See you there!
We met at OmniTI again this month. Thank you, OmniTI!
I gave a talk [slides] about my recent migration for my mail/web server from i386 to amd64. I also discussed how I installed a ral(4) card in my Soekris to make it a wireless access point. Unfortunately, I think the card overheated my Soekris and crashed my firewall more than once. I have since removed the card.
Equipment:
After the meeting, we adjourned to Victoria Gastro Pub for dinner and libations.

We're moving to Thursdays!
This month, we're meeting (today) Thursday, September 24 (6:30 PM EDT) at OmniTI's Columbia Office ([Google Maps]).
I will be giving a talk summarizing my recent experience migrating from my i386-based Mac Mini to my amd64-based PowerEdge 840 for erdelynet.com/capbug.org/metabug.org's mail & web.
Edit: I'll also be showing some pictures of my recent attempt to make my Soekris into a WAP.

We met again at OmniTI (thank you for hosting us).
I (Mike Erdely) gave a short talk about using Bacula's encryption mechanisms to store data encrypted on the storage media. Devon O'Dell gave an informal but very interesting talk about the differences between pre-emptive and co-operatively scheduled threading. Then, Jason Dixon introduced us to his new creation: Blogsum. Keep a look out for capbug.org to be using it in the near future. Finally, I gave another short talk describing my experiences with turning off greylisting in OpenBSD's spamd(8).
After the awesome talks, we adjourned to Victoria Gastro Pub for some food and drink. A good time was had by all.
