Toasted Palm
Well, the good old Handsring Visor finally died (for good this time…I think). Now bizzare characters show up when I put batteries in and the reset button doesn’t respond.

Searching MY files with Google

I installed Google’s new Desktop Desktop Search tool. It took less than five minutes to index my drive. A did a search for one of my classes, CSCI 372 and it searches the contents of the file! Very handy for people like me who don’t organize their files very well.

Falcon Hosting Network Topology
I finished the network topology map for falconhosting.net. Here’s a simplified version. I just setup the server in Dallas. I thought I would try thttpd+php. I’m hoping to install Postfix, and djbdns (if I can make it rfc compliant). My current plan is to add two more servers by the end of next year then make an automatic failover redundancy plan so there are no single points of failure.
