Last week I picked up the Dyson DC17 “Full Kit” from Costco. We just got a new black lab, that doesn’t quite go with our cream colored carpets. The Dyson is a bit of a cult object, with everyone I know who has one telling me that it is totally life altering. I did a bit of a test, I ran my Dirt Devil across the house first and then did the Dyson afterwards. I ended up getting the Dyson after I had a hard time finding new bags for the Dirt Devil, so it was nearly full. The Dyson was totally amazing for it’s suction. The wand that comes…

Setting up an NFS Share on CentOS 5
I had the “pleasure” of setting up an NFS share today on CentOS 5 for the first time. It was actually surprisingly easy to accomplish: Configure the Server Make a folder on the sharing server that has oodles of space, I didn’t bother to setup quotas. bash# mkdir /raid5_san/shared Edit /etc/exports, insert the ip addresses of any machines that will need to access the share like this: bash# vi /etc/exports Add in: /raid5_san/shared 192.168.69.1/255.255.255.255(rw,sync) Save Edit /etc/hosts.allow bash# vi /etc/hosts.allow Add this line: portmap: 192.168.69.1/255.255.255.255 Save Start nfs and portmap bash# /etc/init.d /nfs start bash# /etc/init.d/portmap start Make sure that portmap and nfs are set to autostart.

Nespresso New Flavors: Dulsao Indriya and Rosabayo
Good news, Nespresso has released [easyazon-link asin=”B0044TG7L4″]new flavors[/easyazon-link], and you’re all excited about it. 3 new Espresso flavors Indriya from India, Rosabaya from Columbia and and Dulsao from Brasil. There are also 2 new lungos, but I don’t really dig lungo. I’ve tried the Dulsao already, not too bad, light (it has a strength of 5), I’m most looking forward to the Indriya though, I like the stronger blends. In the mean time I’ll continue enjoying Ristrettos until my wallet can justify the next order.
