Well, we had Progressive for a number of years now and I figured I would try out the Snapshot program. I received the device in the mail, and checked for connectivity via the progressive site.
We drive around 400 miles a week, but its all highway. So hopefully we don’t have hard stops since its a constant flow of traffic (hopefully).
Also, we mainly drive during the medium risk in the morning (around 9am), and no risk when we come home.
I will post more details in around a week or so when I get my first overview.
Well, as soon as Ubuntu 12 LTS came out – I knew I would have to upgrade from 10.04 LTS. I tried from ssh, and since I did this before without any issues, I figured I would do it again. However, I ran into issues.
For one, my /boot was filled up with older kernel images so I could not install the upgraded kernel. My mistake for not keeping on top of this, but it should of auto deleted the older ones.
Secondly, the SSH connection dropped – which means I could not see what was being prompted to me. I managed to do a reconfigure on the packages that need to be configured, and I was all set to go.
But in the end, I started fresh with a new install just in case other things went wrong in the configuration.
Luckily this is a VM, so I could make snapshots and not worry about recovery and etc

I know I haven’t been blogging much, but between work and my family I don’t have that much time to update as often as I like. Hopefully 2012 will be different and I will update more often
Anyway, time for Christmas and I hope Santa brings what you wanted this year
