travis' brain dump

Ok, after an intense afternoon/evening of issues all across the board with this server, its updated to the latest and greatest FreeBSD! (6.1)

A proper shoutout to the developers of the OS as it’s install was perfect… now to the open source community that just changes how things function and interact without some proper documentation somewhere as to how someone is supposed to get the same functionality they had in a previous minor version of software… you people can kiss my ass. Thanks to you, I spent 4 extra hours trying to figure out why my sendmail wouldn’t authenticate with saslauthd, why my php extensions for apache weren’t working and why bind wouldn’t crank up correctly… (the bind thing was actually sort of easy, so at least that wasn’t a total waste of my time)

However, despite the fact that some open source developers need babysitters to keep them in line, the features and the functionality (once working) is awesome. So, despite that fact I’d like to slap some of them, they also deserve a hug. lol So, we’re running on the latest apache, latest php, older mysql, but thats because i didn’t want to deal with database problems yet… lol and a whole lot of other upgrades… good stuff.

So, i totally stayed up until 3am playing halo with Jesse this morning… what was I thinking? woke up at 11am though which was fun… Arwen let me sleep in only because she is sleeping herself still… she’s picked up a little bug again and had a fever last night, oh well – she’s got my immune system it seems – sleep for 18 hours and bam you’re healed! lol she should be surfacing around 3pm or 4pm ready to rock, i hope.

it’s overcast today… i kinda like it. it means it wont get much above the 75 it is right now and there’s a chance of rain… yay! i think i will be completely lazy today… just sit around in a tank top and some sweat pants playing video games… i’m hungry though… well, its never too late for cornedbeef hash and eggs… (lol) i think i’ll whip some up and see how arwen’s feelin about eating… typically she’ll eat like a horse whenever shes on the recovery track. i dunno… ugh debating it all right now…

anyway, i need to go make myself productive in some fashion or maybe get into some sort of trouble :)
