Boston in December is chillier then in November, however that is not really an issue when you spend a week there and don’t even have to go outdoors. There were a lot of people who never left the venue all week. I would be one of them this time around. While I’d usually check out some of the local scenery, I had a few lingering items to take care of the first few nights I was there and then free time vanished.
This evening we had a free-for-all night. No formal agenda, but rather open discussion and a lot of tidbits. Here is a list of things that were mentioned.
We also tried out a discount LED projector which was surprisingly good. I don’t remember the actual model, but it was roughly 4000 lumens and something similar is available from projectordudes.com if you are interested. I’m considering getting one as you never know when you might need one and the price is quite good.
The site logo has gotten decidedly squished. I am aware and it probably has something to do with the fix I had to make for the downloads. Why it is an issue, I do not know, but I am aware of it and will be correcting it in the near future.
Of course it doesn’t happen on the test server, so it must be something specific to the server on the production site. Investigation in progress.
Last night we had the June LOPSA/ovSAGE meeting. It was a good talk as far as feedback goes and interest level. The slides will be available in the usual location. I’ll also detail the extra bit I did at the end of the talk as well as provide some code and an example of what it would have ended up like if we had continued on.
But first, how does that tagging thing work? Oh yeah…
There was some confusion after the April meeting on how one gets all of this working and obtaining a better security score. This is not an exhaustive treatment of the topic, it deals specifically with the gererically installed Apache on the 64bit ubuntu droplet from Digital Ocean. The lesson is transferrable to pretty much anything else, but you should decide what you need. This is a demonstration server that will vanish.
