No jive on ‘05

December 31, 2004

Today is New YEars eve and it marks the end of one year and the start of another. Usually around this time people are making new yeats resolutions for things that more then likely they will never full fill this year. I should know because i have done it to myself a few times. But this year i am going to do something slightly different, i am going to make a few promises to myself seeing how i can keep those other then resolutions. Without further delay here is my small list of things i am going to promise myself

-Get out of debt, i dont care how i am going to do it but i want to be clear of debt by this time next year
-Better shape, i promise myself that i am going to lose some more weight this year, i want to be a sexy bitch by the summer
-Get back into a few hobbies that do not involve computers, one thing that comes into mind is drawing. I use to do comic book art when i was in high school and was pretty decent in it. The sad thing is i havent done anything at all since then.
-Start following through on things that i say i am going to do. I been saying that i am going to do quiet a few things at home and at work. This year i am going to make good on what i say instead of just “talking the talk”

That’s about it for now, gotta head out and hit some New Year’s parties. I hope everyone has a good night and keep it real

need a recommendation

December 22, 2004

Ok,

I’m currently working on doing a complete web site design for my parents buisness. I’m still in the process of drawing up layouts and kinda finalizing how i want everything to be presented. What i would like to do is set it up so that they can keep the current events section updated and have the ability to upload pics to the photogallery section. Now i know there is apps out there that can do that. But i dont need a full blown CMS solution and i dont need a full blown photogallery solution (web host constraints, see below).

Here is the catch,

-No access to databases. Webhost doesnt give me mysql, pgsql or mssql.
-Site is being hosted on a windows server
-Most of the pages are going to be static except for the two
-Needs to have some sort of login system, not sure how i am going to pull this off with no DB
-Needs to integrate with exsisting site design

I dont even know where to begin with this, i would like to do it in either in perl or php. If anyone has done something similar and can point me in the right direction that would be aces

Linux.Ars End of the year award

December 22, 2004

Well time to throw in my votes for this year..

Contributor of the Year - god i dont even know on this one. Sad to say i really dont pay much attention to this..

Best Community - the Unbuntu guys, because everyone else is raving about them

Distribution of the Year - Unbuntu, because i can load it up on my laptop and dont have to dick around much to get everything working.

Desktop Application of the Year - split between firefox and thunderbird. Its all i use and its in my honest opinion the best apps out there for mail and browsing

Server Application of the Year - going to have to give Nagios the nod on this one. I been learning it lately and its pretty badass for an open source network monitoring app.

Web Application of the Year - going with wordpress on this one. It’s what powers this site and i find it very easy to use and customize.

Development Application of the Year - anything that involves perl/php. ITs what i know

Hardware Vendor of the Year - Nvidia, because they provide some of the best support for their hardware in Linux

Online Publication of the Year - going to say fuck the riules and say LKF, i dont really read anything else.

Dead Tree Publication of the Year - I am a big fan of Linux Journal, i been reading them forever and love their articles. They have a little bit of everything for all skill levels and interests

Best Newcomer to the Community - Unbuntu, for making Debian more sex then it already is

Best Improved in the Community - Novell, for the work they are doing with Ximian and Suse

Most Anticipated Application - A groupware solution that can give Exchange a run for its money

Thumbs Down - Going to have to say the Fedora community on this one. FC1 was fucking AWESOME when it hit and had alot of promise. Too bad the last two releases were kinda shitty . I also hate how there is 20 million seperate repositories for RPM’s instead of one big central one (a la Debian) . Hopefull with the release of fedora extras’s that will fix that issue.
