System SPEEDUP

This evening, I installed PHP Accelerator 1.2p3 to the system which results in MUCH faster page serving from this site.

Linux is weird…

Okay, this Linux stuff is kinda flakey. I’m trying to get XWindows (running Ximian GNOME) working when I log in as ROOT, but it doesn’t. It works fine if I log in as another user on the machine, but not as root. Also, my ZIP drive has never worked since […]

Mr. Face Update — 15-Feb-2002

Last night, Wendy was planning to leave Mr. Face at the her veterinary hospital instead of bringing him home (she typically takes him in with her in the morning (he’s fed, watered, held, & cared for all day) and brings him home in the evening). But, because she was planning […]

MAJOR system backup performed — a little downtime.

Tonight, I performed a comprehensive system backup of this machine. Essentially a ‘snapshot’ of everything on this machine, I’m in the position of being able to completely restore the machine to today’s state in the case of a catastrophic loss. It’s rather a long process, but thankfully, an automated one, […]

Major System UPGRADE!

The system was down much of today for a MAJOR upgrade. I’ve transferred the server to a bigger, faster box and installed Linux Mandrake 8.1 PowerPack and more than doubled the system’s storage. It didn’t go without hitches, but it’s back up and running! As always, please let me know […]

Over The Rhine Tribute CD — What It Takes To Please You — ARRIVES!

This project could have been a lunchbox. Or a wax museum. Or sets of limited-edition Grenada-issued commemorative stamps. Linford and Karin holding the Tribute CD during their visit to our radio program. Back in October of 1997, a fan named Joel Smith had jokingly proposed the suggestions above (among others) […]

Big day for Wendy…

Today was a pretty big day for Wendy. She’s been complaining about her computer being slow — which it was. So, we talked about it and ended up buying her a PowerSpec 8250 computer — a Pentium 4 with a load of hard drive and memory. It’s a nice change […]

Netscape Navigator Users — Fixed!

A problem existed on this system for Netscape Navigator users… Many times, users of Netscape Navigator would not be able to display pages on this site due to a difference in the way that Navigator handles the cascading style sheets for the themes on DrewVogel.COM. Today, I fixed at least […]

How were the holidays for everyone?

How were everyone’s holidays? Mine were fantastic… We spent a lot of time with our families and had a great time. On Christmas Eve, we were at my parent’s house for dinner and fellowship. Then, Christmas Day, we were with Wendy’s parents at their house with the extended family. Squeezed […]

No Upgrade (Yet)!

I’ve decided to wait to upgrade this system to the latest release of Post-Nuke. The most recent release has not been very smooth, so we will not upgrade this site until some of the rough spots are smoothed out. It is my expectation that installation of the new release will […]

OTR Taft Show & Lostee Gathering

I didn’t know whether to do this or not…but what the heck…my thoughts on this past weekend (now that I have a moment to catch my breath). I must say first of all that, despite how excited I was to do the weekend, I was more than a wee bit […]

Some behind-the-scenes changes…

In anticipation of upgrading to the newest release (0.701) of PostNuke, our Content Management System, I have made some behind-the-scenes changes to the way that the Main Menu works.

What a weekend!

What a great weekend we had here in Cincinnati! This was the weekend of the annual Over The Rhine Christmas show at the Taft Theatre, and there were many festivities that went along with the show. There are Reviews of the show in Reviews and pictures in the Photo Gallery. […]

OTR Concert at Taft Theatre, December 8, 2001

I like the Green Yellow Swallowtail song more and more. At the SouthGate House show (in September) it seemed very eerie because they had cut their backroads tour short within a week or two because Karin’s mother had a stroke. The line something like “mother’s not dead she is only […]

This evening, I updated the site with a new version (1.8.3) of Andromeda, the MP3-jukebox. If you haven’t yet check out Andromeda on this site, you really should take a moment to explore Andromeda. It’s very feature-rich, and ours is a particularly nice implementation (if I do say so myself!). […]

Work continues…

Another look at what’s going on in Drew’s life… Some new projects and more! Boy oh boy… Was I ever wrong when I predicted that the final coat of paint in the kitchen would be done Thursday or Friday! I painted two coats in the kitchen one day last week […]

PHEW! A system upgrade — close call!

I thought I would upgrade the system software today using the tools that were provided by my software manufacturer. Using their tools, I logged into the update site, downloaded about 20 megs of updates (after several false starts because the update system was busy), and applied them. The updates applied […]

An update on Drew…

I wanted to take a few moments to update you on what’s going on in my life. We’ve moved into our new house and, on Sunday October 28, turned the keys to the condo back in to the management office — we’re totally in the new house and no longer […]

System Upgrades & Other News

Since the price of memory is so cheap, I added 256 more megs to my development machine, giving it a total of 512 megs of memory. This machine (running the server) doesn’t need any more memory, but I may throw 256 more megs into it. Eventually, the server system will […]

Wendy and I closed on our house today! We’re now officially HOMEOWNERS. We’ll be moving sometime during the month of October, once we get some painting, carpeting, flooring, and all that done. There will be some system downtime as we transition the server from one location to another, but I […]

Drop your linen, and start your grinnin!

Testing… 1… 2… 3… Is this thing on? After almost two freekin’ weeks of being offline, DrewVogel.COM is finally back online! ZoomTown, my ISP, took their sweet time in protecting themselves against the Nimda Worm… Can’t say I blame them for taking precautions, but Sweet Christ… TWO WEEKS? We’re back […]

Unexpected downtime — NIMDA WORM

The system was unexpectedly down for most of the week of 18-September-2001. As it turns out that my service provider was being cautious with the Nimda Worm that’s been taking the country (world?) by storm. Sorry for any trouble it might have caused. All is right now, and I took […]

Updates to DrewVogel.COM

On 05-September-2001, I added an internal ATAPI ZIP drive to the system. Users won’t notice this addition too much, since it is used mainly for system backups. I also wrote a script that automagically backs up the entire system, including dumping the tables, to the ZIP drive. Share: Print (Opens […]

System Downtime — UNSCHEDULED!

As some of you might have noticed, DrewVogel.COM was unavailable for several hours (from 3:30pm-11:30pm) on Monday, September 10, 2001. This was due to a power outage at the server location. Sorry for the downtime, folks. The bright side of all this, if there is a bright side, is that […]
