It tastes like burning

Have you ever visited the Way Back Machine? It’s a pretty neat tool. It’s basically a cached history of webpages. It’s been awhile since I checked it out last, but just for giggles I decided to search for phpmp.com and it had a couple of entries from when this site was a couple of months [...]

I just got a letter in the mail informing me that php|architect is coming to print. Up to now it’s only been available in a downloadable PDF format via subscription. While I’m not a current subscriber, I did download an issue they gave away for free. It seemed like a good resource, but I always [...]

Guess what. The server is here. Yesterday when I got home I checked tracking on my server and it showed its current location as Milwaukee. Well, I don’t live in Milwaukee so I figured it would probably be delivered on Monday. I checked it again later and noticed that in addition to it currently being [...]

Actually it arrived today. $400.00 from our government. If only the girls were born 26 days sooner it would have been a nice fat $1200.00 check. I ain’t complaining though.

I’ve been out all morning with my son playing down by our lakefront and forgot that the Blogathon was going on today. So now I’m playing catch up reading the 2 blogs I sponsored. Strokes of Genius Wizbang

Looks like the new server will be here on Monday. I received the memory from Crucial yesterday, so I’ll be ready top rock when the server shows up. I’m still undecided on which Distro to use, but I think Redhat will prevail.

The other day I stumbled across web based photo album based around php/mysql. So I decided to download it and install it and play around with it. It called Coppermine, and I must say it’s a pretty slick package. I’ve been user of gallery now for years and it’s suited my needs just fine, however [...]

I ordered a Dell poweredge yesterday. I believe it to be a pretty sweet deal. Here’s the breakdown. Dell Poweredge 400SC Intel P4, 2.8GHz,800FSB 128MB DDR, ECC, 333MHz, 1X128MBNo Operating System, Red Hat Linux Configuration 40GB 7.2K RPM IDE Hard Drive 48X CD-ROM 1Yr,Parts + Onsite Labor (Next Business Day) No Keyboard, No Mouse, No [...]

Allright, I’m up and running on the latest Redhat beta, codenamed Severn. So far so good. However I had to reload it once because the mouse wasn’t working throught the KVM on the first install. One thing that really sucks is the boot up time. I don’t know if it’s because of the new graphical [...]

What a great day. This morning we closed on our refinancing which is a whole percentage and a half lower than when we bought. Then I decided to take the rest of the day off to do some house maintenance stuff. Then of all things I read that Redhat has just released their latest beta. [...]
