Everything’s changed, well for the most part. Read the text in the image above to understand more what about. I’ll be posting here more often now, a mixture of adult stuff (because hey I’m a guy and I enjoy it so I share with readers of my blog) and tech stuff (because hey technology is sexy). Enjoy one or the other, both at the same time, or alternate for maximum pleasure. I’ll be back later, time to get some work done.
Eh, it’s 10AM and I felt like posting. A lot of HUGE changes are going to be happening around here very shortly, so stay tuned. One of the biggest changes is the fading out of the blogs hosted on the UNIX-Fu network for various reasons. One of them being I finally had some time to audit the activities going on, seems people abused their privileges. I’ve set up a 410 on most of them, removing ‘em by handfuls. 410 tells the visiting person “this content is not here anyone”. The whole network is changing, brand new face, everything. Time for me to excersize my unix-fu and kick this network back into shape like it used to be.
It’s come to my attention that some users are syndicating from other people’s feeds to create their content. This is perfectly fine! That’s what RSS was made for! However, it seems that some authors don’t agree with it. I did notice however that the users doing this DID include a link back to the originating author’s post and site. They weren’t hyperlinked, but the FULL url to the articles are being posted below it, giving the author credit. While everyone’s opinion differs (I have my posts syndicated from other blogs of mine daily and I love the extra publicity to the sites of mine they originate from), please if you’re an author of a post or posts from a blog of which a UNIX-Fu user has syndicated, contact abuse@prohosted.net and we’ll take down the offending posts for you.
Have a good one!

Heh, well it seems like a lot more people know about unix-fu and spread the word around. I must be getting 500 emails a day now asking about free blog hosting. “Do you offer it?” “Do you provide it?” The original answer was “just to friends right now”, but I’m falling back into the old unix-fu ways and the answer is “Yep, no problem just keep it clean.”. So shortly I should have a signup form for free blog hosting. Just do me a favor, nothing illegal, nothing copywritten, etc. I’ll get that up there in a bit and you can start enjoying blogging as I am. The only stipulation is the top banner ad and the bottom banner ad are kept to unix-fu to help support hosting it.
Welp, it’s been a LONG time but finally unix-fu.org is back online. Some of you might remember it as a free web hosting site, some of you may be new to the site in general. Either way, it’s here and it’s here for good this time. A little history on the old UNIX-Fu:
1. It was created in in June 2000 by me, the reason being I was tired of other free hosting companies that somehow screwed with their “clients” or stuck ridiculous banners all over the place.
2. It was a free hosting service
3. It offered up documentation which at the time was up-to-date on unix-related topics and so forth
What UNIX-Fu will be now:
1. Basically a collection of anything and everything that comes into my mind
2. Free blog hosting for some friends of mine relating to various topics
3. Tutorials, How-To’s, etc. and tips when I come across them to help system administrators out or just folks new to the UNIX environment
Now one thing I have to set straight, is that when I use the term “UNIX”, it relates to any variant or flavor. Example of a variant: BSD. Example of a flavor: linux. People have always called Linux UNIX, or anything that was even related to a similar environment UNIX. Years ago I was such a nut I’d care. These days I don’t really to be honest. Whatever works for you, works for you. The ONLY time there’s an issue really if you think about it is either if you’re holding a conversation with a UNIX zealot, or applying for a job where the interviewer actually knows what the hell they’re talking about.
I could go on and on, but I’m not going to. It’s nearly 4am and I just can’t sleep and I’m in a pretty moody state. Either way, we’re here and we’re not going anywhere. I lost touch with things when I went from tech to corp and now I’m back where I belong. I’ll be posting some random stuff here which may or may not be related to technology, but for the most part it will. I’m also an avid poker player, car nut and various other hobbies. Enjoy your time here, and thanks for visiting. See ya soon.
