Kiddos,
I have to run out to exchange a few items and go DirecTV-shopping. Maybe get a new phone, too. But before I do, I thought I'd share a bit of a technological success with you. You see, yesterday I, for the first time, managed to complete a successful Linux install. I've been trying Linux since college (that's almost ten years ago, folks) with no luck. Yet yesterday, I had the right platform (Pentium II-400, 512m RAM, acquired from my old job) and the right flavor (Debian) that came together to create the brand-spanking-new kate.entertainmentweakly.com. She sits in the garage, whining away quietly, in a cardboard box. She's also hardwired into the router, which is battery-backed-up, so the EW outages you all were used to will be a thing of the past. Of course, I'm told the server doesn't work at all with some people, while being perfect for others. It's a true mystery, and one I'm a bit tired of working on right now. I'll look into it more later. I'm sure there's some crazy, obscure Apache variable that needs to be changed.
Yeah, kind of nerdy, but I'm glad to get the server off the wireless network and onto something more secure. And just to celebrate, I'm going to inline a photo from it! Observe its blistering fibreoptic speed! If it works for you, that is.
This is Ryan and I after a long day of hanging out on New Year's Day. Eh? I haven't told you about New Year's? I haven't told you about a lot of things. Stay tuned, freakwaks.
