Endings and Beginnings

During our recent trip to Disney I had the opportunity to watch (from afar) the Shuttle launch. I’m going through pictures and figured I would share one.

I know I have at least three friends that are not on Facebook for one reason or another. Those people may be unaware that I have started to get a little more serious about my photography. I am start to book jobs and am trying to get a little income out of the deal. I [...]

# In Perl, you’ll need to increment the month by 1

my $RealMonth = $Month [...]

I acquired some new drives from some recently retired hardware. I’m currently in the process of rebuilding the system. Hopefully everything will remain operating through the night and until morning.

I’m going to try and get the entire LAMP stack working tonight. It wasn’t that difficult the first time, but I did find a great guide [...]

I decided I’m going to rework my blog and photography site, plus I have a few people that are asking me to redevelop their sites. Not a problem I have an old HP DL360 I can use as a sandbox server with RAID and work until everything is perfect (never happened) and not mess up [...]
