What do you care about? What’s the core of your life? For me it’s relationships, for others I’ve noticed it can be food, music, sometimes it’ll be work but that’s rarely actually the case.

Zday 2017 – My Experience

Then 20 hour days (yes, only 4hrs sleep a night) trying to move out, putting most of my stuff into… Continue reading Zday 2017 – My Experience
LetsEncrypt / Certbot – Virtualhost vs VirtualHost
Certbot, formerly letsencrypt is a great tool for setting up SSL certificates on websites. I love being able to quickly, easily and for free, setup a HTTPS SSL (TLS) certificate.

Except when it… Continue reading LetsEncrypt / Certbot – Virtualhost vs VirtualHost

The thing is, I’ve had a weekly repeating Google Calendar entry about doing a weekly review for years, but it just said “Weekly Review”.… Continue reading Personal Weekly Review – 12 item list
PHP5.6 (or higher) on Ubuntu 14.04
Ubuntu 14.04’s official repo isn’t going to support PHP 5.6 or above. I’m currently on v5.5.9-1 and needed to move to a higher version for a Symfony PHP app I’m working on. Most googling shows you the outdated answer so here’s the commands that worked for me. sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo… Continue reading PHP5.6 (or higher) on Ubuntu 14.04
Synology NAS – Start with the smaller drives first
When you are setting up a Synology NAS, such as the 8 bay ( DS1815+ ) system I got, you’ll want to start with your smallest drive first and add larger ones over time. If you start with your biggest drive, you won’t be able to make use of the smaller ones. The reason is best… Continue reading Synology NAS – Start with the smaller drives first
Lets Treat Violence like a Contagious Disease
A number of years ago I watched Gary Slutkin’s TED talk on treating violence like a contagious disease and it has drastically changed the way I think about terrorist attacks, military war, police brutality, world peace and more. If you haven’t watched the presentation already I HIGHLY recommend you do. Actually the rest of the… Continue reading Lets Treat Violence like a Contagious Disease
