So I swapped which card was eth0 and which was eth1, and I did it on the low level (module level) instead of the script level. Now after a painful reboot, we have 100BT on the internal interface where it might someday matter, and 10BT on the external interface where it never will. Next: see if we can run the DHCP server now.

Oh yeah, dinner.

Today is my second attempt at making Arrogant Bastard. Last attempt was reasonably successful but flawed due to my dumping in about 500g of dextrose as priming sugar, which added about 7 atm CO₂ to the finished beer, so it was horrifically over-carbonated. But good, though.

This time, I'm using a weird yeast (Wyeast 1028 London) which smells very fruity. I'm not sure whether to supplement it with the 15g Dry English Ale yeast I have left over from a kit...

UPDATE: The 1028 seemed pretty fruity, but I looked up the yeast I used last time (1098), and Wyeast claims it's fruitier. So I guess it should be fine. The LCD thermometer on my primary looks like it's failing.

Frenetic burst of activity last night: set up MovableType, which necessitated installing Apache, installing some new perl modules, and general fiddling. Now using MovableType as a bad diary.

Almost done recompiling the kernel so we can maybe use the CD-RW for backups, and so we can run a DHCP server. DSL is here but we're not using it yet.
