30 days of non-smoking completed
30 days of lenten fast completed (thought of the fast like the fast-5 diet made it easier)

17 days of the fast to go , dont know if i will start smoking again, but im happy i was able to do this, now i know i do have some amount of will power in me.

this is really funny, wonder how i missed it in the times.

Now im a brand new fan of Electric Six, just love every number of theirs, but watching Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz shake to this song is a pure wtf??? trip.

ldp in openbsd –> http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ldpd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html

openbsd 4.6 does not detect the stupid attansic network card on my acer aspire one d250, i might be trying this on a xen machine in a day or two.

Linux already has this functionality, but no proper docs anywhere unless your a all-in-one expert, mikrotik has pulled of mpls-vpn with vrf functionality, and im sure i read somewhere that they pulled the mpls code from the vyatta code base.

I had read this paper http://2008.asiabsdcon.org/papers/P8A-paper.pdf which mentioned vrf instances in openbsd. this guy here –> http://www.spacebugs.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=259&Itemid=33 , has already tested it, sort of like a vrf-lite. his site also has info on how to install openbsd on a soekris board, now what remains is mpls-vpns and l2tpv3 pseudowires.

When you have to determine why things went wrong you need to know how they work.

linux helps you do thats

linux helps you use the knowledge you gain by tinkering with it in realtime

my linux laptop can become a router

my linux laptop can become a firewall

my linux laptop can become a ids/ips

my linux laptop can become a access-point

my linux laptop can become a pbx

my linux laptop can do all of the above at the same time

i have done all of the above

iptables is awesome , even when you have not understood it

through linux i realised that learning to script/program ( even just a little bit ) can help you tremondously in your job as a network engineer.

my job is fun again because of linux

linux teaches you patience

it strips away any sense of pride and leaves you a quiet and humble person

linux gives you peace

this post is to remind me why i keep using linux, on the days when i just want to rip apart my laptop and then puke on it

slitaz is awesome.
