  • random acts of goodness

    random 001::yesterday i received 7 emails from my backup server for a daily status update which i set up a long time ago.  when i went to see how the mail server was set up to find out why i got these all of a sudden, i found out the mail server was my (previously…

  • clone resolved

     i emailed the, uh, life group moderator and she was able to pass the message along to my clone.  he emailed me from her account and his email address has a number at the end (which apparently he forgets to put in).  so now at least i have a place to forward the misdirected emails…

  • my clone is bugging me

    so a couple months ago, i think, i acquired a clone.  this clone is named has the same first and last namd and middle initial, and lives in virginia, i think.  his wife is approximately as pregnant as erin and i can’t remember her name (it’s not erin), and she sent out some update on…

  • woo insurance resolution

    so i bugged my HR guy about the insurance thing, even though i know he doesn’t do benefits stuff.  he got with a couple contacts who do handle that stuff and made a few phone calls and, ultimately, they’re actually fixing the insurance biz.  i confess, i really never expected that to happen.  it’s past…

  • minor page update and insurance frustration

    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…

  • mid-20s crisis

    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…

  • custom error pages

    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.)

  • ubuntu-fied weekend

    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…

  • server update, part deux

    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…

  • server update

    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…
