So, I was sitting at my computer and someone on Twitter mentioned a Wordpress Upgrade. As I went to update this site, I noticed that someone hit an article I wrote 3 years ago today (well, yesterday now that it’s after midnight) about G4TechTV.
Well, it wasn’t all about that horrible, horrible TV station, and more [...]

It’s true, my life revolves around forums. I manage servers for some large forum sites, and when I’m not working, I spent time reading and posting at places like SomethingAwful and occiasionally FARK (I still don’t “get” *chan, though. Deal with it!). I guess my obsession started out with BBS message boards, and things [...]

Well, the server move is complete, at least for this site. I still have yet to move Serverwiki to the new machine, but both this site (if you’re reading this) and War Ensemble are live on the new box.
I’m getting the hang of Debian, and I quite like it so far. What’s really impressed me [...]

I finally took the plunge. After leeching off of so many of my client’s webservers for so long (This site is hosted by LivingWithStyle as are my other websites), I’ve finally decided to get a dedicated server of my own. Also, after using Gentoo, Slackware, and various RedHat clones for so long I decided [...]

Most Wordpress users who logged into their control panel saw the link to Holy Plugins Batman! today. The gist of the story is that there’s an ungodly amount of indexed wordpress plugin directories in Google. If you read the comments section on the blog however, many people are confused as to why this [...]

I’ve been tinkering around with advertisements on a few of my sites over the last week or so in an effort to generate some sort of income. The goal is to make enough per month to be able to afford a new dedicated server.
I decided to try out Text Link Ads as a form of [...]

I ran into an odd problem yesterday. A customer needed the payflow pro extension added to PHP on a CentOS 4.4 server running cPanel. I upgraded him to apache 1.3.37 and php 4.4.4. all went well thus far.
When I went into /home/cpapache/buildapache/php-4.4.4 to recompile PHP –with-pfpro, I ran into a problem. [...]

I’ve been a part of online communities for a very long time.
It all started with dialing into a local BBS about 15 years ago. I discovered I could “talk” to people without actually having to talk to them. This was the beginning of the end for me
I joined up with quite a few [...]

So much for promising to update, eh?
I’ve just been really busy with Zoints as of late. (Yes, you can clicky on that link!) We’ve hit the public beta stage and we’re testing on LivingWithStyle. It’s really exciting to see something you’ve worked really hard on finally come to fruition!
Zoints is really going to revolutionize online [...]

Man, have I been busy. I’m working on setting up monitoring software for a server cluster (Nagios) and it’s not the most user-friendly program.
Anyway, UltraMonkey. The suggested amount of servers for my setup is Five, and I’m using two. I had to convince the Hosting Provider to grant me a block of [...]
