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 [...]
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 [...]
My lack of sleep over the past two days caught up with me today. I passed out for a good 12 hours or so and was finally up at about 4:15 this afternoon. It’s like embedding a basketball into a wall, attaching it to your head via bungee cord, and then walking away from the [...]
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 [...]
I’m a Linux user. I had to hijack a Windows computer to upgrade my iPod touch to version 2.0 this weekend. And now I’m curious about MobileMe, but that didn’t last long. Wanna know why? What gives, Apple? You could make a lot more money (and friends) if you just supported Linux. I mean, come [...]
CIMG0806, originally uploaded by nedrubwerd. I apologize for writing so much about this. It seems like it’s so unimportant to other people but right now it’s the only thing going on. It’ll eventually stop. So to follow up, I looked at how hard it would be to implement virtual email hosting on this server. It’s [...]
My web site was the latest in a string to find its way to vafo2240.indgeek.net, a 2U rackmount server sitting on a table on the first floor of the Loch Raven Building. Since I’m too poor (and/or lazy) to have a Web-based control panel on this server, all the VirtualHost nodes and zone files are [...]
