Looking to get my Linux NUC fully configured before Monday. I’ve got samba, RDP and VNC installed but not set up. I need to get at least one remote desktop protocol working for me and SSH set up with keys deployed.

I’ve started playing with MongoDB in C#. Much more to do there…need to pick a machine to host the server, get the server configured with a password and then start experimenting. The book I have uses Ruby as the language to drive MongoDB from. I’m currently working in C# and so I expect to start there.

Pulling together things for our upcoming short vacation at Disney with our Daughter. Lots of CF cards to be archived and cleared before we leave. I continued to be surprised by the performance gap between CF and SD cards.

I have my new PFSense based router loaded with its OS but not configured. Not sure that is going to make it this weekend. Hoping to get it in place relatively soon though. The existing router doesn’t seem to deal with the streaming we’re doing all that well and I expect the performance of the Core-i5 base machine that’s running this one to be vastly better.

My Functional C# book is here finally (took weeks and I’m spoiled by Amazon prime’s two day delivery). Reading through it at the moment. There are some interesting techniques in there, but I’m still not sold on full functional as a model for building real systems. Once I finish reading though it I’ll reflect some more.
