the configs wasn’t what I really wanted. It telnet’ed or ssh’ed to my PIX device and removed the pager lines. After that it would write term and just copy the output. I had unwanted lines in the config file once all was done. I could have kept messing with RANCID but figured I would try something else myself. Read the rest of this entry »

Blast from the past
By stunder | October 18, 2007
So today while I was goofing off my buddy Wiz (Gerald Wisnar) from the BGU Crew back when I was in the Marines sent me some old photos today. Seems he lost his hard drive and needed me to send him some pics from our last Vegas trip with him and Brian Marimba. So I figured I would post a couple of them.
Here is me and Wiz playing spades at Camp HM Smith in Hawaii those were the days.
Another one of the BGU Crew at Cheers Club in Itaewon, South Korea.
