I was sure I had posted about this, but I guess I never finished or I dreamed about it. Pretty much the same thing I would guess.
The event was October 13 in Toronto and had a pre-conference part the night before as well as a post conference party. I skipped the pre-conference party as I was visiting my brother and it would have been pretty rude to drop in and say “Here’s my junk, I’ll see you later.”
It seems that there is a caching module that causes issues when coupled with the database, anonymous users and certain pages. That may be the reason there have been problems logging in, logging out and posting. I have disabled the site cache (and we’ll see if it works).
Another post where I have no idea who wrote it.
Today I went and bought a new monitor (LG L245W 24", 1920x1200, picture-in-picture capable) and a 500 GB external USB drive.
The monitor is great - it worked after a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg on my Debian Sid system.
The hard disk came pre-formatted for NTFS. I’m contemplating the number and sizes of partitions, once I’ve decided that then it will be reformatted to use ext3. I’m going to use it for backups. It’s not an ideal backup device, but it’s better than no backup device which is where I was before.
FYI…
PRESS RELEASE
Toronto, Ontario - 09 October 2007: Ontario Linux Fest holds its inaugural conference in Toronto, Ontario at the Toronto Congress Centre at 650 Dixon Road on Saturday, October 13, 2007.
Free Software leaders including Jon ‘maddog’ Hall of Linux International, Theodore Ts’o of IBM and Louis Suarez-Potts of OpenOffice.org and many others are presenting topics of interest to Linux and Open Source enthusiasts and the general public alike. Learn about the latest innovations in computer software, flexible telephony, software freedom and your rights, and meet the luminaries who are revolutionizing our digital world.
Like it says, it was Sunday night when I started doing maintenance for all the websites I make the attempt to look after. I have to find out why the webalizer software insists on messing with one of my sites. I may just have to turn it off, as it isn’t really useful for these sites.
Looks like a busy week coming up, interview call tomorrow (yeah, I know it’s Thanksgiving), and I have a bunch of stuff to do for my current employer before the end of the month. That should keep me busy for the next 4 (or so) weeks. Friday will be a day off, as I’m going to spend the weekend with my brother, well part of it, as I’m attending linuxfest on Saturday and that should be a full day. That makes for a 3 day week. That will be kind of nice for a change.
