Finally came up with a method that works for me, so that my internal pluzzi.com hostnames and port redirections work from inside as well as outside the firewall - with no url changes. This wasn't a problem for me when I only had one firewall interface, because everything pointed to the ...

Well, after work, I found that my newly purchased Lacie 1Tb Big Etherdisk was no longer functioning.  It seems half the md0 meta device was offline , according to the syslog.  This is just 2 days after starting to use it.  I previously had one of the same devices that ...

Fixed an issue with my private Wiki not being accessible from outside.  Turned out to be that my "policy" section in my firewall didn't have the unusual port number listed.  The "NAT" rules had the proper forward rules in place, but the destination port was an odd port number, and ...

Switched over my NAS from the problematic one to the new one that was previously the backup. Hopefully everything goes well with this switch. Also after getting tired of spam comments in my blog, added the following lines to my httpd.conf file : deny from 78.129.208.40 deny from 78.129.207.244 deny from 78.129.202.3 deny from ...

POS vmFedora8 hung again tonite.  Like the other times, there's about a 6 hour warning when big brother goes purple, and after that, its all downhill.  So restarted the VM.  One of these days, I'll look into it .... right right right.

Following up on my post from May 10th, 2008, I just wanted to post the results of how this was fixed. What my issue was, was that in version 1.0.9a of Deki Wiki, I would insert images into my pages, but they would show as thumbnails in the ...

Hasnt happened in quite a while, but vmFedora8 hung this morning.  Did a quick bounce before heading for work, but unhappy to see this issue return.

Considering a switch from DVD-Attache to EMDB for my DVD collection cataloging.  I always like to publish the list on my private page - for access when Im not home , so the html export is a big feature for me.  You can read about how I converted the collection ...

As you've seen recently, I have started using Deki Wiki. I like it, and find it pretty easy to use. I downloaded the VM and it was super easy to get going. Today, I just updated it. Went from version 1.0.9a to 8.05. And now ...

Im sorta freakin out over here.  My NAS device, a Lacie 1TB Big EtherDisk, went dead on me on Sunday.  Started reporting errors all around.  Couldnt fire it back up again - showed power light on, but no connectivity, no life.  So I bought a new one, figuring I'd just ...

Posted an official procedure on how to configure the TurtleBeach/Gateway Audiotron for Internet Radio again, now that they've shutdown their site.   This is in essence, just  a reprint of my February 4, 2008 blog entry.

Updated my Fedora Big Brother disk checker today. Im still using BB version 1.5a - so this was pretty straightforward. Since the df command spans multiple lines in RedHat distros (possibly others) when using LVM, something has to be done to join the disparate lines, or things break ...
