Bars vs Grocery Stores (100th Post)

webhank — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 21:31:41 +0000

Spring is here, so I am excited about bikes…which made me check out the Surly Blog, which is where I found this graphic, which made me laugh, which enticed me to re-post, which marked the 100th post on this blog.

I am not sure exactly where my neighborhood sits, but it’s quite possible we’re one of those red dots in Colorado.� I know for a fact that we only have one grocery store – I also know of a fact that there are 5 bars I can think of, although some of them serve food too – not sure how that effects the graphic.

I’ve kind of been a bit obsessed with these sites the past few weeks.

Media Temple Notes

You’ve configured open_basedir correctly to allow access to /usr/share/pear but to call the file correctly you can either call DB.php using the absolute path

/usr/share/pear/DB.php

or if you want to just use DB.php you will also need to modify include_path to use

/usr/share/pear

You can just include, include_path to the vhost where you added open_basedir. Something like

php_admin_value include_path “/usr/share/pear”

then run

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng –reconfigure-vhost –vhost-name=domain.com
Here are step by step instructions, on how to add an include path for your (dv) Dedicated Virtual 3.5 Extreme.

http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/514/(dv)+HOWTO%3A+Enable+PEAR%7B47%7DSet+open_basedir+and+include_path.

Also, you may need to modify your php.ini file.

Configuring the php.ini file on a DV requires the following.

1. Access to an SSH client.
(http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=016)
2. Basic knowledge of SSH commands
(http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=247)
3. And the root password.� Root access can easily be enabled using our Root Access and Developer Tools function in the Admin Section of the AccountCenter.

The most common parameters changed in the php.ini file are:

safe_mode
register_globals
max_upload_filesize
post_max_size
max_execution_time

Use the following command at the command prompt to start editing:

vi /etc/php.ini

If you are looking for a specific parameter and would like to go
straight there, type the following:

vi +/parameter /etc/php.ini

example: vi +/safe_mode /etc/php.ini

For more information on using the vi command, review kb article

Great day at Eldora

webhank — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 05:44:39 +0000

had a great day skiing at Eldora today – it was unseasonably warm (in the 40′s) and crowded, but the sun soften snow made tele’ turns pretty fun – next weekend I am going to take a Tele lesson at Loveland (i need someone to help curb a few of the bad habits i’ve developed over the past several years). I can’t wait to see the hopeful improvement (and ski loveland’s bowls after the clinic)

Go Lite Semi-Annual Warehouse Sale

webhank — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:31:13 +0000

We’ve decided to camp out for the Go Lite sale.� Sometime this evening Chad and I are going to drive over to the warehouse and camp out.� In 34 years, I’ve never done anything like this…so it should be fun, albeit, admittedly geeky.� I might have to pick up a new book to read this evening.

Paul and Emily indicated they might participate in the absurdness of it all – could be fun.

here’s a link http://www.golite.com/sale/default.htm

Maybe I will post “live photos”.
