Doing a web design contract for now. I need a real job. Bah.
Also, passphrases are considerably easier to remember over long periods of time. I still remembered the one for this site. It's impressive.
Oh, right, I have an account here. Still master, for no reason. Sigh.
Much has changed in my life, but you don't care. I see there's still a lot of pro-war bullshit in the diaries, so I'll probably avoid reading them for another few months.
I'd also forgotten how ugly the Advogato layout is. Yick.

Spent a couple of hours today trying to figure out why apache mysteriously stopped after an upgrade. AFAICT, I needed to have the order of two statements switched in httpd.conf. Very confusing. The worst part was that it was completely silent when dying. Ah well, fixed now.
I have now learned to use apt_preferences to pin packages at certain releases. Now I need to code up a cron job to figure out when those are updated, so I can schedule a mass-upgrade session.
I pinned both apache and exim, since I've had problems with both in the recent past(both config file things!), and I'm trying to run a pseudo-production server here. Hmm, I should pin mailman too. [done]. Nothing else is as critical as those packages.
Update: there were(are?) still some problems with my apache configuration. I got images working again, and allowed IDS to be executed. Bah, I say. Does anybody know exactly WTF happened to make apache so unhappy with me? Did it suddenly start obeying some guidelines that it was ignoring before?
Has anyone else noticed how a lot of the cool 'new' features of the winXP desktop are copied from Gnome/KDE/every other linux WM. Hmm, those evil linux hippies must have stolen them from the pre-pre-pre-alpha release of XP!
