Wow, that’s a mouthful of adjectives to describe the location of the problem.. Let me explain.  I just finished setting up a multi-site wordpress install for the first time(which means, combined with my drupal sites, that I’m finally a man) and a little problem arose where all of the links to the posts on the

I first saw this in action when I setup wordpress on a shared host after running it on my dedicated server for years.  All of a sudden when I clicked ‘install’ there was no FTP prompt, the bloody thing just installed!  I was amazed at this new development and looked into how it was done.

Wow, a 2 day hellish experience has finally come to an end.  My CPU usage spiked up to 100% from 20% 3 days ago for no apparent fault of my own, IE: nothing had been done to or changed on the server at all.  The techs at my hosting company just assumed it was wordpress

Well after 3 days of trying to track down why the sites on this shared account we’re taking up 100% of the cpu usage of a pretty beefy server I narrowed it down to one of my wordpress installs being compromised (Update your WP installs kids!).  Before I knew it was because of this I

Yet another area where I rejoice for being a linux user as this shit is sooo much easier and faster in linux than it is in windows using a completely unnecessary GUI.  There are two ways to do this but I’ve always found that ffmpeg works best over mplayer.. However I’ll post both of them

Well I’ve been a long time supporter of transmission but I finally had to throw in the towel today..  At first I thought it was my network issues but upon fixing the issues and loading up my much anticipated torrents from etn.fm i was still getting zero downloads.  Booooerns!  I ran some network tests and

This has been plaguing me ever since I switched from Ubuntu to Debian and to be honest the wireless performance wasn’t all that hot in Ubuntu either.  For the record this is on an AMD E350 which has a Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter in it.  There has been a myriad of problems since
