Seminar, Finished, Groovy
I got the chance to attend a Mac OS X Tiger/Tiger Server seminar today. Mostly it was an advertisement for the new features in the latest flavor of OS X, but there were a few subtle things I learned about. Mostly what was new to me were the features in Mac OS X Server. I could geek out for a bit here, but being that I probably won’t be running such a server anytime soon, I won’t.
Also today finally marked the conclusion of the journy that was building the math department a new website. The project had been just about complete for a while now, but we had to wait for a few things to happen before moving it over to the permanant server. Then when loaded on the new server, naturally, nothing worked. So after manually editing EVERY php file, twice, I was down to only 2 minor headaches, which could be lived without for a day or so. One, the photo album would load the expanded pictures, this was a simple fix to add _GET[”] to the variable declaration. Two, the random image rotator was seemingly completely broken. Somehow the line endings transformed themselves to DOS format, and a mystery character decided to rear its ugly head. Thanks to help from Hans, this got taken care of today as well.

Thanks for all your work!!!Jon.
Yay! Thanks Jon!
Lastly, I updated my pr0tfolio with a short description of my latest web project, and now I’ll have some free time to put up some of my photography and other art works I’ve been working on. w00tles!
How long have I been doing this?
Well I finally got around to importing my old movabletype entries from my eryxma backups (thanks to a tip from user imabug on MovableType’s forums). They date back to March 2003. Previous to that I was using LiveJournal for a while, and those entries are long deleted. I think I added 75 entries on to my total here to 136. This averages out to about one entry every 5-6 days, which isn’t terrible, but is a bit slower than I’d like things to be here.
Tomorrow [ edit (11:07pm): ok, so not today, but soon. ] I’ll have to go through and find the old images and the video linked to from these old entries and get them uploaded. After I get it all cleaned up, I’ll be able to trash the old backups I have and start keeping regular backups here.
