 I've moved everything to a new server, which has a newer version of mysql than the old one did. As such, some things are broken - namely the files at this point in time.
I'm probably going to switch blog software soon anyway, since this software is constantly barraged by spammers trying to post articles and gain user accounts anyway. Check back soon for the files!

| I have upgraded my firewall/NFS/backup server here at my office and had to move my subversion repos as well. Read on for instructions on how to easily do this.

| Anaconda has a bug in the version released with Cent5 and Cent5.1 (and I imagine RHEL5 and RHEL5.1 as well). The process is not terribly hard, but annoying if nothing else. I've posted a patched copy of the stage2.img file that has anaconda all patched up to allow you to copy files from an installation CD to the installed system during the kickstart phase. It's in the downloads section.

I installed a new MythTV box for my living room the other day, and wanted to use a RCA Universal RCR815 remote (purchased at Walmart for $15 or so) for everything. I'm uploading my lircrd.conf file and myth config file for the buttons for others who may want to use the same remote. LIRC and this remote are kinda scarce on the 'net. Read some more below.

| It's been a while since I have posted. I finished remodeling the kitchen (finally - ripped the old floor up and started over) and my wife is 9 months pregnant with our son so things have been hectic to say the least.
Anyway, I'm getting ready to travel for work again and one thing that has been bugging me has been the whole keeping my desktop info sync'ed with my laptop issue. I use the crap out of SVN, and have also fallen in love with Tomboy. Problem is, I use it on both machines so the data is out of date. The new version has the option to sync via WebDAV or SSH, but the new version won't be available for Ubuntu until the next Ubuntu release. I know, I know. I release stuff for Redhat/Fedora, why do I run Ubuntu on my systems? Another time maybe.
Long and shot is I searched for a .deb to upgrade with (without having to upgrade the WHOLE distro) and came up short. I decided to whip my own up, with thanks to ryno519 for pointing me to a forum post that explained how to make Ubuntu .deb files. I know I probably screwed a few fields up, but it does work. I installed the .deb on my laptop and had no issues (yet). Anyway, it's in the Downloads section for those that want it.

| I recently upgraded my systems for the new Schedules Direct update and was pleasantly surprised to see that Ubuntu had fixed MythWeather in their repo. A search on the MythDora forums gleaned no fix for that distro so I took the Ubuntu package and alien'ed it to an RPM. I had to 'rpm -e --nodeps mythweather' to get the original version removed and then installed the converted version. You could probably just restart the frontend to get it to work, but I did a full reboot myself. After that the weather plugin actually supplies data now! The file is in the downloads section for those that want to try it out.
As a note: I've heard that the mythweather-revamp package violates weather.com's EULA, so be warned!

 For those that don't know, AOL has been rotating their MX servers several times a day now - I can only imagine that it's because of a comment made last week on the Spamassassin mailing list about moving your MX records around and creating "false" entries to help cut down on spam. Yeah... Anyway, since I use smtproutes to get mail to AOL users (always fails a CNAME lookup) this can get broken in a hurry. I wrote a script that will do a MX lookup, and then replace your current ISP entry (it's a variable so it can be used for any ISP, not just AOL) with the one that was just looked up. Hopefully this will help others out there as well. The file is in the downloads section.

| I was passed along another minor bug with RoundCube. If you do not allocate enough memory to PHP, you will not be able to open attachments. I've updated my script to ask for permission first, then it will up the allocated memory to 48M, from the default 8M. The new script is online, and is located at the link for the original script.
On a side note, I'll be releasing a new version of QTP on Monday. In case you didn't know, you can get this at qtp.qmailtoaster.com

| I had some weird Trac issues with the QTP server, so I had to rebuild the QTP package from the SVN checkout I had on my laptop. Not that big of a deal, but the website was down for a few days until I got time to work on it. It's back up new with a new look (qtp.qmailtoaster.com). I also redid the QMT-ISO site in the same theme (thanks to Nick Hemmesch for the QMT website to use), and I put a new version of the ISO out to include Cent 4.5 packages. I'll probably be adding new features to the QTP package instead of the ISO package in the future, since QTP is installed with the ISO anyway.
Got good stuff coming there too. Stay tuned for more info on that!

| Been busy with work lately. Got a couple new projects I'm working on and I'm expanding my business into consumer web hosting, so that has kept me busy for a little while.
I finally got around to setting up a subversion repo on my home server for all my scripts and notes. I came across a neat package that adds a SVN menu to Nautilus which will come in handy for me. Read more for the Ubuntu install notes.
