rdate -s nist1-ny.WiTime.net
/sbin/hwclock –systohc

My name is Ian Dunn and I'm a web developer for mPango Development Studios in Dayton, Ohio. I started this blog to document solutions/tips/tricks that I may need again in the future. Hopefully it'll also be useful to other people who are searching for the same information.

I'm currently looking to relocate to the Seattle area, so let me know if you're looking for a PHP/MySQL developer or network technician.
