My Life Tech Notes

Looking to see if objects work in WP.  Having trouble with Objects and flash.

I really need to stop and smell the roses.
 I’ve been so busy lately these two neighbors at my office surprised and delighted me the other day. After a cloudy day with a little rain I was walking towards the front door with tech on my mind…and splash the sun lit up this group of unattended beauties.  Don’t know what they are but the way the sun hit them was like those commercials where all is black and white save a colorful highlight. 

I have another to show you but ferry and iPhone limitations bid me farewell for now.

Oh oh oh …. found a problem with a cable built must be eight years ago. Pinning was wrong. Fixed it and the connection works just fine

Found where my image upload was mis-configured. I have the right write permissions on the folder I was uploading to …but the path in WP was wrong. I do not remember changing the path but took a look at Settings –> Miscellaneous –> Uploading and set things right there.

Have choir practice so gotta go!! cya.

Today makes it 25 years of wedded bliss. My lovely bride and I have shared a journey with God leading us we’ll make another 25 and more.

I love you Theresa!

Renewing Our Vows with Pastor Staub

OK so I’m working feverishly learning WordPress.  Having trouble uploading images using the “Add Media” above.  Also trying to hunt down so tutorials on how it works instead of just following my nose into the application

I want to be competent in WP  and use it for my church website as well as my County Republican site and for customers.  To be a resource for WP solutions.  Will let you know how it goes.

Well after the golf fun I settled in to get a clients computer fully installed and upgraded for their workday on Monday. Did not actually get it in place for then until 11:00 am due to all the apps needed and printers. Still hoping that all was well and little will need to be done to complete the recovery process.

A DNS Poisoning issue has been discovered and everyone running a server needs to get their DNS updated ASAP (3 weeks ago) so I spent some time last night making sure all was well with my systems. Apparently end-users may also need to run updates. This means that you should be sure to allow Windows Updates and Mac OS X Software Updates to do what they need to do.

OK, as a result of the adjustment to the mail server, during which I attempted to get MailScanner running again (its been disabled for quite a while), A number of messages in the old MailScanner queue (from Feb?) were delivered and also if you happened to leave mail on the server for a few days you received another copy of those left. What fun, eh? Meanwhile MailScanner proceeded to put excessive loads on the server slowing it to a crawl. In the end I disabled MS again and all is back to normal. Will need to clear the cache tonight so the mail will be delivered and this (the mail part) won’t happen again in the future. Annnd I need to explore why MS dominates the server when it it started up.

A few other anomalies made for some interesting exploration. dovecot, vsftp, mysql, and httpd. It was good, I need the refresher……And finally I decided to get this blog going using WordPress.

Ahhhh . . . .  Sunday after noon and watching the PGA Championship.  Pulling for Padrig Harrington over Sergio Garcia.  Both are making it interesting  with Ben Curtis putting pressure on a hole behind.  We’ve been golf fans ever since Jenny started playing back in 2002.  Fell in love with Phil Mickelson as he won a Wachovia and his kids and wife rushed him on 18.  And then he wished Moms across the world a Happy Mothers Day when he could have been talking about himself. 

Anyway, I need to get out and golf a bit before the season is over.
