Semi-Annual Status Update

Paul — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:24:34 +0000

Settling down in Kernersville — just about fully unpacked from the move. Nancy and I have started the process to become a foster/adoptive parents — we’re about 3/4 of the way to being certified. Started playing with a new band, Wax Mojo. Had a chance to sit-in with old band, Snake Oil Salesmen last month at The Nines in Ithaca, NY. Still working at Unifi, Inc. keeping the Linux systems under control, updating network wireless to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley standards, testing viability of cfengine as a management tool, and working with Xen and Vmware virtualization servers. Getting this site back on track and plan to start posting articles with more regularity.

Just what do you think you’re doing, Paul?

Things are ramping up with this blog as I bring it back online. I sort of feel like Dr. Chandra bringing Hal 9000 back online — one element at a time, and as each step is completed, the system becomes more familiar and responsive.

I’m completely operational, and all my circuits are functioning perfectly. — Hal 9000

So, anyway, as I re-assemble the site, I will slowly but surely republish some of the old articles with tips and tricks that are still applicable (SSH port tunneling, for example) — and also, I’ll try to update them as well.

About this site — it used to have the title ‘Tao of Network Administration’ — since I plan to cover more than just network administration, I’ve settled on the less specific “Tao of Schuh.”

By day, I manage the network and many of the servers and linux/unix computing labs for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. Occasionally I will develop LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) applications and assist with computer and network security prevention as well as post-incident security analysis and forensics. I’ve maintained CISSP certification since 2001.

By night, I play bass guitar with the Snake Oil Salesmen; read books; compose/write music with Ableton Live, Reason, and Logic Pro; and I’m currently teaching myself (aka playing around with) the Apple Final Cut Studio suite of applications — mostly Final Cut Pro and Motion.

And finally, when its warm — I just might be out on Cayuga Lake sailing my 1974 Ranger 23 sailboat.

Here’s to the future!
