I have spent several hours bringing back all my old projects, like the SAME encoder and MySpaceDP. It was tough getting the SAME encoder working since I don’t have SoX or lame at my disposal on this server. I guess that’s the price you pay for shared hosting. I found a PHP script that splices [...]
It’s been so long since I blogged last. This will be interesting.
A lot of things around me are falling apart. Common Technologies is all but gone and I’m the one tasked with making sure the hosting customers get somewhere they’re taken care of. This somewhere will probably be DreamHost for most of them. Others currently [...]
Configuring and compiling a kernel under Linux is one of the rites of passage of geekdom.
This will mark go number 3 for me, but only because I messed up last time. You see, for the past few weeks my DNS server has been bombarded for root nameserver queries in an apparent DDoS attack on ISPrime. [...]
I run this game right now. I’ll admit, it doesn’t have a large player base as of yet. At the most, we have 20 people playing and maybe four teams. If you are even remotely interested in text-based games, give this game a try.
WorldWars is an extremely old game, though the format has changed a [...]
I finally became fed up with Apache responding with just the 200 OK header and nothing else when browsing my web sites. Earlier, I built and configured Apache 2.2.9, PHP 5.2.6, and suPHP 0.6.3 from source on this server, and after several hours of tweaking, configuring, and recompiling, I think I have things just about [...]
Ever since I put DrewBurden.com online last year, it’s been hosted on a server about 2000 miles away in Irvine, California. That server has served (hah, served) us well, and thanks to new developments at work, we’re soon getting a few servers colo’d right here in Owensboro. Since I personally do not make the money [...]
I love this. He wrote this up for The Independent Geek. We’re totally going to record this.
M-m-mouse is outta wack
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T Geek, fix it fo’ me man
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T Geek, fix it fo’ me
Come to yo’ house
They wire up ya car
Tune up jobs, replace yo’ motherboard
If you ain’t got no sound, it keeps shuttin’ down
If you ain’t got [...]
 On a whim, I checked the January and February 2008 stats for apps.drewburden.com last night. I look at the January daily graph and saw this explosion of traffic hitting my tool called MySpaceDP. For three days straight I was pushing almost 2 gigs a day. This, of course, was on a site that normally pushed [...]
I’m sure some of you have heard of the hype behind Twitter, the microblogging service that asks “What are you doing?” and requires an answer in 140 characters or less. A lot of people use it, and I have a small herd of followers myself, including names like Brad “Sucks” Turcotte, Chris Doelle, Frank Gilroy, [...]
Lately I’ve been working diligently (or slaving away, whichever you want to call it) on a project called CabniQuote. It’s a thing for custom cabinet dealers to price and submit quotes online. Hence the overly creative name, CabniQuote. This morning I managed to finish a lot on the admin section. You can log in now, [...]
