After years of running on a linode node I made the move to another host at the house. The advantage is I get a better internet pipe at home, and better performance as I own the entire host, not just a portion of cpu cycles.

Testing how to remote post.

I do all my communications with irc at work, but unfortunately I’m in Mountain TZ and work references Pacific. I found that I could run /script exec $ENV{'TZ'}='PST8PDT'; and set the time to follow pacific, but every time I put it into an auto portion it just flaked out. Perl to the rescue. I wrote a two liner perl called timezone.pl in .irssi/scripts
$: cat ~/.irssi/scripts/timezone.pl
# timezone.pl - set the timzone for irssi.
use strict;
$ENV{'TZ'}='PST8PDT';
And put it in my .irssi/startup file
script load timezone

Now when I start macirssi, it changes my default timezone that macirssi uses.

Ok. I finally caved into the socal networking pressure and signed up for facebook. To be quite honest’ it’s kind of neat how many people I have made contact with since then. Odd things this internet thing.

Well, hopefully I will settle down and keep things in one place. I’m now hosted by Linode.com. I went with them both for the price and they are based in my old hometown of Nashville.

I moved the old info over from a decrepid server. Hope performance is better.

Well after some sagelike advice from my good friend Toby of fatofthelan.com fame I decided to reduce the crapola on my side from a PostNuke site to basically all I ever use it for, a web journal. Hopefully things will continue to post.

I also found a converter to move my postnuke stories to wordpress format.

I had some fun today messing with a pic I took of Stryder at Misgivings. you can see the right here

Well I finally bit the bullet & set up some sort of Content Management system. I finally decided that I’m never gonna get around to dressing up my old site. Oh well. hopefully we can see things here more often.
