For awhile now, I’ve had my Garden Cam up and running but I wanted a photo gallery that wasn’t a pain to maintain or setup. I also needed it to auto detect directories and photos. I stumbled across SFPG (Single File Photo Gallery) which does just that! (more…)

You’re familiar with the term cloud right?… If not, I’m sure you have heard of Dropbox, Box, Google Drive… etc. These are all Cloud services, they store your data on a server that is accessible from anywhere. So, what I’m going to do, is create my own using OwnCloud and an Ubuntu Server I have (currently it sits and runs PyTivo.. That’s a different blog post 
) (Edit: Yes I am aware of Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Server.. I will look at installing and playing with this.)
Bash Scripts.

I run a web server that contains multiple websites and multiple SQL databases. I decided to use bash scripts to manage my backup’s and for any file restores that were needed. I know the argument will be, “Why bash scripts? there are software options that do the same thing”. The answer is, I couldn’t find one that fit my specific needs and so I decided to write something that fit my needs.

Well, the auction to get the domain ends in about 10 days. They are asking $100 dollars for the domain, which is a little steep. I offered $25 dollars and so far, I am the only person to bed. I started at 10 dollars and then 19 dollars and now 25 dollars.. With 10 days to go in the auction I would think they would realize that nobody else will bid on this domain and cave in. Besides.. I’m not paying 100 dollars for a domain.
So.. Merval.Org

So I re-launched merval.org the other day and I really don’t know what I want to do with it.. I did not own the domain for several years as some guy bought it up the moment I allowed it to expire, I didn’t have the money to renew it. When I did enough money to renew the domain I contacted the guy who bought it (or a secretary of the guy.. it was weird) . He was asking me for 500 dollars to buy the domain back. Had I REALLY generated that much buzz in the prior 3 years I owned the domain? hardly. I think I had something like 200 – 400 unique hits a month. Which isn’t anything to write home about.
