About
Hello! My name is Daniel and I’m a Racker. I’m a Red Hat Certified Engineer and Linux administrator supporting many of Rackspace‘s managed hosting customers. I would imagine that I’ve probably touched a few of the servers running sites you’ve visited.
I would consider my strongest areas of expertise Apache, Postfix, and MySQL administration. I’m always looking for better and more efficient ways to do things through a deeper understanding of how things work. Since I’m not much of a programmer, that deeper understanding can be a little hard to achieve sometimes.
In doing my job and tinkering at home, I’ve come up with some handy one-liners, found or figured out some rarely used features in various software, and just learned some really cool stuff. It’s my goal to share some of that so that it might be helpful to others and to give myself a reference to look back on. I love Tomboy notes, but it can be a pain to keep them synced across multiple systems.
I hope you find something useful here. As always, criticisms and recommendations are always welcome.
Enjoy!
