site news and/or updates

i added a hit counter on the side bar.  i could host that myself, and i used to, but it tracked all page hits even from within the site and made some huge ridiculous number.  this one is externally hosted and does only unique hits.  i don’t really care and there’s probably a better way […]

the jazzsequence server (actually, the connection) is having problems completing file transfers.  it seems it gets to a certain point in the upload and it just drops off.  i have a suspicion that it’s either something with my modem, or — which is my hunch — heavy bit torrent transactions for the last week and […]

i called the urology deptartment at the university of utah hospital to schedule an appt. for my vasectomy.  so that means it’s official, it’s happening.  the appointment i scheduled isn’t for the actual operation, it’s for a consultation, and the operation follows, which is good since the appt. is on sept. 25 which is 5 […]

i added some pages on the side under a new section called worldbuilding.  the purpose of this new section is to have a place to dump the different fictional worlds i’ve developed over the years.  some of these are closed, over and done with and some are still growing.  putting them on the blog means […]

last night and this morning i’ve been messing with apache and tweaking the generic error pages to customize them for jazzsequence.com. go ahead, try to pull a page not found…(here, i’ll help. also, you can get an access forbidden page here.)

ssh – check ftp – check forums – check (no upgrade to phpbb3-RC1, however…apparently they don’t have an upgrade script from a previous beta release…and i tried just dumping the new files on top of the old ones and got a sql error…then again, there were other things going on so i might try that […]

ssh – check (was actually easier than i expected…) ftp – needs help. installed vsftpd, but i’m missing something, possibly need to assign users to the ftp group or something. looking at pureftpd right now, bc it seems easier to set up. with ssh set up, though, i can do this stuff remotely as opposed […]

woooo!!! there were some permissions issues with the database, and some more permissions stuff that i need to fix later, but the server is back up and the website is fully functional again. tonight i’m going to upgrade to feisty and then the real work begins. i still need to fix: chmod permissions for www […]

i typed up a couple more recipes today.  they still need to be tweaked to be fully egg/dairy-free, but they can be found in their unabridged state, atm.  also, i found a printer-friendly view plugin, which i’m pretty happy with.

i put up a new page for all of our recipes. my idea is that we have one central place for everything (since we have a lot of random sheets of paper with printed recipes from various websites/blogs). the first step being putting up all the GF recipes we’ve acquired and/or tweaked so a) we […]

before the page was updated, this blog wasn’t seeing much action.  what have i been doing?  well there’s the gavin.  there’s the we’re having another baby soon and the wow, we’ve been married 5 years thing.  i’ve made several ampache themes.  i’ve started a new World of Darkness forum game, and i’ve been learning about […]

i set up a new blog site for erin and thought i’d use that opportunity to test out wordpress. i decided i liked it so much that i converted my blog to use wordpress instead of sblog. it’s a lot more robust and has actually seen updates in the last year (which, unfortunately, sblog cannot […]
