Today I moved some personal equipment into my workspace. Things will be going slowly until next Monday (May 4) due to a midterm project for my Game Programming class.

Setting up the Sanctuary

Today I prepared the work area for the project. I installed the new NetBSD 5.0 on my x86 server machine as well as procured a couple of SPARC machines for use in testing.

In addition, I updated the project's official site, found here.

In the next couple of weeks I will be preparing by hand a PXE installation tree for NetBSD 5.0 in order to learn more about the inner workings of Dr. Nelson's current system.

Hello and Welcome!

First and foremost, I would like to express my excitement at having been selected to work with Google, NetBSD, and Dr. Philip Nelson. I feel extremely honored to have been given this opportunity. This blog will follow major project events for those interested in its completion.

I am jumping in without hesitation, and will be reading documentation so as to further familiarize myself with PXE Booting, dhcpd, NetBSD, and Dr. Nelson's existing system during the next few weeks. Below please find some links that contain information about the project and myself:
