Inanis.net

Inanis.net is now running WordPress 2.7, in case anyone wanted to know. I am sorry I haven’t gotten to any of the comments or email lately More »

Sorry about the server problems folks. Either someone is playing a game of “Denial Of Service” on me, or the Inanis.net webserver has hardware issues.

The hardware will be replaced shortly.

UPDATE:

#define EPIPE           32 /* Broken pipe */

A process gets EPIPE when it tries to write to a pipe (or socket) when the process at the other end has closed the connection.

Bad network card? Bad network equipment between the server and the Internet? More things to look into.

UPDATE 2: Server hardware replaced. Seems much faster and more stable now, but I think there is a firewall and/or switch issue causing dropped connections to the server. This is somewhat out of my control but I will stay on top of it…

Voyager 2 has to be one of the most amazing pieces of technology ever built. Launched over 30 years ago, the thing is still operational, responsive, and sending back data about the farthest outer reaches of our solar system.

It brings a warm feeling to my heart; technology that was created in a time when engineering was more about getting it right and less about doing it in a monetarily efficient way.

Float on, little Voyager.

Read about it.

I told you about it before, but I am too excited for words. Here’s something better than human speech…

More pictures and a Museum entry as time allows…

The software is stellar. It is my favorite web server platform, period. It’s fast. It’s reliable. It blows all other Linux distros out of the water for personal style web serving and desktop Linux use. Well, in my opinion.

The LAMP server has almost everything you need ready to go from the start. Getting a Wiki or WordPress blog running out of the box is a piece of cake. No, easier than cake. It’s like breathing. Yes. Serving pages with Ubuntu is like breathing.

The community support is excellent. If I have a problem with Ubuntu, all I have to do is type, even vaguely, a 5 word description of my problem or even just the task I want to accomplish, and someone out there has had the same problem and had it fixed by a Linux or Ubuntu guru.

I Ubuntu.
