I had A few issues during my ISP upgrade. DNS change didn’t take place right away. Because the upgrade went from 10mbps to 20mbps this pointed me to new hardware so of course needed new static ip.addresses since I’m pointing to a different set of routers at the ISP with a different bank of ip.addrresses.

Finally after insuring that my funky setup of routers and hubs and wires with my mix of systems was correct I went and finally connected with someone at my ISP and found that my MAC address was connected to more than one ip.address! They corrected that on their end and on my end I placed […]

I had left some file manager windows open on my Linux web server for a few days and they were consuming my memory. I only had two file manager windows open! I’m using the Gnome desktop and the file manager’s name is Nautilus. I just recently started using the file manager in Linux. Nice point […]

I have upgraded to Movabletype 3.2 blog software on my Linux webserver. I am also trying the new StyleCatcher plugin so I will be changing blog styles back and forth for a while so bear with me as I tweak the site. This is going to be on an intermittent basis as I have other […]

Replaced the boot drive and the primary drive where I keep the music files on my primary music server system. I am now up and running on my backup music server that’s a bit slower with fewer resources. I am as always running SCSI but now that all drives on the primary music server come […]

Next week I will be upgrading the Music Server. I already have most of the hardware I decided to get order one more drive for the music and then will reinstall. I will have larger capacity and faster boot and media hard drives, the best of both worlds. I’m even playing with the idea of […]

Had a brief power outage after going to bed seems my UPS went out. I had lost total power to routers, hubs and systems. I did not go to bed until about 3am so did not get up and go into the computer room until close to 9am and then went to work getting every […]

I added some new tracks to the mix. I was able get some older tracks digitized along with the current tracks in the mix. Quite a few tracks that were only in 12″ vinyl I now have digitized in the mix. I have a ton of music on vinyl that was not played on popular […]
