    In our preparation for a grand adventure we took our camper trailer to Spring Valley for a weekend. The night before we left we brought the trailer home to charge the batteries and load up.

    So my wife and I subscribe to a service called Every Plate. It’s a meal delivery service that sends you groceries for home-cooked meals every week. Its pretty great, but instead of sending just a few cloves of garlic where needed they send an entire head. This isn’t a huge deal, we eat a lot…

    You might have read in the datacenter diary that a switch was failing, it had a bad fan. Clearly the device had to go, but I had hopes of refurbishing it. If anything, its a test-run of doing more of this. Just out of curiosity I popped the lid open. The fans look like pretty…

    While out with my family gathering firewood, I stumbled upon some real nifty mushrooms. There must have been a hundred or more all growing out of one dead tree.

    Datacenter Diary #1 Im starting off a new category on my blog, “Datacenter Diary.” It basically just chronicles my adventures in the “Server Canyon” (or other) realm. In this post I recount dealing with our first major hardware failure. Hardware failure happens all the time, but this was a single-point-of-failure device. Our main backbone switch.…

    It’s springtime and that means it is time to go pick mushrooms. Morels are my personal favorite. They grow anywhere (in North Idaho at least) where a wildfire burned through a forrest the previous year, and typically pop up once it hits 70F outside.If you ever wondered why people keep such a close eye on…
