I figured out how to do custom 404 error messages with Apache. Now I want to put them on all of my sites. I’m having trouble with one that was working earlier today. I’m not sure if it’s me or IE that’s making things difficult (though it’s probably me).
That’s it, I’m tired and headed for [...]
My tech training workshop went well today. I showed the staff how to use the CD-Burner to copy CDs and burn data disks. I think most of them got it, though I confused them a bit when I described how to burn things from remote computers using network neighborhood. I guess I’ll work up a [...]
I spent the better part of the weekend offline, so it feels like I haven’t posted here in days. Vicki was in town this past weekend, and Gina and I had a great time showing her the sites and sounds of the town. She kept commenting on the beauty of the hills, since her local [...]
I worked on the IP masquerade thing from 8:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. (skipping lunch), but I made it work! And it’s wonderful. So now I have my Dell Latitude LS connected to the web through my Linux box, lithe.uark.edu. I’m still tweaking things, but, so far, it’s completely functional. And I’m glad to have [...]
U of A Computing Services rules with an iron fist. If you do anything on their network that they find questionable, they shut down your network drop and then come over to ask questions. Sometimes they just shut off your drop and wait for you to call them. I had been running a hub off [...]
The house cleaning progresses a pace … Gina is still in Harrison and will be until Thursday unless she comes back early to attend the funeral of a family friend. The boss came by my office today and wants me to finish spending $8K in technology money. Some ideas: InFocus projector (about $3K), MS Office [...]
I saw Guy Ritchie’s (Madonna’s beau) film, Snatch, this past weekend. It was very fun. It’s a fast-paced dark comedy about illegal boxing in England. It’s the sort of movie that makes you laugh at things you know you shouldn’t be laughing at. If you like gangster movies (particularly of the Pulp Fiction or Resivoir [...]
I’m updating my virus definitions. Recent events have taught me the importance of doing this. I actually came up here (I’m at the office) in order to grab my Norton Antivirus CD, but I think it’s atually at home. No problem. I needed to burn some discs anyway, and this is the only place with [...]
I’m so tired right now that I’m not sure I can compose a decent post. I’ve been working on paper work most of the day and now have my weekly reports (long behind schedule) back up to speed. The network drop which connects our server (ubets) to the world went bad today. So we had [...]
I downloaded and installed a fix that protects against the Ramen worm that hit our server yesterday. It exploits security holes in default installs of Redhat Linux 6.2 and 7 (we’re running 7). But it’s fixed now and I’m going to add securityfocus to my list of daily reading. They had the best info on [...]
