Adding a static arp to Windows Server 2012
For some reason, my windows server wouldn’t talk to one of my network devices. It would talk to all the others, but not this one. I tried changing the ip address of the device, and even swapped it out for a similar device of a different model and manufacturer. Still no dice. When I looked closer, I saw that the ip address of the device wasn’t in the arp table on the windows server, so I tried to manually add it.
arp -s IP.Address Mac.Address
right?
Error message, you don’t have sufficient privileges.
Ok, so let’s try this in CMD as Administrator
Error message, permission denied.
A quick google search, and I found that I need to use netsh instead.
netsh interface ip add neighbors "Network card name here" "Gateway.IP.goes.here" "MAC-address-of-gateway-with-dash-here"
bam! Ping and network connectivity fixed. The WHY of this happening is still a mystery however.

Whee! I crashed my nas.
On one side, it kind of sucks. On the other side – it gives me an excuse to move from 2tb drives to 4tb drives.
Mail servers and webservers recreated, but SQL is backed up – so no real data lost. Stuff may look ugly for a while.

Introspective, Social economy theory, and politics
So tonight, I had a little quiet manual labor, and with that came a little philosophy.
I was assembling a new grill, and it had been beat up pretty bad in the process of delivery or handling either on the way, or while in my local store. I had to take pliers to it, reshape it back to it’s original configuration before it would fit together according to the instructions.
I was thinking about this particular big box store, and how it had once been one of the dominant forces in consumer goods, and was now just kind of a shell of it’s former self.
That reminded me that I’d seen one of my old coworkers on LinkedIn list working at that particular store in his online resume.

Why are Christians so concerned with sex?
http://thesinfulscientist.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/why-are-christians-so-concerned-about-sex/
tldr: what if the concepts were really about changing an institutionalized system of forced prostitution and not about trying to control what happens among consulting adults?
