Vacation beckons!

Vacation beckons!

Just so you know: I will be out on vacation from July 6-16, 2001. No updates or replies to emails during that time. Hang in there; I’ll get caught up when I get back!

Back from Vacation

Back from Vacation

I’m back from vacation! Expect some more development on this site, and perhaps even something new (think ‘new site’), now that my Linux box is online at home. Special thanks to Civilme from Mandrake and Garrett from Pengiun Computing for their help on getting the…

New Home for this Site!

New Home for this Site!

This system is now running off my home machine. It wasn’t too big a job to get it going, but I’m certain that there are still some bugs to work out before it’s 100%.

Please bear with me!

This site is running off one of my home machines, a hardened Linux-Mandrake 8.0 PowerPack installation on a Pentium II/350 machine with 128 megs of memory and 6+ gigs of hard drive space.

It connects to the internet through Cincinnati Bell ZoomTown’s ADSL lines using ZoomService to automatically log on each time the machine is booted.

ZoomService also logs the IP address to YI.ORG, a re-director which is necessary since my ISP uses dynamic addressing. Each time the machine logs onto the Internet, a different IP address is given. Logging on to YI.ORG provides a consistent, easy-to-use way to make sure that DrewVogel.COM is always where you expect it to be.

Future enhancements may include migrating the actual DrewVogel.COM site to this hardware, provided that it can be done with a domain name and dynamic IP addresses…

New PHP-Nuke version — 5.01

New PHP-Nuke version — 5.01

I have just installed version 5.01 of PHP-Nuke. This version fixes some small bugs, and speeds up the sending of pages. Additionally, I have enabled output compression (using GZIP/zlib) on the server side, which should eek a little more speed out of transfers as well,…

We’ve connected to a couple of news sites (currently Digital Theatre, SlashDot, and FreshMeat) to provide additional content in the form of headlines for the site. Look to the right side-menu to see headlines from these sources, which are updated every 30 minutes (Digital Theatre…

Tribute CD Booklet & Tray Card ARRIVE!

In my hot little hands (well, actually, next to them so I can type) is the first complete Over The Rhine Tribute CD — “What It Takes To Please You”.

The booklet and tray card for the CD are completed and have arrived.

They look GREAT!

We’re really excited now that we’re in the home stretch. Check this site often for updates and ordering information!

DrewVogel.COM domain to transfer home

DrewVogel.COM domain to transfer home

I am working to transfer the domain name DREWVOGEL.COM to my home computer using TZO.COM. This will increase the speed of the system quite a bit, and allow me to learn more about the inner workings as well. Please bear with me during this move…
