Today is day 14 (pushing day 15 at this hour), and things are looking very good. Today, I got word from the `PCBSD Project <http://www.pcbsd.org>`_ that a patch which I submitted to fix the `issue with the WiFi NIC <http://www.duckland.org/posts/201407freebsd-switch.html>`_. Well, I got notice today that `PCBSD Bug #7330 <https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/7330>`_ has been resolved, and I tested on the R810. It works!
Now, I just need to get a few things configured here first, like snapshots, backups, and porting my SDCARD reading scripts over to FreeBSD, and I should be good.
Then, fun things like configure & use IPv6. I have two FreeBSD VSP servers to test with...it will be fun!

As the month draws to a close, I am further into the switch. I have rebuilt my main laptop to `PCBSD <http://www.pcbsd.org>`_. I am still setting a few things up, but it seems to be going well.
Two things I need to fix:
- **Skype**: While there is not a native client, there are lots of folks who report success with the Linux client. I will need to do some research.
- **Nikola**: The software I use for my blogs. It throws a python error when I run it, so I cannot update things. Again, I think I just need to do some more research.
Now, the fun of the weekend is here, so I am off!

It is the 10th day of the month, and I am 10 days in trying to use FreeBSD as my daily non-work driver. How is it going?
Well, for the most part, well. I can spend most of my personal work-flow on the FreeBSD laptop with no issues. There are a couple of things I have not moved over yet, and those relate to my photo work-flow. The main application, `AfterShotPro <http://aftershotpro.com>`_ is installed and working (see `my previous desciption </posts/201403freebsd-challenge-day-4-6.html>`_ of installing in), however, I have not moved over the scripts I use in the flow. I believe they will just come over, but I have not had a chance to test them.
I was using `Chromium <http://chromium.org>`_, but any Flash site did not work. I need to revisit this at some point, but for now I went back to Firefox, and it is working create.
The only major thing right now I need to figure out is how FreeBSD deals with sound. I can hear things from the speakers just fine, but I need to figure out how to enable and use an USB headset. Not the biggest, but still. I also need to either install & configure Skype, or find a replacement video chat to use with the wife while traveling that works under FreeBSD. I like the second option better, but I have not really had the time to do the research.
And, the new site generating suite I am using works under FreeBSD. I wrote and posted this from the FreeBSD laptop.
More updates soon.

And, again, I hit something which is causing massive disk performance issues. That, and suspend/resume does not work on either laptop.
I would try to debug the issues, but that means learning a whole new set of tools, and I will not have time for a while. Next week, I am in week long meetings which will run late every day, and then I have to finish writing and present a training class the last week of the month. The hour or two I can spare will be far better spent for me by backup, re-installing `ArchLinux <http://www.archlinux.org>`_ than by starting to learn the tools. Yes, a bit of a cop-out, but I need the machines to do what I need to do. I will keep the servers FreeBSD, however, as it works great there.
I will revisit the issue of FreeBSD on the laptops when I either get new kit, or support for my models gets better.

Does updating the theme of the site count as an update? No? Okay...time to type.
Life is busy right now, and extra things are gonna have to give. I have not had a chance to do much photography (both making and processing them), so I am putting the daily site on hold, again. For the sharp eye among you, you would have noticed this last week.
On the upside, I have lost about 20 pounds since the beginning of the year. While I am not where I want to be weight-wise, I have lost a pants size which puts me back were I was about 10 years ago. Life is good.
I am going to see about updating things here more often, if nothing else to have a record of things not in a cloud based service which may dramatically change its pricing model on me.

April has come and gone, and I did not manage to find time (or energy) to post anything.
I spent most of the month at work getting ready to and then delivering some training remotely in Nashville, TN, US. Now, I can say that I have stayed at the largest non-casino hotel in the world, `The Gaylord Opryland <http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/bnago-gaylord-opryland-resort-and-convention-center/>`_. Now that that is over, I get to gear up to design a new training plan for internal product training. Such is the life of a Linux guy stuck working for a marketing group.
On the home front, we have hit a busy time with soccer, volleyball, dance, and swim time. I think we get a break sometime after the 4th of July.....

This is a quick post to capture something seen. `Ansibel <http://www.ansible.com>`_ is a configuration management tool that I have been learning recently. More details in a future post. This is just to capture this idea:
From: Smith, Chris (Big Data)
To: ansible
Ansible Galaxy is a centralised Github repository of public Ansible content, see: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ It uses a local routine that is installed when you install Ansible, called ‘ansible-galaxy’, to create a blank template for your Ansible content. What is not well known is you can run ‘ansible-galaxy’ in offline mode to create a blank template using the command:
# ansible-galaxy init --offline my-role
Enjoy,
Chris
More on this as I get some more back-ends stuff taken care of, like setting up a git repo and maybe auto-deploy from git push?

Growing up in Houston, I have followed our space program off and on. I am also a big reader of Sci-Fi. So, when I heard about the `Solar Sail Kickstarter Project <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theplanetarysociety/lightsail-a-revolutionary-solar-sailing-spacecraft/description>`_ from `The Plantary Socitey <http://www.planetary.org/>`_, I jumped on board. And, while they have raised almost 4 times their goal, I think that this is a project which will have more of an impact on humanity than some of the other projects.
So, join me in backing them!

Well, after 4 years (almost to the day), it is time for me to say good-bye to HP. The team I worked on is a great team who really know their stuff. However, I am a geek, and I want to be doing things with tech, and not talking about tech,, and for the most part, talking is all I have been doing. I have learned a lot and was given a chance to do some :doc:`traveling <201402travels>` which I do not think I would have been able to do.
So, where am I going? Well, until after I start and get on-boarded, I am not sure how much I can say. It is a financial company based in Houston, so I will not be moving the crew, just changing the direction I commute back to into the sun again.
Stay tuned here for more updates, and I will probably be using this as a place to document some of the new things I learn on the way.
Peace.

So, with the `migration of the AUR to version 4 <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#AUR_4>`_, I looked at the 12 AUR packages I had created over the years which I have not looked at in a long, long time.
The list started out with:
- `chronicle <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chronicle/>`_ - A simple blog compiler written in Perl
- `perl-leocharre-basename <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-basename/>`_ - Very basic filename string and path operations such as ext and paths
- `perl-leocharre-cli2 <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-cli2/>`_ - Some quick help for writing cli scripts
- `perl-leocharre-debug <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-debug/>`_ - Debug subroutines
- `perl-leocharre-dir <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-dir/>`_ - Subroutines for general directory needs
- `perl-leocharre-strings <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-strings/>`_ - Combines string procedures I frequently use
- `perl-string-prettify <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-string-prettify/>`_ - Subroutines to cleanup a filename and or garble for human eyes
- `perl-wordpress-api <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-api/>`_ - Management of Wordpress API objects. Inherits WordPress::XMLRPC and all its methods
- `perl-wordpress-cli <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-cli/>`_ - Command line access to Wordpress
- `perl-wordpress-xmlrpc <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-xmlrpc/>`_ - API to Wordpress XML RPC calls
- `usbmount <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usbmount/>`_ - Automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
- `xlhttp <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlhtml/>`_ - An Excel spreadsheet (.xls) and PowerPoint (.ppt) to HTML converter
In the end, I only kept *xlhttp* as I do not use the others anymore. Surprisingly enough, only one of the packages (*chronicle*) was out of date. I disowned all the others, so if you want, you can pick them up.

Once more, off the Las Vegas for to work a trade show. This year, I was helping present training, so I was tucked away in a basement most of the trip, and did not get out to do much in the way of sight-seeing aside from walking around the hotel.
