part, the first… i updated the theme i was using to the latest version.  the background handling is a little more stable, and it doesn’t default to a white background because i deleted the ones it came with anymore.   in the process the stuff on the side bar got reorganized a bit. part, the second […]

i don’t know if this is specifically a gen X thing (or gen Y, or whateverthefuck us 20-somethings are considered), or if this is a phenomenon that predates our generation… i’ve noticed that there’s a period of time that almost everyone i know who’s my age has experienced.  After college (or whatever they did instead […]

last night and this morning i’ve been messing with apache and tweaking the generic error pages to customize them for jazzsequence.com. go ahead, try to pull a page not found…(here, i’ll help. also, you can get an access forbidden page here.)

so, jazzs3quence, how did you spend your weekend? much of it was spent restoring the data from the backup to the server. it seems the reason why it restored so quickly the first time was because it didn’t, actually. when stuff was missing, i noticed a lot of input/output errors trying to access my mounted […]

ssh – check ftp – check forums – check (no upgrade to phpbb3-RC1, however…apparently they don’t have an upgrade script from a previous beta release…and i tried just dumping the new files on top of the old ones and got a sql error…then again, there were other things going on so i might try that […]

ssh – check (was actually easier than i expected…) ftp – needs help. installed vsftpd, but i’m missing something, possibly need to assign users to the ftp group or something. looking at pureftpd right now, bc it seems easier to set up. with ssh set up, though, i can do this stuff remotely as opposed […]

woooo!!! there were some permissions issues with the database, and some more permissions stuff that i need to fix later, but the server is back up and the website is fully functional again. tonight i’m going to upgrade to feisty and then the real work begins. i still need to fix: chmod permissions for www […]

bjork – volta it’s been growing on me, but it’s still not as listenable as i hoped. for me, bjork peaked around homogenic/selmasongs. there were two more albums (vespertine and medulla) which were pretty good, but not bjork’s best. then she did the soundtrack to drawing restraint. now i never saw the movie, and i’ve […]

nine inch nails – year zero i was frustrated by not getting this, like, the day after i ordered it from the lala store powered by newbury comics. however, i’ve been listening to it a lot since it did arrive, and i haven’t gotten tired of it yet. could be it’s because i still like […]

i typed up a couple more recipes today.  they still need to be tweaked to be fully egg/dairy-free, but they can be found in their unabridged state, atm.  also, i found a printer-friendly view plugin, which i’m pretty happy with.

*argh* (advisory: explicit geeking)– admitedly by the time i write this, i’ve lost most of my thunder on this particular subject….HOWEVER….i had a server down at work for 9 hours. the server was a win2k3 server that wasn’t pulling an ip address from dhcp, which is hosted on the unix server. the dmesg log on […]

i put up a new page for all of our recipes. my idea is that we have one central place for everything (since we have a lot of random sheets of paper with printed recipes from various websites/blogs). the first step being putting up all the GF recipes we’ve acquired and/or tweaked so a) we […]
