Main Page
From DuncanWiki
Hola! Over the last 7 years that I've owned this domain it's evolved from a simple image to a growing list of links to a wiki. For the last few years it's been an ever growing notepad for whatever I'm into. Since that's the case you'll probably find incomplete pages or outdated information. This site cannot be counted on as a canonical information source.

Why Is This Site So *SLOW*?
There are numerous things working against me :
- It's a Virtual Machine
- 360MB RAM (Apache, Sendmail, Spam Assassin & MySQL don't play well together with that small amount)
- No swap
- Shared hardware with probably hundreds of other people
- The I/O contention on this host is insane
There are just two things working for me :
- It's only $15/mo
- Unlimited bandwidth
Using This Website
- While this IS a wiki, it's not open to public editing
- You're going to find a bunch of unfinished pages all over this wiki that are populated by pages from my old text-only website. As time goes on everything should look cleaner, but since it's a hobby site you shouldn't really hold your breath =]
Computery Stuff
Both my personal laptop and home workstation are Macs but for everything else I'm a GNU/Linux kind of guy.
- GNU/Linux :: Articles and thoughts about GNU/Linux
- Mac OS X :: Articles and thoughts about Mac OS X on my computer
- Projects :: My various projects
- My Computers :: Computers I work with
- Virtualization :: Over the last year I've started to work more with virtual machines
VPN
I've recently had the need to run a VPN solution and went through a few different VPN suites before settling on OpenVPN.
- OpenVPN With WRT54GL :: You can have a cheap VPN solution at home!
- OpenVPN With CentOS :: You can have a MUCH more robust VPN solution at home!
Once you've set up your OpenVPN server you'll need to configure clients to connect to it.
Shameful Things
- Windows :: I pretty much can't stand it, but I have a page with a little bit of tolerance and software links
Foody Stuff
- Recipes :: I love to cook, I'm just not organized enough to do it regularly.
Entertainmenty Stuff

- Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) :: I have one of the most complete MST3K collections on the eastern seaboard
- Video Gaming :: I've been playing video for as long as I can remember
- Books :: What I'm reading, my collection, recommendations & what to avoid
- Movies :: I'm an avid consumer of almost all things on the silver & LCD screen
Toys Toys Toys Toys
- Nerf Guns :: Someone started a war at my office & I intend to lose gracefully
- Transformers :: Not the new stuff, the old stuff. PS : hey, you kids. get off my lawn.
Video Gamey Stuff
I've been a rabid gamer since 1980 when someone first placed an Atari 2600 joystick in my tiny 4 year old hands.
