Old computer is old, and other asorted bits.
I’ve officially managed to date Jessica‘s computer. Its official age, as of right now, is older than dirt. Yesterday was an adventure in the upgrading of RAM. After finally figuring out this thing cannot keep its various periferals attached while it’s being worked on, I got to playing around … Read the rest

Finding new and interesting ways to torment the fiance.
This weekend’s interesting way? Attempt to teach her html. The challenge was provoked when, while preparing to write a blog post of her own, she realized her attempt to incorporate something into it would go a few times easier with those particular skills. So now I have a weekend project. … Read the rest

WTN, the mostly almost nearly all human edition.
So this has been a very entertaining week content-wise, hasn’t it just? Yeah, about that. Sorry. Those curve balls I kind of made reference to on Friday? They just keep comin’. In this week’s latest curve, hi, sick days a-plenty. Some of you will probably recall Jessica spent most of … Read the rest

And on the 8th day, God said, “Murphy, it’s all yours.”.
I should have probably taken the events of last weekend as a hint that this wasn’t going to be as event free a travel year as I’m used to. Shane had to push his departure date ahead a week to deal with a whole new brand of stupid that’s, naturally, … Read the rest

The halfway update thinggy from Rochester.

The-jdh.com turns 5, and my incitefulness takes a walk.
Back in 2006, before I had much of an idea I’d be getting into this whole regular blogging thing, I thought it’d be kinda neat to try out this whole having your own web address thing. I did the registration process, the configuring, and after a while, I even started … Read the rest

In which James seriously needs to stop failing at this blogging thing.
It just randomly occured to me, as I was plowing through various things that have been piling up while life was busy throwing us curve balls, it’s been exactly, as in to the day, two weeks since I’ve actually posted anything up here. And probably longer than that since the … Read the rest

In which ConfigServer quite possibly breaks WordPress. Oof.
I’ve been dabbling in the more involved server admin business for the past while. One of the things we’ve been experimenting with for the better part of a month is the firewall provided by ConfigServer. It’s halfway decent for what it does, as long as you’re not trying to … Read the rest

3 strikes, and the RIAA’s out?
some of you may have been following the developing story about the Recording Industry Asociation of America (RIAA) trying to convince ISP’s to implement a sort of 3-strikes policy that would see people the RIAA believes were involved in downloading music kicked off the internet. They’ve been threatening that for … Read the rest
