So much going on, no time to write! I have so much I want to write about, I just need to get my notes together and go for it…

Took me a few hours to figure out that when I got:

“child exited with status 13 /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Trac-0.11.5-py2.6.egg/trac/web/fcgi_frontend.py”

The problem was that I needed to chmod a+x /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Trac-0.11.5-py2.6.egg/trac/web/fcgi_frontend.py

a+x might be a bit lenient, but it works now. When I rebuilt my ports the permissions changed to 644, which makes sense. Trac is back in working order now, although my fullblog plugin is acting up. Seems like a simple issue though…

When we moved to a new apartment, I took my FreeBSD DNS server with us. We couldn’t get internet set up until today (about a month! – it was a nightmare) but I was using the DNS to ease our little network’s file and printer sharing. Even though we only have a few computers, it’s better to be able to refer to them by name. It took us about a month to get an internet connection, but I expected that once I configured the wireless router everything else should “just work” as it did before.

Well it almost worked out that way… seems I forgot to change the forwarders in my named.conf to reflect my new ISP’s DNS server. My local DNS server handles internal DNS requests for us and it also acts as a caching server to help speed things up. Without valid forwarders configured, each lookup for a URL that wasn’t already in the cache seemed to take forever! In fact, some lookups failed, and when I checked with nslookup, I would get “no servers can be found”. After looking around the net for a while, I decided to check named.conf one more time… and yeah… still had my old ISP’s DNS server listed in the forwarders section…

Check out my giglio sunday photo gallery. If you don’t know what a giglio is – check out The Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast Home Page and The Giglio USA page I’ve been going just about every year since I was a baby – it’s a family tradition (and I’m not even Italian!). You should come next year!

Have you checked out the …And I Quote: section? It’s got some pretty cool stuff ! =)

Yesterday all servers in the U.S. went out on strike in a bid to get more RAM and better CPUs. A spokes person said that the need for better RAM was due to some fool increasing the front-side bus speed. In future, busses will be told to slow down in residential motherboards.
