Model train show
Today was a miserable day weather-wise but had one good thing going for it. The next town over had a model train show and the highlight was a N gauge train layout. It was a fun display and I took almost 300 photos. I shared 40 of them over here on Flickr. I also learned [...]
I know it’s Karl Rove, but geez
Some people will never get it and this debate will never go away.
George W Bush’s former top adviser has said he is “proud” of the use of harsh interrogation techniques – including waterboarding – during the War on Terror.
via Bush aide Karl Rove insists ‘waterboarding is not torture’ – Times Online.
Why stop at waterboarding? The [...]
Now using Hybrid and a child theme
I’ve been interested in switching to a theme framework and after looking at both Hybrid and Thematic, I’ve begun plugging into Hybrid with the child theme WP Full Site.
It’s a fun little exercise and Hybrid has lots of places to make changes just using a child theme. The WP Full Site function.php file has already [...]
And the winner is Xmarks
Earlier I had dropped Xmarks and installed Mozilla Weave. After a few weeks I’m back to Xmarks. Syncing the browser history is a very useful feature, but some really weird things have been going on with my Weave sync data lately.
My problems began when I installed Weave on my Ubuntu 9.10 work station. I could [...]
MINI Cooper fan problem
This is me charging my 2006 MINI S.
The battery was dead and I just assumed (HA!) that it was drained from being unused for months. Nope! The electric fan behind the radiator was not turning off. I charged the battery, went for a ride and when I left the car parked the battery was drained [...]
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn started
The first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn has been released and it looks good. All of the Gundam series starts off with a kid who gets tossed into a mobile suit battle. And of course these 16-year-old kids pilot their Mobile Suit like an expert in less than 5 minutes.
This series takes place in [...]
StartSSL and Nginx
I converted this blog from Apache2 to Nginx but forgot a step for SSL. With Apache2 to correctly install the SSL cert, you need to include in your config ca.pem and sub.class1.server.ca.pem. See here for more information.
I didn’t realize I had a problem until I pointed my iPhone at my SSL enabled web site.
With Nginx [...]
And the snow thrower is back
A few weeks ago I dropped off my snow thrower at the Sears repair location in Melville. On Friday I got an automated call from Sears saying it was done and I could pick it up. The original plan was to pick it up this Saturday. But since tomorrow there is supposed to be a [...]
Turtles!
Really need to admire the Auto-Tune the news videos
I would be really cool if they got Katie Couric to actually be on these videos.
So far so good with Nginx
This blog is running on a VPS provided by Slicehost. It’s the 512MB package and I have no complaints. The network connectivity is pretty good too.
512MB is not what it used to be. When I run out of ram, mysql and Apache2 both go insane. My VPS becomes unusable and I end up hitting the [...]
