joshandmeg.net is now officially migrated from my shared hosting account on Site5 to my own server, affectionately dubbed ‘Cortana’ (technically cortana.keppynet, where keppynet is my network name at home, and cortana is… ). Since you’re still reading, I’m assuming you want all the nitty-gritty details. All in all, it went remarkably well, much better than [...]

The server HDD started acting flaky at the beginning of the week, so I decided to be pro-active and start prepping a new drive for the system before it failed completely. I did have our Western Digital external HDD hooked up and it was holding all of our pictures, videos, and music. I decided to [...]

The nice and pain-free upgrade I experienced with my Ubuntu Server was definitely not repeated when it came to my desktop. Long story short, NVIDIA drivers for Ubuntu are generally a total pain, and they broke during the upgrade. Instead of doing what I usually do, which is obsessively spend hours on the forums until [...]

I just had a nice pain-free upgrade of my Ubuntu server from 8.10 to 9.04. I had been holding off upgrading for several weeks because I was positive something would break and I’d spend hours getting it back up and running. Much to my surprise, everything went off without a hitch. Ryan – Let me [...]

So here’s something interesting I’ve noticed over the past few weeks: SPAM seems to be slowing down a bit. Not just email SPAM either, but SPAM comments on this very blog have seen a very steep slow down over the past several weeks. The chart below shows the number of SPAM comments posted to this [...]

There really is a good excuse for the lack of posts and pictures lately. I dropped our camera onto our kitchen tile right after we got back from our Ohio Christmas trip. After it happened I messed around with it for awhile and eventually determined that it was still mostly functional, but the screen was [...]

Awhile back I posted the sad obituary of ze5170, my old laptop that bit the dust several months ago. Since then, Meg and I have been surviving on her equally old hp a610n desktop. We lived with this for as long as we could, but I, being the geek that I am, couldn’t go on for much [...]

Whoa! I finally got the blogs updated to WP 2.6. A few of weeks ago I attempted it and had major headaches, and it has been driving me crazy ever since then. So I gave it another shot tonight and finally got it up and running. Anyway, not really too many changes you guys will [...]

Update: Well, after a day of searching through forums I still haven’t resolved the issue. The blogs have been rolled back to 2.5.1 until I get a fix. On the bright side, you can log in again! I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, but the blog log-ins are not letting you in right now. I [...]

Just a quick blurb about the Gallery. I recently found a slick new theme for it that fits into the joshandmeg.net site design a lot better than the standard white one. All previous functionality is still present, there is just a small button in the top left portion of the page to show the side [...]

Woopra is a very new cutting-edge website statistics application, viewable through the members area of the website and through a desktop client for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Here is a screenshot of the dashboard area, I’m gonna go play with it for awhile now. I’ll post [...]

As you will notice as soon as you login to your blogs, they’ve all been upgraded to WordPress 2.5! It looks quite a bit different, and you can now upload multiple photos and insert them in to galleries. So, look around, get familiar with it, and let me know if you run into any problems. [...]

Yea! The site is finally back to a fully functional state. If you checked out either me or Megan’s blogs in the past week or so, I’m sure you noticed the posts were backwards (the really old posts were at the top of the page). The problem happened shortly after I upgraded to the release [...]

Success! I just upgraded joshandmeg.net to WordPress 2.5 (Release Candidate 1). Overall it was a pretty painless upgrade. I accidentally deleted my wp-config.php file during the process, so I had to hunt down my database data to fill in a new one. Other than that though, I didn’t have any problems. All my plugins still [...]
