Recently I was working on a PaloAlto VPN and had to set up the Duo Authentication Proxy service. This allowed the VPN to auth as a RADIUS client, first stage being LDAP auth to a RedHat 9 FreeIPA server, and the second stage being Duo itself. This was working great, but it meant I had [ ]
Recently, [my wife] suffered an automotive breakdown while driving our 2008 Toyota Corolla CE. I was not present for this one, but sounded like a normal driving experience until she stopped at a red light. When it turned green, she pressed the gas, and very little happened other than the check engine light illuminating. She [ ]
Our baby was born recently, and needed to spend 5 days in the NICU. All was well enough, a touch of TTN and bradycardia, the latter making the attached monitor, a Nihon Kohden LifeScope, alarm just about constantly.

Moving at impressive speeds, the French TGV train got us from Lyon to Aix-en-Provence in only 1h30 with a single stop between. Arriving at our most recent destination, we found that the information desk with 4 workers was empty, providing a perfect opportunity to make our next set of travel reservations. We needed seats from [ ]
After arriving at the Colmar station, we took the train to Mulhouse station, the next stop, only a 20 minute ride. We found the track for the TGV for which we had seats reserved, and waited for it to arrive. Boarded with our bags in the dedicated area, we took our seats and began the [ ]
Since I still have a write-up of our Italian honeymoon sitting in the “Drafts” folder from 2 years ago, I thought I would take a different approach and document our latest trip as we travel. We left Newark NJ around 6pm on Oct 18th and landed with the sun still not risen in Frankfurt, Germany [ ]
