I have been spending time in the Gimp making graphics for my wife's web site, so I decided to make a logo for my blog. It is not fancy, just a retro tech font with a transparent background. Here's what it should look like in the header bar for thatlinuxbox.com:

irssi + dtach + Droid + ConnectBot to stay connected in IRC

My favorite IRC client is "irssi" because it only requires a shell / terminal window to run. I can leave it running on a reliable machine and logged into the IRC network for long periods of time. Staying logged into IRC allows me to catch up on recent activity in my favorite channels whether I am at home, at work, or on my Droid.
Many people use "screen" to detach from their remote SSH login sessions and re-attach from a different computer. I found that screen has some quirks with irssi and tons of features that I do not use. A simpler alternative to "screen" is "dtach".
Here is how I use dtach:

Here are the racks from the front:

I like to document things that seem to be harder to find on the Internet than expected. One such piece of information I needed the other day was the connection information for a serial console connection to an IBM pSeries server.
Step 1: Dig around in your server room storage bins until you are lucky enough to find a cable labeled "pSeries Serial" like this:
This special console cable plugs into the front of the server. I used a DB-9 serial cable of some variety to extend the cable reach.
Step 1 (alternate): Connect a DB-9 serial cable (possibly just a standard null modem cable) into the Serial 1 port on the rear of the server.
Step 2: Configure your terminal software (such as HyperTerminal on Windows) with the following settings:
