Site Update

I have finally had some time to update my site to a new look and migrate some of the old content to it. Hopefully will get some more time to add stuff. Read more below...

And lest I forget, I have a retired machine that is going to be the new webserver as soon as I reconfigure the drives. It is a dual dual-core Opteron, the first generation one (even build with AMD Engineering Sample chips, not production -- got these in the bay area) but is built like a tank with a great CoolerMaster 550w power supply, Lian-Li case, etc. It was my audio/video workstation but I replaced it with a wonder box -- a small form factor Shuttle, the SX38P2 with a single Q6600 quad core chip, a Radeon 3870HD single width board, and a Blu-ray writer. This beats the old machine and is small form factor to boot. I'm not sure who to give a workstation class older opteron machine with 8GB of RAM to, so it becomes a Fedora or CentOS server box. I haven't decided which yet. I'm leaning towards Fedora since it has more recent updates.
