ed hosting you have to administrate your own vps account which involves the linux operating system apache web server mysql database php perl scripting languages etc which can be daunting for the uninitiated like me so i ve been talking to magoo whose guides are hosted here such as his intro to linux to see if we have to go that route he was still available to administer a vps account for me that s what he does as part of his day job he said i ain t scared of no vps even tho having your own vps is very cool i d rather stay shared primarily for the co t but if we have to go that route i want to understand what s involved you can eavesdrop on the dialogue here magoo vps admin continue reading radified moving to a virtual private server vps tags shared virtual private server vps

update to yabb 2 2 is complete first things first my attention turns to ye olde rad blog for which i ve used movable type since 2003 and been waiting patiently for the release of v4 1 cuz it has the cool features i want as fate would have it mt 4 1 was released yesterday woohoo actually i really want to use the new open source version mtos which was supposed to provide the first stable release of mtos concurrent with the release of mt 4 1 oh wait here it is downloading now have to admit i ve been looking forward to this release download complete been watching the progress of mt4 since it was released last summer and this version 4 1 is the one to get i officially recommend it it s where i ve decided to jump in at the first stable release of mtos note that this will be a new clean install not an upgrade only bad thing is that the documentation for mt 4 1 isn t yet complete especially for the things i wanna do use such as the fckeditor i was looking hard at expressionengine but they re in the process trying to release ee 2 0 which breaks backward compatibility for the first time in their history which makes the current ee 1 x a dead end and all x 0 releases always need bug fixes so that would involve a long wait for ee 2 0x while mtos 4 x is here now plus it s free unlike ee i ve also been learning lots about xhtml css so i m very much looking forward to redesigning the site now that i have the skillz to do whatever i want regarding site design i m looking forward to translating my ideas into design this is what i m most excited about and where i ve been focusing most of my geek energy learning i also been getting letters from folks asking about a re design of the black beast updated for 2008 i love doing that but it takes more time than you might imagine so i m still on

members 1100 to start and 25k posts 33k to start this sux now you know why i dread upgrades yeah i have a back up made just before the upgrade tired right now midnight should probably get some rest a tired geek is a dangerous geek but too upset to sleep i may have to re up files for posts members from the back up the file transfer did complete pretty fast for 35k posts so i think the server may ve choked i probably should ve done the transfer in baby step instead of que ing up all 35k at once live n learn other than that losing many posts and members the new forum seems to be working okay update1 i was able to restore several thousand posts via the back up but it is incredibly tedious you can t imagine how bad this suks so long to restore only a small percentage too many files que ed up choke the server so there s good news we didn t lose posts as it appears we should be able to recover them all tho it will take a while continue reading upgraded rad community forums to yabb v2 2

forums to yabb v2 2 i m preparing to upgrade the rad community forums to yabb 2 2 which was released november 8th allowing time for them to correct any glitches discovered since the new release we currently use yabb 2 1 which was released more than 2 years ago so this should be a major upgrade i m using the safe method of installing a new clean copy of yabb 2 2 leaving the current 2 1 forum up running while i set up the new 2 2 version which takes a while after everything is hunky dory re configured i ll rename the currently used directories to some other name and rename the new 2 2 directories to those currently used by v2 1 after editing one file paths pl to reflect these changes we should be golden with a brand spanking new upgraded forum the forums contain more than 30 000 posts people smarter than me frequent there they deserve the new stuff i ve already downloaded the new files and uploaded them to my server physically located downtown los angeles and chmod ed everything very tedious ready to install the new forum by running setup i also deleted many member accounts stayed up late last night anybody with 2 posts or less and who hadn t visited the forums for 60 days was ax ed they can always re register you can glean more of the gory details here upgrades suk so many things can go wrong wish me luck update the new forum installed without a hitch woohoo

bug is 3 the highlight of his b day came at the back bay where we thru rocks off a bluff into a canal below on a gorgeous winter afternoon in sunny socal at first he couldn t reach the water his throws fell short hitting the thick black mud exposed by the low tide but some coaching from dad showed him how to put his hips into the toss giving him the extra distance to reach the water ker plunk i know throwing rocks is not disneyland but he couldn t have been happier we thru countless rocks into the water i always try to pay attention but on his b day i made a conscious effort to really get down on his level and look him in the eye and make contact he seemed to respond accordingly he seemed happy maybe the happiest i ve ever seen the day before he never woke from his nap slept the whole afternoon night thru only done that once before so i wasn t sure if he wasn t feeling okay at one point during our hike at the back bay i called out for him to come on bug cuz he was lagging back drawing something on the dirt trail with a stick and he called back whadju say daddy something about that touched me he talks well especially for a 3 year old i mean you can have a decent conversation with him i also like that he knows what he wants for most parents birthday 3 is a special milestone but for me given what i ve been thru you can be sure it was extra special tags fatherhood visitation

