Apache/Ubuntu

Ubuntu, because a PC is a terrible thing to waste

Apache configuration finally all set with Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS.

Virtual hosting at my fingertips.  Stored in the garage. Dont look like much, does it, but when it’s on, the lights dim in the city. I would haVe had more fun with D850 NIkon, but what the hell.

coding, abbreviations, and logarithms

So much time and so little to do.  Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

Open-source programming language. Stuck at home things to do. Need help with your online stores or databases, send me a note.  A little code goes a long way.  E-Commerce Website in PHP & MySQL.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

Christmas cactus (updated)

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

In spite of what you may have heard, Christmas cactus is a lot more drought tolerable. This one was neglected for months without water. I thought it was a lost cause. There were spider webs between the appendages. A year ago, I would water it enough to moisten the soil. Let it completely dry out and moisten again. Indirect sunlight a few hours a day. With all the turmoil and apprehension surrounding us, It was pleasurable to wake to a beautiful bloom.

Other side of town

“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.”– Carl Sagan

A clown puts his makeup on upside down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown

I’m across the river on the other side of town
In my mind I’m on the other side of town

Light years ago. Back home

Not quite Dighton,  but any port in a storm. Tawny Port maybe.

4.5+ billion years old, still looks good. 

 

A Wild Turkey’s “beard” is the tuft that looks a bit like a miniature horsetail dangling from its breast. Year-old males have beards up to about five inches long, while toms three or more years old can have beards that are 10 inches or longer. Rarely, a tom will have one primary beard and one or two smaller beards just above it.
