xinetd (tftpd), the “bind” option, and clustering
by Eric Stewart on Jul.11, 2013, under Computers, Networking, Technology
Just a quickie, probably subject to some editing later on, about how to use the “bind” option multiple times with a given service – mainly, to have a TFTP server operate from behind a virtual IP as the virtual IP (instead of becoming its real IP in the middle of the transfer).
A couple of days with Windows 8
by Eric Stewart on Jul.04, 2013, under Computers, Technology
Having obtained a new MacBook Pro from work, along with a copy of VMWare Fusion, I decided to seek out a copy of Windows 8 to see what people were complaining about. While it might seem a little sacrilegious to full screen Windows 8 on a Mac, I take this sacrifice for you to let you know what I think.
It’s not all bad.
But it’s still pretty bad.
