I work with Linux most days, and run it on pretty much all my desktops. So the a few days back I was feeling a bit jaded about doing the same old stuff and started Googling for some interesting things to do. I saw lots of posts about desktop related stuff, but not so much server side things. The goal is fun a play here… with a bit more effort I came up with the following ideas Read more…

Some of you may know where I work, which explains some of the more technical of my posts here. I recently completed a couple of cool scripts to set up these two web applications. Head on over to the RimuHosting blog and check the scripts out!

• Confluence Wiki install script…
• Jira Issue tracker install script…

Disclaimer/shameless plug: I work there, the server plans are great .

Getting started with Xen http://wiki.debian.org/Xen

Xen and qcow on lvm is a pain, use kpartx to present file-systems and test boot of those before migrating to raw lvm images

In the recent past I’ve had some helpful feedback on how this blog is loading and/or bits that a busted. Thanks to all who offered their observations and suggestions. That is most appreciated.

A while back I started using the Producer theme, which seemed to work great and had lots of nice features. Unfortunately those features have seemed a bit buggy or unusable on occasions, and reports of the site loading slowly or inconsistently were the last straw.  So I’ve reverted back to the iNove theme I used before, which provides a great middle ground between features and simplicity. And just works out of the box.

I hope that will be helpful to all you faithful visitors out there who keep coming back, thanks again…
