Jon's Notes

So, I recently acquired a Netscreen 5XT—the smallest firewall available from Juniper.
Since I purchased it through eBay, Juniper will not let me purchase a support contract for it unless I first pay a warranty reinstatement fee. This reinstatement fee is equal to one year of support.

It turns out that the 5XT, one year of support, and the support reinstatement fee combined still costs less than a PIX 506e without support.

Now if I can just figure out why my VPN is not working…

I love my keyboard I love my keyboard. It is sturdy, clicky, and full of history.

Sometimes when I really get into coding, my roommate asks what I'm doing. He can hear my keyboard through the door.

Once upon a time it was the keyboard on a SP in a Hitachi Trinium Mainframe. A one inch grey square covers up the IBM logo.

My keyboard is a IBM 42H1292 from Greenock Scotland.
