<p>Wow...missed November by that much. It was a good month, but busy with the start of the holidays and all.</p>
<p>A bit of work in the background on some projects, but nothing to show for it. Still a new picture daily over at my <a href="http://www.donaldharper.com/">photo blog</a>, so go check it out.</p>

<p>Well, October is almost over already. Time flies. This fall has been very busy with non-work things. Kids in sports (with me being the coach for one of them), kids doing scouts, kids doing Y Adventure program (with me in the leadership), kids in advance classes at school.</p>
<p>Free time, how I miss you.</p>

<p>So, even though I have been starting to <a href="http://www.duckland.org/2014/06/back-to-freebsd-maybe-back-to-the-challenge">work with</a> <a href="http://www.duckland.org/2014/07/freebsd-switch">FreeBSD</a> <a href="http://www.duckland.org/2014/08/one-step-closer">again</a>, I am still running <a href="http://www.archlinux.org/">ArchLinux</a> on my workstation.</p>
<p>And I wanted to run a script I wrote a long time ago to support a <a href="http://www.donaldharper.com/">website</a> of mine, which I have not updated in a while. The way I would update the site is by doing some batch editing of photos, park them in a directory, and then run my script which pushes the photos to the web server, and then interfaces with the CMS software to schedule the posts and all is good.</p>
<p>Except the script is in perl, and it uses some modules which are not main-stream. While perl has the awesome <strong>cpan(1perl)</strong> command to fetch and install perl modules, I wanted it to be tied into <strong>pacman(8)</strong> . A quick trip to the <a href="http://aur.archlinux.org/">AUR</a> turned up the tools <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-cpanplus-dist-arch-git/">cpan2aur</a> and <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pkgbuild-introspection-git/">mkaurball</a> which made it pretty easy to package up and post the the AUR the 9 perl modules I needed to get my script going and keep track of things with pacman.</p>
<p>Yeah!</p>

<p>So, I have upgraded my servers at the house to FreeBSD, and have set up the basic functions needed on them. So, now, I am down to only my main laptop running Linux. Oh, and the work machine which runs Windows 8.1.</p>
<p>So far, not much different than running Arch for the server. But, the magic will be when I start working with jails...</p>

<p>I just noticed I have not updated this in a few weeks. Sorry about that.</p>
<p>I have my R810 running PCBSD 10.0.2, and I just patched and configured WiFi on it. I need to figure out how to submit a patch to see if I can get the Centrino supported in the main-line kernel so I do not have to compile a custom kernel just for that.</p>
<p>I almost have this working where I can switch to it full time. I need to deal with getting my <strong>killer</strong> apps installed and working. I had most (all?) of them working before, so I know I can do it again.</p>
<p>Currently, FireFox is not working for me for some reason, but Chromium is, so I will use that for now.</p>
<p>I have started a wiki to keep some notes for myself on this (what SA has not done that?), so I hope this process will be easier this time.</p>
<p>peace.</p>
