RedHat 9 — And It Was Good. As you may guess by that title, progress is being made. I haven’t had as much time to dedicate to this project as I’d like, but nonetheless… Today (or this evening, rather), I managed to get things moved around into their new (albeit temporary) locations. This was necessary…

It’s ALIVE! You read correctly, grasshopper. The (new) server box lives…RedHat 9. And it was good! I’m pretty sure I figured out what the problem was with the installation bits — it had to do with the CD-ROM drive. For some reason, perhaps the ages of the drives (although neither I tried (which ultimately failed)…

Major Change in Site Look! I started tinkering with it last night, and anyone who’s been here in the last 24 hours or so would’ve definitely known I was up to something. At different times throughout the day, things would’ve been very difficult (if not impossible) to read or decipher…for anyone who happened by here…

No DICT for you! For some strange reason, I’ve been unable to access dict.org for the last week or better. DNS queries are returning the correct information, but the trace of the path gets lost after about 15 hops…and can’t go any further. What’s more strange about this is that I can access dict.org from…

The WebSearch is over! Or something like that… This evening I made the aforementioned (previous news item) changes regarding the search skin for Matt’s Home on the Web. It was a relatively simple adjustment, really…just copying the style stuff from one template into another, making appropriate adjustments to reflect the different nature of the script.…

The Server Soon Will Live! The parts I’d ordered arrived today! What does this mean? Eventually I’ll have a new server box. Upon beginning the installation of RedHat 9 tonight, I’ve been encountering problems namely with the video refresh/resolution. After some time, I got that problem fixed, but then (after going through the package selection…

The Resistance: 2 The Enemy: 0 After some more (final) work on the picture display script (the bandwidth reducer problem-fixer), I’ve added a (minor) security fix and logging support, as well as general ‘niceness’ and refactored look to the script itself. This was done late last week (Friday, 9 May). The security fix had to…

The Resistance: 1 The Enemy: 0 Yeah, you read that correctly. If you’ve read enough of these news posts, you’d know that I’m referring to the image linking problem I’ve been battling for the last few months. This morning upon checking the access files (which has been a several times per week thing since this…

It’s Miller Time! Now that the Modern Functional Programming project is actually fully complete, it’s time to break out the beers! Now it’s time to work on some other miscellaneous projects I’ve been putting off (and planning for) for a long time. Woohoo! In other news… The second of our two ‘first fish’ died last…

I’ve made some changes to the News System. Namely the addition of “Events” in my life. In addition to the somewhat stagnant and always ‘past’ news () exclamation points (which are a Good Thing), I’ve decided after much thought to also include Events (noted by the light bulb — ) — things like birthdays, big…
