nanoblogger, markdown, ron & proxmox

Weekend fun: learned how to use this nanoblogger software.

Some test entries to learn both nb usage and, later, entries written with markdown. (The latter had been recommended to me by christian lindig ages ago, so it must be good. Indeed it is. I could use it right away on Monday for turning ascii conference abstracts into extended descriptions for the general audience.)

Installed ProxmoxVE 3.1 on new marshlabs host ron. This may or may not become a common marshlabs-cluster along with host satch. As of now, neither box is running 24/7, and satch (on an eSATA disk) more often runs as fred (DragonFlyBSD on internal disk).

Lot's of reading about proxmox basics. Slowly finding my ways around the proxmox documentation. I found that to be seriously disorganized at first, but the actual entries are written quite well. Then again: automatically generated, alphabetic keyword listings are be no means a useful substitute for nice, guiding Tables of Contents, guys! You new-fangled wiki schmucks...

I do need VMs here, fast. For further OSes in the queue, and precious shelfspace to reclaim.
