PHProblems!
A recent server upgrade (to Ubuntu 16.04) that included PHP 7.0 seems to have broken WordPress. I’m working on it!

Linux on Windows 10
The latest Fast Ring Insider Preview build of Windows 10 (14316) includes the new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) that Microsoft announced at their Build conference last week. I have to admit, I kind of enjoy being able to open a bash prompt on my PC and using Linux commands to interact with the file system, …
Waking the Wily Werewolf
I’m not sure how I let late October pass by without upgrading my Linux server! Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) was released back on October 22 and somehow (still not sure how) I completely missed it. So today I did the first ‘do-release-upgrade’ on the NUC (since I clean installed Vivid back in July). This one was pretty smooth, …
Building the PiDP-8
I’m a computer guy, and while I’m not quite old enough to have first-hand experience with classic golden age hardware like the PDP-8, I spent a good deal of time in college working on the VAX, still own my first computer, and have an appreciation for those forefathers of the amazing PCs and servers we use …
Intel NUCs
Since getting my standing desk at home last last year I’ve been thinking about getting a new, smaller PC that would fit on top of my desk instead of under it (like my old Dell Inspiron from 2008), eliminating cable clutter. With the upcoming release of Windows 10 I had been thinking more about this and also replacing …
From Vegas to Vivid Vervet
It’s late April which means time for another Ubuntu upgrade … 15.04, Vivid Vervet. I downloaded the new release via “do-release-upgrade -d” last Friday, which took about 2 hours. Since I was leaving for Las Vegas the next morning, I didn’t want to reboot the server and run into problems before being out of town …
Upgrading to Utopic Unicorn
(Ok, that one was too easy) I was on my business trip to New York when Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) was released on October 23, so I just got around to upgrading my server this weekend. No problems so far, as usual and expected. Next up … Vivid Vervet. What happens after we reach Z? …
Trusting in the Trusty Tahr
Yeah, yeah, so it’s getting harder to write these “witty” Ubuntu post titles … 😮 Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) was released today so as usual I upgraded my server immediately. Despite upgrading on the first day the download only took about 30 minutes but then it took a few hours for the “do-release-upgrade” to finish …
Synology DiskStation DS214
Let’s try this again … I was having way too many problems with my new Buffalo Linkstation LS420 so I sent it back and decided to give a different brand a try. It was slightly more expensive, but I selected the Synology DiskStation DS214 2-bay NAS, populated with two 3TB Western Digital Red NAS hard drives …
Buffalo LinkStation LS420
Back in 2006 I purchased my first NAS, the 250gb Buffalo LinkStation. Three years later I quadrupled my NAS space by replacing the LinkStation with the 1TB Buffalo LinkStation Live. It’s now been five years since my last NAS upgrade and this time I decided to finally go with RAID. Sticking with Buffalo (I have …
