Stuff: November 2005 Archives

Opus is a nickname I have had since High School.  I was a real big fan of Berke Breathead's "Bloom County" and had (and still have) a rather impressive Stuffed Opus Collection.  It was so bad my own sister cross-stiched an Opus in a Mortar Board as a graduation present for me.

When I went to A&M and got sucked into the world of VAX Forums, VMS, the internet, and small time hacking, I kept the nickname.  I know that there are plenty of users with the nick Opus, but I doubt any of them have had it as a verifiable online persona as long as I have (1988).

Today I have cleared the contents of my Blog to start anew... or maybe to just start.

I feel comfortable enough with MoveableType to move forward into the world of blogging on my own site (no Blogger for me.. no sir).

I spent most of my Thanksgiving setting up my first complete Linux Box using the RedHat Fedora 4 Core.  I've had Linux on computers before, but typically I was just running the CD versions for diagnostics, etc... this is my first full time Linux Box.  I hope to have it up an running as an Intranet Test Server for the various web-sites I help administer for some of the non-profits I support.
