I’m in the Show Notes (Geek Alert) 2

Last week, Todd asked his listeners to tell him how many computers they have.

I sent him this email:

Subject: How many machines do I have in my home?

I have seven.

Actually, I’m quite proud of my little home network:

Webserver (White Box P3 1000 running Slackware 10.1)–it used to be the family computer (surplussed from my previous employer).

File server (IBM PC 300 running Slackware 12.0)–it used to be the webserver. (Gift from someone shutting down a business rebuilding and reselling computers surplussed by a nearby university–he would buy them for $5 and resell them for $50).

My laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000 running Slackware 12.0)–this is my primary machine (bought new from Dell almost four years ago).

Family computer (Dell P4 desktop running WinXP) (this one I actually bought, second hand, from a local shop).

Son’s laptop (Dell Dimension Centrino running XP) (second hand from the
same shop).

SOSO’s computer (Dell Inspiron running XP) (wireless).

My work computer (belongs to my employer) (Acer laptop running XP)
(wireless).

Oh, yeah, and there’s also an XBox on the network.

There is a diagram of my network here:

I haven’t listened to today’s show yet, but I made it into the show notes.
