UNIX-Fu is alive again…well sorta
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.
