I stumbled upon this blog today via slashdot.
This guy has customised his home to support ~ 15 gaming terminals, all receiving their images through a Ubuntu Server.
Awesome work!

Today I sat my Cisco Professional level switching exam and passed! As some of you might know I failed the first attempt. You may be wondering what I did to compensate for last time. Since my initial failure I’ve been reviewing the ‘actualtests.com‘ exam dump on 642-813. These practice questions were invaluable for me to brush up on the areas that I needed to.

For now I will be concentrating on setting up my new business website and start on the learning material for the Routing exam. I’ve heard it’s the hardest out of the three.

In closing: HOORAY FOR ME!

So I finally got around to registering my business domain the other day. It also gave me a chance to try out the new shell scripts I’ve been working on to automate my database sysadmin duties! Total success, the user input prompts need to be cleaned up (sometimes I can not even understand myself). I even found a nice looking theme to go with it! Jess is going to take some photos of me working hard for page aesthetics and then we go live!

On Sunday evening I attended the last show of the Amenta tour in WA and had a great time! The band really showed what they’re capable of and I was very proud of them. Jess helped them out by taking photos and I was asked to do the lighting (and ruled!) Here’s the embedded clip:

Congratulations are in order for Stephen who did an awesome job filming. Jess hasn’t finished with the photos she took so I’ll congratulate her later.

If you are reading this, welcome to my blog! It’s looking quite bare at the moment as most new blogs do. I would invite anyone who’s interested to check out my Bio of which I’ve written a few paragraphs about myself.

Recently my Partner Jess and I have initiated a new venture ‘Brazen Screams’. Its a work in progress at the moment where I will be contributing articles and content that are ‘Dark & Extreme’. The site is unique to Perth and encompasses all culture (i.e movies, theatre, music and video games).
The site is still in development but there is a Facebook page where you can catch up on the latest news.

The new blog and news website have all been published through my also new business ‘Bitfrost Technologies’. So if you stumble upon this and require Managed IT Services, I specialize in Web Hosting, Server/Network deployment, Troubleshooting and PC Repairs/Builds. As of yet a site hasn’t been setup but it will be as soon as I register it as an Australian Business.

Tom.
