Busy with LinuxWorld

Posted on January 11, 2006 by D-Caf

Well, I’ve been very busy the last couple of months. I was asked to be the Security Track Chair for LinuxWorld Boston 2006! You can check the conference out here: LinuxWorld
It’s been an interesting challenge getting speakers and trying to make the Security Track as diverse and interesting as I would like. It’s not perfect, but I think it’s a good show.

Muirna, dog of the house

Posted on January 10, 2006 by D-Caf

Here is a photo of Muirna, our dog. We have had her just over a year now. She joined us September 2004 from a Keeshond rescue organization. She’s about 5-6 years old now. We spoil her terribly. Here she is laying in one of her two beds (she’s usually laying in one of our couches, but this was the only thing her height in the room we were in).

LOL, I just took a poll that a friend posted and here are the results:

Arty Kid

Whether you were a drama freak or an emo poet, you definitely were expressive and unique.You’re probably a little less weird these days – but even more talented!

Who Were You In High School?

Now that’s funny given I was a computer geek in school. Oh, and my friend? She her result was Brainy Kid, and guess what, she was an Artist in school! LOL

Posted on December 30, 2005 by D-Caf

Ok, this is going to be my new website. I plan on adding a lot (finally). I’ve choosen WordPress because it looks like it will be a nice clean simple way to keep my site updated. I’m not that interested in being a “Blogger”, but I do have some information I want to get up in a nice organized manner. So here goes…

The Palm Treo 650 Rocks!

Posted on December 29, 2005 by D-Caf

Ok, I figured I’d post this since I need some content, but I love my Treo 650. At some point I’ll add more information on what I’ve done with it (like syncing with linux and such), but for now, let’s just say it’s very cool.

Oh, here’s a good site for support and information on them:

West Virginia High Point

Posted on January 3, 2004 by D-Caf

In January of 2004, we finally got around to hitting our second high point. For this trip, we went to West Virginia’s Spruce Knob. It was a little on the snowy side which made it an interesting and beautiful drive. Having a 4×4 helped, we passed a bmw that was being dragged up the side of a mountain from where it had slid off the road. The driver was fine, but the car had seen better days, he had managed to jump out before it slid off. Once we were at the top it was a spectacular view, but VERY windy. Here’s a shot of the view:

Maryland High Point

Posted on December 14, 2002 by D-Caf

In December 2002, my wife and I started our HighPoint trips with the Highest Point in Maryland, Blackbone Mountain. It was a little bit of a hike, but not much (maybe a mile total). The hardest part was just finding the turn off to the logging road you park on to hike from. Don’t have too many pictures, but here is one of the sign:
