Sunday: Mind blown! Managed to pull off the maiden flight of Project X, or Rocket X. Rocket X carried Spacecraft X equipped with an FPV camera, TX and battery. I had awesome help from my lovely wife. 4 cameras to juggle, an FPV station to set up. A rocket to launch. This was a big production for two people. We got it done in one take. In and out in 39 minutes. Video to be release soon.

DHCP Failover and Make the Hot Spare the Active Server. My DHCP Failover Lab video was well received. But then they asked what would happen if the active DHCP server failed permanently? How to make the hot spare into the active server and give it another hot spare? I didn't see any ready answers. But I forged ahead anyway. There are a couple of plot twists and a few surprises. But in the end it all works out. https://youtu.be/GRMv_R4L_SI #DHCPFailover #HotSpare #Active

Halloween to Remember

I spent all Halloween day popping up ceiling tiles in an old building that was built in the 70's. (This is back in the early Noughties). I was pulling network cable from another part of the building. All these creepy black spiders kept falling down on me from inside the ceiling. Then at the end of the day, I went out to the parking lot to have a smoke. (I have since quit smoking, no need to shame me). It was already dark out and I was pondering the irony of a power plant not having lights in the parking lot. Then I noticed the turbine team from Mitsubishi standing there smoking beside me. Japanese gentlemen with white lab coats, hard hats and goggles. As the last dim light from the setting Sun faded over the already spooky scene that is the Salton Sea, I got a chill. Would one of these Mitsubishi folks suddenly point to something in the distance and shriek "Godzilla". Cue the Blue Oyster Cult song from the Seventies and you have a Halloween to remember.
