Welcome to my blog.

I’m Matt Ryanczak, a sysadmin living in the Washington D.C. metro area. I maintain this site as a hobby and an opportunity to share knowledge and fun stuff with others (and myself so I don’t forget the details!). I work for ARIN where I am the Network Operations Manager. I’m a big computer and networking geek. I’m also into hacking electronics and just about any type of science and technology. Linux is my OS of choice though I also think very highly of OpenBSD, FreeBSD and OS/X. I’m one of the few (I think) people that run Linux on a Macbook most of the time. OS/X is for jail breaking my iphone

This site is running on a custom built server running CentOS Linux. The server is located in Fairfax Virginia, USA, at a datacenter run by the Northern Virginia Internet Access Cooperative. IPv4 transit is via Cox Communications and IPv6 transit is provided by Hurricane Electric via their tunnelbroker service.
