I do mostly backend dev, plus Ops. Tools no bar as long as it solves problem. Nothing brings me more joy than visiting a new place or doing something new or breaking a fear. I also like to help people find new places/things to explore. If you are in a community that values that, sign me up.

…Setup Bridged Network inside VirtualBox on Debian/Ubuntu
I cannot stay away from Terminal. :| So I was setting up a debian box inside my Windows installation. I downloaded a net installation image of Debian 6.0.3 (debian-6.0.3-i386-netinst.iso) and booted into it in VirtualBox. Well, while installing it, VB was in NAT mode and I didn’t notice that.

So I opened the network configuration of VB, changed it to Bridged Adapter mode, selected by adapter, hit Ok, then restarted the network service in the box and tried to ping google. But got error. The network wasn’t working.
