OpenBSDI just completed the upgrade to OpenBSD 3.9 for my erdelynet.com web and mail server. Besides the obvious OpenBSD 3.9 upgrade goodness, many of the applications and servers that I run were upgraded with it.

It’s amazing that with each upgrade/re-install I do, how much easier it gets. But, I still run into problems along the way.

I’m planning to upgrade my server this evening. So, I’ll be down tonight for a little while.


Pearl JamYes, yes, yes. All of my posts so far in the music category have been about Pearl Jam. And I know that most people that know me think that Pearl Jam is the only music I listen to. But that’s not true. Just to get it out there, I listen to The White Stripes, Green Day (American Idiot - Best Album Ever?), Dave Matthews Band (heard their “All Along the Watchtower”) and yes, I’m slightly embarrassed to say, Kelly Clarkson. You can even add some old school hip-hop (Ice Cube & 2Pac) in there.

But tonight…

OpenBSD 3.9I’m working on upgrading some of my boxes to OpenBSD 3.9. As I’ve mentioned before, using mergemaster is a great way to upgrade your machines. Especially with the new “pkg_add -u” (you should probably run pkg_add -ui to interactively deal with issues, such as multiple versions to choose from), mergemaster makes it even easier to avoid complete re-installs.

After upgrading to OpenBSD 3.9, run “pkg_add -r mergemaster”.

Life WastedOnce again, Pearl Jam is proving to be the best band ever! They’ve released their newest video, Life Wasted at Google Video for FREE (until May 24, 2006) under the Creative Commons License.

NB: This video is no longer available, but I’m sure you can find it if you try.
