I solved the problem, almost trivially, by telling the jumpstart software to set the root passwords, which in my last Friday’s end-of-long-week denseness, [...]

Our youngest granddaughter turns 7 today. We just called to impress her with our melodious pipes as we sing “Happy Birthday”, but she and her dad are on an emergency run to Toys ‘r Us. We’ll try back later.

Today finds me heading southward to my shabby cubicle, to fix up some Solaris jumpstarts. We’re switching to flash archives for provisioning our Solaris boxen, and for some reason, root passwords are coming up unset. Not a Good Thing. I knew this was happening before I left on Friday; it was late, and [...]
As part of the Getting our Shit in one Sock Bundy vacation we’re on, my little bride and I are upgrading the production iMac here at tbbs World HQ.

I question how any governmental unit can keep us safe.
I question why freedom for hunters is equated with [...]

1 Between Uncle and Virginia, a near wash. Lovin’ that.
To commemorate last night’s Kansas basketball triumph, I’m forsaking my all-black garb for one day only. Today, appearing in a shabby cubicle near you, will be an old man attired in a tasteful white polo shirt, with an understated Jayhawk embroidered on the left breast.
