At long last, it finally seems like my web hosting/email address is going to stay the same for a bit. Of course, now that I've typed that, it'll probably be time for AT&T to sell their broadband service to someone else.
The number of hits is finally starting to go back up again meaning that people have either refound or initially found the new location for the lessons learned. Feel free to scatter the link hither and yon; it's out there as a resource to UNIX admins as needed.

Another hit from the AT&T purchase of MediaOne - I had to change my web hosting site for the relocation pages. I managed to update the old ones so, in case you came in that way, the new url is http://members.home.net/dkoleary/ll.html
I don't know how long AT&T will keep the old pages up there. Since it'll take work to remove them, hopefully, they'll be there for awhile.

Well, it looks like the mediaone.net & home.com merger finally hit me. I had to update my configuration which means I finally got a new IP address. Curiously enough, I'm still getting hit with the 24.29.232.217 IP; unfortunately, my firewall is blocking that because it's not my IP anymore. If you're reading this, you're probably one of the few people that actually bookmarked the redirection page versus the hardcoded IP.
Anyway, thanks for visiting; let me know if there's anything in here that should be corrected, updated, or deleted.

Hi;
I've noticed quite a few hits on this site after only a couple of references on some of the newsgroups. I have to admit, I'm actually amazed at the number and source of some of these.
I hope you find something useful here. These are tips/tricks/suggestions that I've picked up over the years working on UNIX systems. The primary purpose was to document things that, for one reason or another, were hard for me to remember or were hard to find in the first place.
Please note that I'm working under two limitations. First, this web site is operating on a Linux box that's connected to the net through MediaOne's cable modem service. As such, I'm assigned a dynamic address so I may end up with a different one every time I boot my system. I have a cron job going which updates a few redirection web pages - one of which is the Lessons Learned page on MediaOne's server. So, if you're going to bookmark anything, use that one. Otherwise, there's no guarantee that the IP address will be the same the next time you come around.
The other limitation is that I don't have my own personal generator so if inclement weather should happen upon my poor system, I'll have to shut it down. If you try the link and nothing happens, that's probably what happened. Try again in a couple of hours - that or look on the Weather Channel for my area. Failing the occasional weather, the system should be up all the time.
If you should find something that's not accurate, please send me a note. Also, if you know of anything that should probably be included in this list, send it to me and I'll stick it in there.
I'm hoping to get a search type functionality built into this thing pretty soon; however, I have a day job, so I'll have to get to that when I can.
Thanks for visiting.
