So, I, uh got angry at how slow backing up my virtual machine from the NFS server was going. So, I uh, upgraded CSH-Net. A lot. The image follows…

Awesome. I’m using my laptop’s fingerprint sensor to log into my server. Fingerprint Reader –> Laptop/Linux –> VMWare browser plugin W/USB device forwarding –> Server/Linux –> VMWare/Windows.

… makes me wonder why /everyone/ isn’t doing it this way :-)

Just replaced south side of CSH with a brand-new (well, used… but new to us :-) ) Cisco 2960G gigabit network switch.
It’s all configured now to work with our aging, custom/in-house web-based IP management and tracking system.

Stay tuned for next week, during our appointment with ITS to upgrade our uplink to RIT’s network (and thus, the Internet-at-large) to gigabit speeds!
