Hi, I’m Chris

I make websites and things. Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with Large Language Models (colloquially known as AI) to test their capabilities and to help make my job and D&D Dungeon Mastering life easier. Feel free to click around to learn more about stuff I like to do and/or am working on.

  • 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…

  • server is back online!!!

    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

    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…
