    Interesting concept! Too bad we're retiring all of our Suns, or this might be of value to me. Are there others? I'm off to check -- thanks!

  3. Re:You might hate Apache but.... on Why I Hate the Apache Web Server · · Score: 1

    Use VirtualHosts, and put each one in it's own file, in it's own dir. You can Include dir/*. You could even make a script that generates one per user with the right parms per, if they're different, or set some defaults.

    As a sysadmin that has worked with many different webservers (and also those that called themselves webservers), I've found Apache to be just a breeze to work with, and it is very easy to get Apache to do what you want quickly.

    Same here, though I have intended to play with some of the audio and video tools -- just haven't had the opportunity. I (ashamedly) had to install Windows to do a video project recently. Does anyone have suggestions of software we could use that is up to snuff? I'd hate to have to edit video at the command-line, or a just-barely-works kind of package.

    Hahahahaha! Sanford was one of my customers at an ISP I worked at. He hosed our machines feeding filth, and we cut him off. As I did every day at 3:00, I put on Black Sabbath, and deleted the abusers and non-payers. I remember that day...

    We absolutely need people focusing on how to unplug them as needed. At the very least.

    YES! YES! We ABSOLUTELY need COMPETENT people focusing on how to unplug assholes as needed. Not know-nothing morons, crownies, or yes-men. I am all in favor of nuking our current public employees, and starting from scratch. I don't care about conservatives, librals, or whatever other label that one can come up with, what's going on now is total bullshit.

    Either that, or get me off this planet, and I'll go help build it with those who DO care, and ARE competent. Hello? I'm ready for beam-out. Hello?

    We're CITIZENS, not customers! This is something that our current government seems to forget these days. Maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing, though, imagine the competition -- you don't like your vendor (Gov't), choose another one! Also, think about what service-level-agreements would be like -- imagine not having to pay taxes for this year, because your level of service wasn't up to snuff!

    That's what I'm talking about!

  11. Re:Opinions on Drupal on Community, OSL and Sun Jump to Drupal's Rescue · · Score: 3, Informative

    Drupal seems to be a far better CMS than PHPNuke was, I had created a whole bunch of websites using PHPNuke.

    PHPNuke was great at the beginning, until kiddies started using the thing to send SPAM, post SPAM, and generally piss me off. Manual process to deal with that kind of crap.

    Drupal seems to have a couple of modules that let you deal with SPAM, though I haven't investigated it enough yet.

    I like how modular the code is, and I haven't needed to edit the Drupal code to make it do what I want, like I had to with PHPNuke.

    We're working on changing WiFiMaps.com over to Drupal, and I've alrealdy converted Recruiter-Rater over, using a nuke2drupal conversion script -- quite painless!

  17. School? What's that? on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    I found school to be child/teenager storage, and nothing more. "Here, go sit with these people who don't want you around." I was not allowed to take programming classes, so I went home and taught myself how to program without any books.

    I have come to the realization that if I went to college right after 6th grade, I would have done just fine. I didn't learn anything at all from 7th-11th grades in school. Highest math I had was geometry. I got really pissed one day, and went and signed myself out, and got a GED.

    Also, I was taught lots of lies about our society, science, religeon, etc. The education system here in America is a fucking waste. Like systems adminitrators, some teachers are good, and some are bad. In our kind of environment, it is easier for bad teachers to hold onto their jobs, than it is for the good teachers, and this sucks.

    And that's what seperates wardriving from theft of services, or tresspass, or whatever you want to call it -- crossing the line.

    I recommend wardriving, but I do not recommend using networks for which you have no authorization. I interviewed the FBI on this topic, and also went over safe wardriving procedures.

    Of course, I could also go to jail for taking pictures of a hospital 3 blocks from my house, but that's another story that I haven't blogged about yet.
