Remember this page? It brings back so many memories.

I had a lot of fun writing up articles, tweaking the indecipherable php and shooting videos with my brother. I’m still looking around for the energy drink video which is definitely on one of my hard drives. It wasn’t a very good video, but this pancake one that you see on the homepage here was pretty damn funny.

Currently, I only have a few posts from the old blog transferred over to the new one but the goal is to get it all over here. I had XAMPP running on my desktop under Windows 7 RC and was in the process of transferring content (and designing a site for my aunt) when my Gigabyte EP45UD3R mobo went out on me. It would get to the memory initialization, then reboot and continue that loop. It’s been three weeks and I haven’t heard anything from Gigabyte yet, so expect an article on that soon.

So in the meantime, I’ve been using my HP NX6125 (Turion64 ML-37 / RadeonXPress 200M / Broadcom WLAN, GBit Lan) for pretty much everything. I have another desktop, but I don’t really feel like screwing around with it since it’s so dated (2002). As you can tell by the screenshot, I’m running Ubuntu, Jaunty to be specific. I tried importing the database and setting up the site on the latest xampp package, but MemHT is just too crappily written and relies on so many deprecated PHP functions that it didn’t even work right. I had to install xampp version 1.6.5a from a couple years ago to get it working right. I also had to modify my /etc/hosts file to serve freshme.at and www.freshme.at so I could use the site since the author thought it would be wise to use url’s when he could have used relative links. What a genius.

Well, I’ll have more content ported over soon plus a plethora of new posts that I’ve been waiting to write. There’s just so many ideas and so little time. I don’t even know which one to start with, but I do know I have a math test to study for so I think I’m going to get back to that!
