<p>So, I had a bit of time over the weekend, and spent it doing a bit of hacking around.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I had re-installed <a href="http://www.pcbsd.org">PC-BSD</a> on my HP EliteBook R810. I used 10.0.2, and everything but the wireless looked good. I decided to try to get the wireless working with the internal WNIC. <a href="http://www.duckland.org/2014/04/freebsd-challenge,-day-17">Previously</a>, I used an external dongle to get WiFi working, but it was a pain to remember to pull it out, so I decided to try again.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I updated the base OS to 10-CURRENT, and then 'patched' the source tree using the info I found <a href="https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=35467">in this forum post</a>. Once I rebooted, and used the PC-BSD tools to enable the device, things worked! Since this was only last night, I need to test it a bit to make sure it stands up to load.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a <a href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169433">PR</a>, and support <strong>has</strong> been added to HEAD. I am going try to write a patch to get this added before then. I will need to see if I can figure out how to do that. :)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Since my work laptop uses the same WNIC, I am one step closer to being able to install it on the work machine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am going to see about trying to use <strong><em>dragon</em></strong> as my non-work daily driver and shake out what I need to do, so I may be restarting the <a href="http://www.duckland.org/tag/30DayChallenge">30 Day Challenge</a> again, but a lot of that depends on how work goes.</p>

I am back from Las Vegas for a trade show for work. The hardest part was two and a half days of setting up an isolated network for some hands on training.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The training went very well, and I got some good feedback from the students. By the last session, all the kinks were worked out of the training, and the students were able to explore a bit more than planned, but that was okay.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>The major downside is that I did not have much time but one day for a quick walk around where I was staying at The Venetian to take some photos. It is a shame, as there are lots of really cool visuals around the strip and in the area of Las Vegas. Maybe next time.</p>

So, in 2013, I went to China twice, Tokyo, Las Vegas, London twice, and Barcelona. This was enough to get me some serious air miles. I decided to turn them into something to help me get back into photography, so I got <a href="http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/digitalcameras/omd/e-m5.html" title="Olympus E-M5">Olympus OM-D E-M5</a>. This is one of the latest in the line of Olympus DSLR. This one is a micros 4/3, with a built-in Electronic View Finder (EVF).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It showed up yesterday, and I have not had much of a chance to take it through its paces. I hope to have some time this weekend, but I have a major work project which might interfere.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Keep an eye out for some photos as I get a chance to try it out.</p>

The reason I was busy at work is that I was getting ready for two different trips to conduct three different training courses.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Last week I was down in Mexico City to present some training to folks from Latin and Central America on one of our new products. Next month, I head off to Lost Wages, er, Las Vegas, for our major conference and two different training courses, while supporting a third.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That, and the fact the two oldest kids are in swim team right now, free time has drop to null.</p>

<p>Well,
|
|
Something broke on the main computer. The speed when trying to run
|
|
a few terminal apps, firefox, and thunderbird at the same time was
|
|
appalling. I never had that sort of performance issues under
|
|
ArchLinix on the same kit. I would love to take the time to debug it,
|
|
but I am almost four weeks behind in dealing with my photos, including
|
|
those from my trip to England, and I am getting ready to do run some
|
|
training courses for work which will suck up all my free time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am re-installing Arch on the two laptops. I should have restored
|
|
working configs in a day or two, and then I can start working on my
|
|
backlog of photo and other projects.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Also, since my laptops are not supported under 10-RELEASE, I want to
|
|
wait until 10.1 to see if my WLAN NICs are supported.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I still need to rebuild my server which has a failing drive (backed up
|
|
the data already, just need time). I may go ahead and put 10-RELEASE
|
|
on it since the NICs are fully supported.</p>
