the occasional occurrence

Whew. We are two-thirds of the way to our new home. We are camping out in South Charleston, Ohio tonight. Not really camping; we are staying with my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. The drive went great, but packing up took longer than expected (as we should have expected). We had a [...]

The moving van is loaded. We are sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Hopefully we have a place to move into on Tuesday.

First time eating sushi
First time playing Mahjong

Wow. I have only three days left at my current job as Network Administrator at Greenville College. I have been there for 4 1/2 years. It was my first “real” job out of college, and it has been a great place to learn and grow. I am really going to miss [...]

The whole server conversion wasn’t too painful. I got my new VPS (Virtual Private Server) from VPSLand last Friday. I only had a few OS choices, none of them being Slackware, so I went with Debian (my other choices [...]

dowski.com is alive and kicking on the new server. Hopefully the wonderful world of the Domain Name System will catch up soon and the transition will be complete. More details on the server migration soon…
