by Vasil KolevTo blog, and to do some more work …
Today I woke up at around 14:30, and went to finish some things on the servers. Chervarium still hasn’t come back from Yambol, so the gateway will be installed later…
There was a strange problem, the ASDL bridge was grabbing the incoming port 80 connections – that was it’s command interface (the previous one (the USB variant) didn’t do that). I spoke with the people from BTK-net, and one of their support explained the situation to me (and killed all the will I had to configure such thing (not that they give us user and password :) ), the terminology there is idiotic as hell). In the end they flashed a new firmware, and it started working normally (e.g. like a real bridge/router). The support at BTK.net did a great job, all this was fixed quickly and cleanly :)
The network topology is starting to grow bigger, with 5-6 vlans (and 5 servers, one of which still isn’t installed :) ). Most of the things are cleaned up, there are only some minor things left on the control machine (to configure syslog-ng and some other small stuff), and to see when will the big software come, to be installed (which will probably be a problem on it’s own, and will create some more :) ).
After that I went to IBB, where I didn’t stay too much – it started raining (as it turned out – not for too long), and I decided to go home, and on my way to pass through the square at the Theater, where there was a projection of some concerts of Herbert fon Karajan. I managed to pull there Ylith (who hid under my umbrella, and didn’t want to get wet), and Bobson (who came by his own will :) ).
The event turned out fine, nevermind the technical problems, and the long speeches by the conductor. They played the overture to “Vihlelm Tel”, “Poltava” by I-can’t-remember-who, and Symphony no 9 by A. Dvorak. The sitting on the hard bench was well worth it :)
