Had a terrible time last night (on arrival in Amsterdam) getting online: like in Groningen wired internet didn't work, and aparently I'd never used Tine (new laptop) via wireless here yet, so that didn't work either. Neither did my n…

mk beer

#phew! transporting important data from Dennis to Tine - much harder than I expected because data structure on Tine is slightly different, resulting in tos of too-long filenames. :( Mostly done, but now I'm so tired I'd start to make…

mk Time Zone Appropriate Greetings , the federated universe , tempfix

On my way to Utrecht. That was a bit of a hassle: my (previously prepared) smoothie had started to ferment in the fridge, making a mess - when I'd cleaned that up, I'd lost 5 minutes. Luckily my bus was late, but made up the time on …

mk Time Zone Appropriate Farewell

Exciting times: last night I worked till after 3 am to get my data ready for my tax man. Before I even went to him I transferred sums out of some savings accounts to have it ready to pay the notary next week; that went well, it appea…

OK, most important step done: both (brand-new) HDs installed in the RAID box, attached by eSATA, and a refresh in GParteEd detects the device. Created a Swap partition and a 'home' partition. #phew (I nearly panicked because a drive …

mk Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca

@bobjonkman well, I finally got it working but that was *quite* involved; *I* was loading the parent stylesheet and it's 'dark' stylesheet, followed by my own child-theme stylesheet (I actually got that right) - but WP was then loadi…

#phew! I spent part of yesterday, and all of today since 7 hours to get the #Wordpress site on Hal (the NAS) working - some simple changes for security, but I had non-appearing errors that referred to pathig errors that I could not f…

@mk owait - something started working when I didn't specify to 'force ssl'. #phew

mk

had a slight bout of panic: for some reason I suddenly could not remember my password for lappy Dennis - even though I'd been using the machine intensively for about 7 months; and for some reason I'd never entered it in my KeePass da…

back from the disk repair adventure: in short: I turned off the RAID station, and put each of the two disks separately in the enclosure and then tested them by booting SystemRescueCd and running various tools. Disk 1 was fine (but mi…

mk the federated universe , majestyx

@majestyx @if @cmhobbs ultimately I found two good candidates that match my requirements - both with servers in Europe (necessary for speed): Memopal (1) - who only mention up to 500GB but tell me they can do more (just write!); and …

@mk first, an intermediate: try to REinstall virtualbox... no luck with that. So, UNinstall (this also takes virtualbox-qt and virtualbox-dkms with it) and REinstall by selecting *-dkms, which then wants the other two as well. The pro…

mk

sheesh! Even (or especially) an old Windows machine needs good anti-virus protection. I uninstalled Avast! from Marie because it was getting annoying; that left only Online Armor - basically a good firewall with some anti-malware prot…

#phew! I finally managed to get 'poor old Grace's drives out of their 5.25" Coolermaster cases - I thought I could just slide them out, but no, the whole thing was screwed together with 8 screws each, some of which were *very* tightly…

mk

#phew - another startup error in Synaptic solved: I had forgotten that when release name in sources.list is changed, it MUST also be changed in apt.conf - at least it didn't take me too long to figure it out (maybe there was a fleetin…

mk

Created a brand-new sources.list with the help of http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/ and my own notes - and now Aptitude starts up again! #phew

mk mk

@mk at last - success! the *beta* app miniDLNA is a UPnP server, minimal installation. And now with VLC the #NAS appears, and (a while later, have to have patience) a '+' appears and it's browsable. Select Arif Sag folder, select play…

@mk oh! I found it. I had hidden it under strawberries. #phew

mk

two more very heavy bags-full of recycleable paper transported to the container - #phew! Not finished with sorting/filing clippings: I found I had even more magazines to take clippings *from*, and I'm too tired by now. #tomorrow there'll be another chance!

so, I had even more HD grief: one pair of portable HDs that I use when traveling to copy photos to. I had a look at them because they have files that are not on my old Photos drive... only to find that a lot of files had errors (only …
