Penguicon 2017

It's been quite some years since I've attended, but the wife and I are headed to Penguicon 2017 in Michigan this weekend! The last time I attended, I also gave a talk on MythTV. Unfortunately, my current employer prohibits speaking engagements, free or paid, on topics within my field of employ, which happens to be IT, without prior approval. Not sure it's worth the effort to obtain approval to give a talk, so I'll be simply attending this time around. But, on a positive not, it'll be my wife's first actual Penguicon! She went with me last time, but did not actually attend and kept busy doing other things. This time out, she's an actual attendee as well. So excited to make it back, and for her to attend her first con!

The truth is out there!

The X-Files is coming back!

Fixed images?

The site from the old backups had all files in the root folder of the site, while the current iteration has everything except the index under "/blog/," which is what caused the images in all the old posts to be broken. I've just copied the folder in question to root and all is fine. I probably could have create a mod_rewrite rule to handle the location difference, but it's not really worth thinking about if there's such a simple solution ;)

Ghosts of Ohio

The Ghosts of Ohio posts were part of the backups I restored yesterday! I thought I was going to have to type them in here again. I'm so happy that they're there :) Images in the posts are broken, but I have them. I just have to restore them to the correct location to get them to display.

Old backups

So, I was playing around and discovered an old backup of the site. I restored it to my server, exported the posts, re-imported the posts, and... Holy crap! The site has some history to it again!

Fn Keys

I've owned a Lenovo notebook for awhile now, and have been using it for work since I got it, but one thing that's driven me nuts about it is the the Fn hotkeys are active by default, and you have to press Fn to use the actual function keys. This isn't so bad itself, but one of the keys is "Airplane mode," and I'm constantly bumping the thing and disconnecting from my WiFi while I'm working, which boots me off my VPN and I have to log back in every time. This usually happens when it's most inconvenient, so I finally got fed up with it and discovered a bios setting to disable hotkeys by default, so I have to hold Fn to activate them, and the function keys actually work as function keys. Yay! No more accidental airplane mode! :)
