I just upgraded my worspress site using safari on an iPhone. Pretty neat. Just make sure your phone does not lock or press the home button.

Ok, I took the plunge and upgraded to WordPress 3 tonight. Looks like TentyTen will be my default theme for a while as I pick it apart.

Looks like Snow Leopard does not boot into a 64bit kernel by default. There are a couple of ways to get some 64bit goodness.

Friend of mine is taking a ride from AZ to Cape Cod and blogging about his adventure. Check out his site at: http://www.azweeks.com/.

Just a quick note of what I have in the hopper. SonicWall SSL-VPN NetExtender client configuration in Ubuntu. Migrating manager information from AD into EMC Infra (EMC Ionix). Scripting SQL Server maintenance plans for flexibility.

If you know me, then you know I am a fan of drum and bugle corps. After high school I marched for a number of years with the Harrisburg Westshoremen. Each year since the corps folded former members as well new members come together for the Westshoremen World Tour. This is my second year playing since returning from living out west.

Now this is interesting… My blog does not get too much traffic. I thought it was odd to get comments relating to my IT Room posting from the same person. I checked the IP address of 143.166.255.56 which is where the comment came from. Low and behold, this is an IP range from Dell. It looks like my suspicions were correct. It seems to me that the IT Room really is just a viral marketing campaign. I have seen similar instances where a company will hire a team of people to post on blogs to drum up traffic. That is really a shame, I was looking forward to a real web-tv-series that was not influenced by too much by outside sponsors.

I have been patiently waiting for the release of “The IT Room“. This is either going to be incredible or lame. I somehow get the feeling this is going to be some kind of marketing piece. We’ll see… 11:11pm is the release time.

I have two drives on my Mac and I wanted to hide the Time Machine drive. I have no need to access this drive and I wanted a cleaner desktop. I found some information online that lead me to a good method to perform the task.

I have been spending the evening looking at my fresh install of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5). It looks like PHP version 5.2.4 is installed by default. As of today, this is the latest version available. So far, the built in web server is not processing .php pages. I’ll look into that next.

UPDATE: Upgrading to 10.5.1 has resolved the issues displaying PHP pages.
