On the Naming of Systems
Lew on Tue, 01/19/2010 - 18:06"A cat has three names ..." goes a poem/song from Cats, and so do systems on a network. A system has a proper name such as NTOABYM05 or MVSQA100, and a common name, such as nancy or sluggo. Finally, a system has a secret name, like 05:09:3f:57:60:22 or 198.162.27.33.
Micro-review of the Fidelity VPC
Lew on Fri, 01/08/2010 - 18:33A little while ago, I observed that Zellers was selling the Fidelity VPC, an inexpensive Linux-based netbook. Well, I saw it in action over Christmas, and I have to say that I was not impressed.
VHOSTs all done
Lew on Mon, 12/21/2009 - 13:37That's it. The last website has been moved to Drupal 6.
This morning, I took a mysqldump backup of the last backlevel public site (migrated to Drupal 5, yesterday), and created a new "internal" site from it. Using the same magic incantations as before (log on, disable modules, change httpd vhosts, update.php, enable modules), I managed to get this last site running properly on Drupal 6, internally.
