Internet Goodness

Move complete!

If you are see­ing this post, your DNS servers have updated and noticed that my old VPS on JaguarPC is no longer where they should look. My blog and other ran­dom shit has now been moved over to Lin­ode, where they don’t block IRC and other things I run on my box.


Evolution

Evo­lu­tion
A quick primer to send to any cre­ation­ists you may know.
Edit: Appar­ently the Youtube Word­press auto-post thing neglects to set the title.


VMware ESXi 3.5u4, Intel SATA, and local datastores

This morn­ing I rebooted my test box run­ning VMware ESXi 3.5 to com­plete the upgrade from Update 3 to Update 4. The hyper­vi­sor came back up, but no guests were run­ning and when I popped open the VI Client it indi­cated that there were no data­s­tores con­fig­ured and it could not find any of […]


Billy Corgan has the right idea, but in the wrong direction.

Accord­ing to CNET, Billy Cor­gan (of Smash­ing Pump­kins fame) went in front of Con­gress to argue against the exemp­tion that allows ter­res­trial radio broad­cast­ers to only pay song­writ­ers and pub­lish­ers, but not artists, for the right to play their music.

Goodbye ICQ, it’s been a good run

Just a few sec­onds ago I finally cleared the check­box in Adium for my ICQ account. It was my longest-lasting instant mes­sage ser­vice account, hav­ing been active since 1998 or so, and I started using multi-service IM clients like Miranda, Tril­lian, and Adium entirely because I wanted to keep using ICQ even though most […]


Blasphemy Day International 2009

PZ over at Pharyn­gula linked to this Face­book group, so I had to share. Blas­phemy Day Inter­na­tional 2009.


Minor tweak

Turned off the Twit­ter digests, those were just silly and annoying.


A few more tweaks

Fixed the pretty URLs and RSS feed (blasted mod_rewrite), added Gra­vatar sup­port, a tag cloud, and a down­load sys­tem that I may or may not ever use.


Wordpress 2.7 Upgrade Complete

The Sub­ver­sion install/upgrade method wins again, bump­ing up to 2.7 was a sin­gle com­mand while logged in as www-data on my server and then accesing wp-admin/upgrade.php


The internet is a hell of a way to pass time…

Since my par­ents are mov­ing away some time in the next few months, I went with them down to my aunt’s house for Thanks­giv­ing.  It has been a fun trip over­all, but since we drove the RV down that means in both direc­tions I have a ~9 hour span of count­ing the mile mark­ers.
For the last […]
