In which I do my administratrix thing. I upgraded goblinbox to WordPress v2.0.2 today! It was terrifyingly easy! I’m so happy it’s hard not to squeal. I also installed a calendar over at house-11.com. It’s supposed to be so the band can put their schedules in there so we know when rehearsals are and when […]
In which what the fuck?! So when I checked on goblinbox before bed last night, everything looked fine. This morning my layout was all hosed and funky looking, and I — believe it or not — didn’t do it. I wasn’t even there! (It’s usually my fault, when the site’s screwy-looking, though I rarely admit […]
In which I repeat a funny ISP moment. Our Sales department sold a maintenance contract on a wireless LAN installation to a hotel in a town about two hours from here. Hotel people are luddites. When guests check in and can’t get on the wireless LAN, the hotel people freak out on Sales, and Sales […]
In which I discuss domestic issues. In the past couple of weeks I’ve had a realization. An epiphany, if you will. When Brett was working full-time and I was working part-time, I suffered from a great deal of guilt. I never felt like the house was clean enough, or like I was really working quite […]
In which you see the progress my househusband has made. While it’s true that there are piles of clothes all over the house, the floors haven’t been swept in weeks, and there are little chunks and flecks of dried foods stuck to the kitchen counters, my home-bound husband has been doing a little something ’round […]
In which I’ve been totally busy all day! (This is a geek post; you can skip it if you’re not one.) You know what’s awesome? Being busy at work! There’s an old web server here that’s been hacked (yes, totally pwn3d – and yes, we’re appropriately ashamed) and some clever little punk-ass geek is running […]
How to kill and restart HTTP service on a Cobalt RAQ web server. Ya need to be logged in as root. At the command prompt, type: tail /var/run/httpd.pid It’ll return the process ID, eg. 2739. Then type: kill -HUP 2739 HTTP should come right back up.
In which I bust out a Phillips and unscrew some things. Several months ago I rebuilt my home computer because I’d let my administrator password expire and I couldn’t get into Windows. (Don’t laugh! It’s rude.) Anyway, at some point during that little project, my CD-RW stopped working. Which meant I couldn’t install any software […]
In which I get something new for once. Last week, my monitor failed. It was all pink and evil and strobing madly when I came in one morning. So I told the appropriate people and a replacement was ordered. It came today. Yay! New flat panel monitor with built-in speakers! (Wow, now that I’ve moved […]
In which you get to see my desktop! I haven’t posted a pic of my desktop in like a thousand million quadrillion years, so here it is: (Click to embiggen.) I’m running Windows2kPro with WindowBlinds and Iconoid. Can’t remember where I got the wallpaper from. Goddamn I’m cute.
