twitter <--> wordpress
I remembered that I had a twitter account when I got some more follow requests the other day. I set up tweetie on my devices, and sent off some tweets to make sure all was well. You can follow me here folks. Next steps include setting up some kind of integration between wordpress and twitter that will allow tweets to show up here, or even have a tweet sent out automatically when a post is made. I am sure google can get me there.

Installing and configuring freeswitch: part 1
These instructions detail compiling and installing freeswitch under centos 5.x. It should be noted that this was done successfully under a xen vm hosted at linode.
yum -y install subversion autoconf automake libtool gcc-c++ ncurses-devel make
mkdir /usr/src/freeswitch
cd /usr/src/freeswitch
svn co http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/tags/1.0.2/
cd 1.0.2
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freeswitch
make
make install
make sounds-install
make moh-install
cd build
cp freeswitch.init.redhat /etc/init.d/freeswitch
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/freeswitch
useradd -c 'Freeswitch User' -s /sbin/nologin fsuser
vim /etc/init.d/freeswitch
FS_USER=fsuser
dacrib.net migration
I migrated dacrib.net from a shared hosting instance provided by a friend at hostrocket, to a xen instance on linode.com today. So far so good.
Things left to do:
1. set up a cron for offsite backups to somewhere else w/ rotation
2. make sure the gallery installation is still working, including admin section
3. update gallery install
4. test video portions of gallery install
5. fix mod_rewrite so pretty permalinks work
6. set up an open source PBX
7. set up fail2ban
HeatSync Mini-Client 2500
This is it folks. This is the case that we have been waiting for to build the HTPC of the next five years. There are no negatives here. It is completely fanless (read silent), yet can handle a modern Intel DG45FC mainboard with a 3GHz dual core processor and decent video card. I am convinced that a machine built on this can can fulfill all of your xbmc, mythfrontend, windows mce, blue ray playing, and gaming needs. There is nothing that the right setup in this case would not be able to handle in your living room, silently.

htop == a better top.
We all know and love table of processes or simply top. Its a common admin tool. I found a derivitive that I like better. All hail htop.
