Webalizer Backwards as Designed

March 23, 2003

Webalizer has been being it’s usual pain here at the vast Richards web empire. (Sorry too much news-speak this week). Besides all the usual failures to run with a terse “I won’t” left in the log, I’ve been getting the same statistics on all the sites, something that’s obviously wrong. Well, I’ve got it set [...]

Checking on the seedlings

March 21, 2003

The Double Blue Picotee that I started seems to be doing pretty well. I seem to be seeing the start of “true leaves” on these guys, not just the seed leaves. What I don’t know about these is how I should treat them. Do you pinch them off when they get leggy, even if they [...]

Handspring USB hiccough

March 20, 2003

We discovered something cute this week: Lisa’s Handspring visor will only hotsync if it is plugged into the bottom USB port of her Thinkpad. We haven’t tried serial, but IR doesn’t work either. The machines see each other but the Palm software doesn’t run. However if you plug it into the correct port it works [...]

One more order

March 18, 2003

The jollies called me to tell me there was a problem with my order. It seems that the ivy geranium that I ordered don’t fit into the same size box as the other five I ordered, so I could either change the order or pay a partial box penalty of $16. That’s a hard decision! [...]

Moveable Type Has a Big Head

March 17, 2003

Besides this one, we have several Moveable Type blogs here at the vast Richards site complex. Since things are still coming up, I’ve been using the default template and planning to upgrade ‘someday’. Well, ‘someday’ came for Notes from Zone 4, and I got very confused when changes to the CSS stylesheet wouldn’t appear on [...]

Buying Plugs

March 16, 2003

I’m too worried about the seeds I started to think I’m going to have enough to fill all of my window boxes. Some of them are doing great, but some have been complete failures, so I’m panicking. To help the panic, I placed an order with the Jollies for six trays of plugs and cuttings, [...]

Linksys 8 port switches lock up

March 16, 2003

Another power failure today. And the little 10/100 switch on my desk didn’t come back up. You know the one with both the firewall and the DHCP server plugged into it. Fortunately the mail and web servers are in the outer bailey, so they kept going. But nobody’s desktop could get out. Eventually I got [...]
