We were talking about it at work, then Dhaval sent it to everyone. Maybe it’s a sign.

I yanked the old wa2npp webserver today. It didn’t take too long to get a bash prompt on the box, so I could get configuration info.
The computer formally known as thyme will be replacing it (which is a much beefier machine), hopefully by the end of the weekend.
Once again, if you would like to join and help out the club, email me!
The Colbert Report explains the whole Cingular changing it’s name thing.
As a Cingular customer and a phone enthusiast, just thought I’d share, since it looks like Ma Bell is coming back.
So I emailed Brian Boccardi, and he said that we’d need at least eight people in order to get the ham radio club back together (and evict whoever is in our room now (we do need a specific room in the Rutgers Student Center)). If you’d be interesting in joining or helping out, email me.
In the mean time, thyme has be reassigned to the new position as the wa2npp web server. This will replace the current server which is a broke 486. I’d hope to get it replaced by the weekend and have something up.
Video of the Colbert Report on the iPhone. Just found the reference to FORTRAN 77 funny.

Thanks to smed on #ruslug (freenode), I have a new Sparcstation 5. It’s the 110 Mhz variant, complete with 64 MB of RAM and a 2.1 GB hard disk. What really suprised me about this machine is that it has the AFX card that no one seems to have ever seen (the AFX port only existed on the SS5 and it’s rare to find a AFX card). I previously had another SS5 and a Ultra 2, so I had a fair amount of SBUS cards to fill the other two slots.
I know I have a 4 GB disk somewhere around, going to try to find that and install an OS on the machine.
Update: I tried Solaris 7 and it was dog slow getting it installed. I fell back to good old SunOS 4.1.4 to see if the machine is working (the machine originally would have had 4.1.3_U1B).
I want to see if the Rutgers Ham Radio Club (WA2NPP) can be revived. It’s been inactive for a couple years now, and it’s room in the Rutgers Student Center has been taken away, which is pretty sad (luckily the antennas are still up). I want to contact Brian Boccardi in a few days to see if there is anything I can do to help to club get back together. If you’d like to help, or want any updates, feel free to email me.
