The weekend is winding down and it’s been a good one. Today, my wife has been catching up on some of her projects and I’ve been finishing up the laundry, which has been strangely pleasant, partly because I used the downtime to start working again on my thesis. My goal is to have it in [...]
lithe.uark.edu lives! Unfortunately, despite an entire day of screwing around with it, the PHP4 with MySQL support still isn’t happening. We installed Red Hat 7 (kernel 2.2.16-22) last week. But I didn’t realize the packages I neded most (Apache, MySQL, and PHP) would be so outdated already.
This morning, Apache 1.3.12 was running with PHP4.0.1pl2, [...]
Slow day. Most everyone has been out of the office. I’ve been tooling away on little projects. David is working on getting lithe.uark.edu back up. It’s probably live by now, and if you hit it you’ll get redirected to ubets.uark.edu. Our goal is to get the latest server software going on lithe. We already have [...]
Today started off so crappy that I almost called in sick and stayed home. But things have picked up a bit. Two more Gateways came in, so I’ve been setting one of them up. To speed up the process for the remaining ones, I’m burning a CD of all the shareware/freeware that I install on [...]
Blogger is getting so popular that logins during popular times of the day can take forever. They should use a little of that venture capital to upgrade their servers. :) I spent most of the morning working with 8th and 9th grade students in an area school. One of them was an very talented artist [...]
Life: Gina’s birthday was a success. She liked the gift I bought her and the ones her mother and my mom, Vicki, sent. We also caught Nurse Betty which was a lot of fun. We were going to dinner at Bordino’s (a nice Italian place), but we’d already eaten at a better place in Tonitown [...]
I just posted a review of my Carvin LB76 (six-string bass) to musicianreview.com (a site I found quite by accident). They didn’t have any other reviews of that bass, so mine is the first (woo hoo!). In other bass news, the new student will be starting this week. I’m pretty excited about that. He’ll be [...]
The software archive is very nearly finished. I have less than ten discs to add. Somewhere in the shuffle, we lost our Authorware 5.1 install disc. So I’m going to get Macromedia on the phone and see if I can convince them to send us a new one. I hope they’ll be cool about it, [...]
It’s been a few days since my last post. I’ve been busy with lots of stuff, both in and outside of the web. The Tares site has undergone a major overhaul. Now there’s a new image gallery, some video, and a guestbook. I also redid the news page (turned it into a blog) so the [...]
I’m surfing the web with my new Dell Latitude LS laptop–thanks Vicki! It’s funny how a new machine makes the web seem like a new place. I’ve been to download.com loading up on shareware. I might eventually make this a dual boot linux/windows machine, but for now I’m just running Windows 98.
I’m happy with [...]
