And thus my reign (heh) as sys admin ends after over 4 years of keeping enrogue running at my home. I’m hoping a lot of people benefited from it all, and it was all good fun. The reason I chose to stop is not because it got boring (although hardware needed replacing) but moreso because I won’t be able to maintain things once I move to another country.

    *waves sadly* I assume you’ll keep it in storage somewhere, though?

    The computer is being donated to a very poor fellow in need of an upgrade (enrogue is what I used myself a year ago, more or less, so it’s not “crap”, just needs some lovin’). Enrogue itself lives on but I’m not sysadmining it anymore — dreamhost is. :)

    (Do you get email notifications for replies btw? I haven’t gotten threaded working yet so I’m not sure how it all works out.)

    That sounds positive! Yes, I got the email notification. :)

    Glad to hear it :)
