up_the_irons: ping?
I'm going to have to go back to centos 5.x,   centos 6.x is really unstable on this vps for some reason.
jpalmer: roger that
is anyone else running centos 6.x here?
I'm probably one of very few ARP customers who has moved his fbsd vps over to centos :P
hah
but a lot start at cent 5.x and upgrade
*nod*
i think im gonna need to downgrade. I literally use my VPS for screen and irssi and nothing else :P
FreeBSD 9.0 is officially out. http://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash.html#event20120112:01
freebsd 9.0 ftw
is their network still glitchy for anyone else? I'm getting some pretty high packet loss
Thanks, mike-burns!
so who's going to freebsd-update to 9.0 first? :-P
<-- ugprading my less important box

ugg.  I've been putting off learning HTML5,  and CSS3..  and now I've got a website idea I'd like to implement,  and sorta screed myself.
s/screed/screwed/
HTML5 / CSS3 is pretty neat.  the localStorage() feature of html5 / js is bitchen.  basically we can stop abusing cookies and actually have native client-side key/value storage
I'm going to have to find a decent tutorial or book.  I'd like to build a basic website for southwest florida traffic using some of the Waze API's.   it took me like 20 minutes to setup 2 iframes in valid HTML5 syntax..  and thats with using tables instead of CSS.  hehe
nice
to give you an idea,  I didn't even realize the <foo></foo>   syntax changed to <foo />
swfl-traffic.com  ugly,  but works.  I'll dig into html5 and css a bit..  and prettify this.
wow, u r behind
;)
<foo /> started like 5 years ago
eventually,  I'm thinking I'll build a drupal theme around the "traffic in my area" concept.  so people can just grab the drupal theme,  taylor it to their area,  and enable things like forums and whatnot to build a "community" site
nice
I'll take the initial stab at the waze/drupal theme.  then I'll stick it on github and see if I can garner some interest/contributions.
jpalmer: i've started using wordpress for all my web sites and the thesis theme (not free) to customize/design them
I'm not a big wordpress fan, unless I'm doing a blog site
it may have gotten better over time..  but, it left a bad taste in my mouth a few years ago.
*shrug* it's amazingly flexible
actually..  rather than be blindly biased,  I'll give it a go.

I think there are more themes for wordpress than any other CMS
can wordpress do multi-site installs?  ie,  abunch of sites pointed at one webroot,  and serving different themes/content/etc?
that is the one thing of drupal that I really like.   and would miss it if wordpress can't do it.  (run dozens of sites,  from one install that you have to maintain.. rather than dozens)
looks like it can.  going to read up on the multisite features.   thanks for the idea.
yeah, i know that it can but i haven't done it so i don't know the details
i think they call it a "network" (stupid term, imo)
yeah.  as long as I can serve an entirely different theme and content for different domains from one install..  I'll give it a whirl.  so far though,  multisite looks to be fore a domain, and multiple subdomains.
