This officially makes me a geek. But I’ve been working on this for two straight weeks.This shows the traffic graph for our two 512k WAN drops from Uganda Telecom. Before you laugh, that’s pretty darn good for Uganda. Thanks to pfsense (Beta) we’re load balancing across the interfaces. The graph astounds me right now because I’m streaming live to DEFCON (video) and we have like four customers surfing the web at the same time. We’re right at the (theoretical) limit of 512k across both interfaces. Woot for open source! =)

I’m “at” the DEFCON booth right now! We’ve got a Skype link to Uganda and I’m getting a small taste of DEFCON. Come by the booth if you see this message and say Hi… I’ll only be on until about noon… (we’re 10 hours ahead of you guys…)

I MISS DEFCON…. =(

It’s really strange seeing the con from afar.

I hear Green Sector in the background (or is it Shadowvex? I get them confused… the ambient one..) and I’m seeing the stream of attendees. I see a few familiar faces, and at least a couple of friends, but I feel like… a virtual dismembered head on a table.

More than one person has “seen” me and backed away, like… “Eww… a virtual dismembered head on a table”. Then I wave, and that really freaks them out.

This is kinda fun, actually.

Ahh… who am I kidding? This just kinda sucks.
