I just got done with my first week as an apprentice. I've learned a bunch, already got my share of rough jobs, and got to work in some ridiculously expensive homes. To top the week off, my contractor really, really likes me and might be able to swing my residential apprenticeship into an inside wireman apprenticeship. This means working on homes as well as commercial spaces. That, and after the apprenticeship is done a journeyman wage of $39/hr + benefits compared to $28/hr + benefits I'll be getting when I'm done as a residential apprentice.

Meh, those are generic copy and paste messages, it usually makes it sound worse than it is. Basically, it's going to rain a lot. :biggrin: There might be some lightning.

Speaking of lighting, it hit a transformer here the other day and the oil spilled into the river, they had to shut the intake of the water filtration plant till they clean it up. :eek: Probably PCBs and crap too. I just hope they did a good job to clean that up.

Finally got the firewall to boot! Time to load the config and do a swap!

I do lose out on ethernet ports though, the old one has 4, this one has 2. That's ok though, I'm just going to make the LAN port a trunk port and use vlans, the way I should have done it from the get go. For now my wifi wont work till I fix this. First I need to ensure the config loaded properly then I can do the physical swap. Old server out, old rails out, new rails in, new server in. Going from a Pentium 3 to a Core2duo. The pentium 3 with pfsense 2.x could not even saturate my DSL, and since I'll be getting fibre soon it's kinda important to upgrade this box. :p

Yay running off new firewall now. Went from Pentium 3 to a core2duo, quite the upgrade.

Also decided to make the LAN port a trunking port, and ditch the secondary LAN interface for the wifi and do vlans instead for simplicity. This is pretty sweet so far. Did not rack the new firewall yet, I'll run it aside for a bit till I can confirm all is good, then do the physical swap.

At one point I accidentally plugged the LAN side to the DSL modem. I wonder how many help desk calls that generated. "Why am I getting a 10.1.1.x address?"
