River Bend Hose Specialty (RBHS) is willing to donate rent-free space in
their leased warehouse facility on Chippewa Av. RBHS has only ground
level on- and off-loading. But, RBHS has an 8000 lb. fork lift and a
manual pallet jack. They also have pallet racks so we can go 2-3 rows up
to maximize storage. The area offered is 20' x 40', lit and cool but not
cold. The downside view at the Chippewa location is: (1) The fork lift
is too large to fit in a truck or trailer, and there is no dock anyway;
(2) When quality control people are visiting the facility, we cannot
have access; and, (3) RBHS will probably move to another area of the
building in late spring or early summer so we would move with them.
Off hours access?
:: TCU Asset Disposal
For those who may have missed my post last week, the IT department at
TCU favors donating a dozen laptops, a half dozen servers, 400 desktops,
an indeterminate number of broken monitors at $15 each and a few boxes
of parts to us. I was instructed to call the TCU rep at the end of the
month to follow up. Suits higher up make the final call.
This would be sweet....
We have enough NetVista thin clients to populate the lab. They are small
and quiet -- perfect for a lab. Do we sell them? Do we use them?
Netvista the lab.... We got them, don't cost much to convert them, quit.
:: The Peripatetic FGM Web Site
Our DNS provider is DynDNS.org. The DNS has resolved to them. Goose has
a functional firewall ready and is port forwarding port 25 to a higher
port for email (Comcast blocks port 25 or disables the port in the
modem). Goose is moving config files from the Indy box and recreating
user accounts. Goose and I are nearly finished converting the web docs
from Aolserver/ADP to Apache/Rivet. We could have the whole thing ready
in a few more days, maybe even hours.
Did a nmap of the system at the house. Didn't show port 2525 as open but I
can telnet to it and the exim mail server DOES answer the connect request.
(read = firewall config is good!) I feel I'm ready on my end to transfer the
ddns to Phoenix anytime you are ready. Pop3 is showing as available.
I need to the account information for dyndns so I can tell Smoothwall to
start reporting IP addresses to it. Current ip is: 67.174.141.151
Once the move to Goose's intranet is done and tested, I'll contact the
Sally tech in Grand Rapids re opening and forwarding ports in the
church's router. Then we'll replicate the set up on the Turbine server
at the Sally and switch the dynamic DNS to point to the Sally's router.
This part should be pretty easy on SA has the ports opened. Since both
servers are Debian, it's just a matter of moving config files over.
