A Puppet primer

This blog post is a quick introduction and survival guide for basic puppet usage.

Installations gallore

I have spend a lot of time installing stuff recently. In this blog entry, I have collected some of my thoughts and experiences.

Thinkpad x230

My new work PC is a Lenovo Thinkpad x230. It is a really nice machine(and very Linux compatible) and I’m sure it going to be my new best friend 🙂

Debian on my beagle board

I went to a one-day intro course to TI’s beagle board last year, and now I have the time to look at it in details. It is a cool device with everything you need for a small embedded media system. 

Testing Rackspace

I have decided that it was time to try how this cloud stuff works. After searching a bit, I found rackspace.com and decided that having a server in the cloud for $10 per month was cheap enough to look into. I am considering whether or not I want to have my own server at home.

Extra graphics card

I inserted a spare graphics card in epia. It is old, but I wanted an extra monitor attached. This is the log of how it it failed to work.

Broadcom wireless

After reinstalling my PC, I boldly announced that it was working fine. I was wrong, the wireless connection starting having issues, and I ended up (temporarily) using the proprietary driver from Broadcom.
