Installing Etherboot on a Hard Disk Drive
Posted on July 10th, 2006 in Linux
My Linux Terminal Server Project is going well, however one of the painful support problems in branches is people removing the Rom-O-Matic boot CD’s we use to boot old PC’s on the terminal server. A lot of the old PC’s have hard drives and staff tinker with the BIOS to get to whatever version of windows is sitting on these old drives. Once they lose the boot CD we have to burn a new one and send it out.
I got frustrated today when I went to a customer service PC and discovered it sitting at a windows 98 logon prompt and the boot CD missing. Now this machine will never work on the network from Win98.

Dan Finnerty & the Dan Band
Posted on April 8th, 2006 in Music
I saw a performance by The Dan Band on MTV last night. I was laughing so hard I had to stop workinging on the Ziggy’s Online Games website, go upstairs and grab my wife and show her.
This is one of the hottest live shows in Hollywood right now, and I can see why. The Dan Band is a all male threesome that sings diva anthems. Grrl power! It’s funny and inspired lunacy. I want to see this show live. The performance songs include “Ring My Bell” by Anita Ward, “Nasty” by Janet Jackson, “Slave 4 U” by Britney Spears and “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips.
The show was produced by Dreamworks for Bravo. There’s a CD available on amazon.
