Moved back in with my Parents??

No, no, no. Not me. The web site moved. After some pain and some gain, I have successfully migrated this web site to my dad’s web server. I’m still using the same name, all of the adjustments have been done. It was lots of fun, actually, because I had to renew my linux skills in configure Apache, installing PHP and MySQL, and migrating databases. The photo album was the biggest part of the move, but it was no sweat thanks to the scp command. With the server change, I thought the layout needed redone. I didn’t really have time to work out a new design so I just went with a template I found on WordPress.com. Yeah, I didn’t design this layout but I think it’ll work until I make a new one sometime this year. I did have to make some adjustments to this one to get my logo up and the photo album working sanely in Firefox.

The main reason for the move was that 1.) Kirby’s a bit loud in the storage room 2.) the cabinet that he’s sitting on is starting to wean itself from the wall, and 3.) we want to give the kids their own computer for some educational software. Kirby’s not much in power but it should be quite enough for them. It won’t be hooked up to the Internet so I’m not too worried about the security and wacky issues. Maybe later on, but not now. Once I get all of the data off or backed up, I can reformat and set it up for them.

Otherwise, the web site’s up and running again, hopefully faster and a little more reliable. Alas to Kirby, though. He’s in for some remodeling.

    Both kids have moved back in — one physically, and the other virtually. What is this empy nest syndrome I’ve been hearing about? I don’t mind hosting Adam’s site since he helps out with the admin stuff and I’m still a bit Linux-challenged. And if the grandkids need Internet access, there’s always Papa’s computers.