version of movabletype blogging software which happens to be v4 1 which is currently in beta3 which was released 2 days ago the main reason i m waiting for v 4 1 is cuz copy n paste from the what s new in mt 4 1 page valid well formed xhtml post content movable type s rich text editor is now completely modular allowing a developer to create a plugin to swap in the rich text editor of their choice a plugin for the popular fck editor which outputs semantically valid xhtml has been created by six apart and is available in our plugin directory the biggest trouble i have with mt 3 35 which i currently use is with the editor i use tinymce it strips out code i want to use for lightbox among other things causing much grief so the option to use a variety of editors especially the fck editor which outputs well formed xhtml which i ve been studying will be very cool wonder how they came up with that almost profane name mt4 now comes in three different versions commercial open source personal people are grumbling see comments cuz only the commercial version which costs 235 will come with a feature called custom fields a feature which moves mt in the direction of content management like drupal for example and away from pure blogging software i m also interested in expression engine which supports custom fields natively but ee is not free for personal use like mt4 if they would comp me a license i d go that route especially if they release a version with a wysiwyg editor maybe i ll ask can t hurt right for more real world insight into this question of movable type v4 1 vs expression engine v1 6 see this thread titled six apart releases movable type open source v4 1 for why i feel mtos is a better choice than ee at least right now continue reading movable type v4 1 vs

years they say are most important developmentally the bug will be 3 this week can you believe it i feel good about his development especially considering the challenges we ve faced so i won t say it s been easy but he s pretty cool big fan of lightning mcqueen while picking him up last week he said while sitting in his mom s lap as she tied his shoes i m so glad i got you dada that stuff makes me melt he s entered the why phase everything is why of course not all answers are easy to explain but i try my best along these lines a friend recently told me because i said so is never an acceptable response advice my parents obviously never heard sometimes i tell him i don t know to which he asks why don t you know sometimes i even say you re still small and you probably won t understand but this is how it works then i proceed to explain things in terms he can understand cuz kids understand more than we give them credit for and i finish with you ll understand better when you get bigger my biggest regret is that he ll never be able to spend more than a short time with both his mom dad the two people who made him but as tom said it s better than seeing those two people fighting all the

margin can t help but recall the dream i had kinda weird if you consider when i had that dream more than a year ago and what was going on politically at the time i mean obama was barely in the picture he hadn t even announced his candidacy which was still months away and now i read he s favored 9 to 1 to win the new hampshire primary this tuesday obviously the more viable he becomes and he just became very viable the more likely someone would be to intercept that viability on this subject i read end of 7th paragraph reflecting obama s new found eminence security around him has been stepped up obama has secret service protection but whenever you push for change especially when that change affects the powers that be it s not unreasonable for those in power to uh resist especially when much is at take and being black it would be easy to pawn off as the work of a racist speaking of the new hampshire primary let me interject an observation i lived in maine an hour from the nh border for 4 months summer and got to know the people there many from new hampshire the most prominent thing i remember about these people is how hard they work i mean they have the strongest work ethic you ll find anywhere having lived worked in many different states over the years such as hawaii maine florida new york illinois idaho connecticut washington pennsylvania and now kalifornia has given me an

despite being 2 years old an eternity in the tech world andy budd takes you straight to the cool stuff the concepts he presents are straightforward yet the execution is far from intuitive but budd excels at presenting examples which teach as much as if not more than the narrative so you have this synergistic thing going on between the narrative and example code he provides techniques you d never think of on your own and he provides multiple solutions to accomplish each effect such as rounded corners so i m learning lotsa cool stuff it s going slower however than i expected cuz i keep breaking to research the graphics techniques he references but doesn t explain which involve learning how to use photoshop so i m learning image editing at the same time but css is even cooler than photoshop so i m always eager to return and as you might ve noticed i ve been lagging on site updates while focusing on learning css along these lines of learning more about technology i leave you
