Dear lazyweb, I'm having severe issues with Apache's mod_rewrite on my VPS. I'm pretty sure what I want to do is doable, but I can't figure out the rewrite rules to allow it.

In my httpd.conf I have something similar to this:

<IfModule mod_dav.c>
    LimitXMLRequestBody 131072
    DavLockDB /var …

So this past Wednesday I started on finishing up the second sleeve (my right arm). Unfortunately, with my wife's new business, she's been too busy to take pictures and I'm not one of these "take pictures of yourself in the mirror" guys. So I'm going to shamelessly link to my …

I recently purchased the HighPoint RocketU 1144AM PCI-E 2.0 x4 Quad-Port USB 3.0 Raid card for my Mac Pro. Since most external drives you buy these days are USB3, and the Mac Pro only has (and perhaps only every will have, if the rumour mill is true) USB2 …

So I had about a week and a half off this year around Christmas. My initial plans were to do the family things one normally does around Christmas time, and there was plenty of that... visits with the parents and in-laws, dinners and whatnot. Too much food as usual, but …

So today I spent a lot of time manually merging the annvix.org mediawiki data into my linsec.ca wiki (in a new Annvix namespace). There are some various automated tools and mediawiki import/export stuff, but I didn't have a lot in terms of pages so taking a few …

The blog is going all new, which means it'll probably change over the next few days as I find time to tweak it and make it look the way I want it to. I like the theme I've got at the moment, but it needs some more personalization, so keep …
