Get A Life

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Must make an effort to do something noteworthy soon. There are many little things that I’m addressing in my day to day, but nothing worth blogging about.

The model for Think New Orleans. Three concepts.

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

I’d like to keep all of my project specific shell scripts under version control. I usually write them in place, and forget they exist.
My first pass at this, was to include an install script, which was no fun. It was a complicated. It added a step that wasn’t there before.

Apache Rig

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

A journal about installing a meaningful Apache.
The blackbox format article at ONLAMP went onto my todo list. It is a well written article, but knowing nothing about Apache, or web traffic, I wondered why it didn’t appear to be referenced. What were these log files that my server keeps rotating good for? The author made […]
