The Gist of Things

I spend a large amount of time sitting in front of my computers. They are part of my work, part of my education, and part of everything else. These are the machines I have and what I have planned for them. Pictures coming eventually. Aside from this list there is also shifty.ithought.org, a Cisco 3660 switch, and pushy.ithought.org, a Cisco 2620 router at my house, and switchy.ithought.org, a 16 Port layer-3 managed GigE switch in my colo.

zion.ithought.org (March 2003) - DEAD

This is a desktop machine that was given to me by one of my residents (thanks 14!) when I was a Peer Leader at Georgia Tech. It brought me into the world of Linux in the summer of 2003 with my first installation of Gentoo. It was a desktop for a while, and then became a file/web server when I moved into "The Lair" in 2003. It had it's share of hardware problems recently, so everything was transitioned over to stitch. It then had some time as a Visual Studio test box, and while setting it up for part of the Faster Mustache 24 hour race tracking system, the motherboard died.

mercury.ithought.org (March 2001) - DEAD

The computer I had and used actively for the longest, It has run OS 9, Gentoo, and all versions of OSX. It got a 330$ repair job to make the speakers work again, the display work again, and eliminate the random turning off problem. Apple took care of it and I dragged this around with me pretty much wherever I went. I had it since they came out in early 2001 and it should have lasted for years to come but a SUV ran into me when I was biking home one day and it got pretty much destroyed. Doh.
