Quick notes for those trying to install and setup Drupal on an Debian machine:
For those trying to install #drupal6 in #debain-lenny use synaptic and do a packet force to get #drupal6.16 from backports
**Note in #debain-lenny the default files are not in /var/www/ there in /usr/share/drupal6/
Once installed from #synaptic restart apache then goto (from web browser) localhost/drupal6/install.php

My Crossroads
Long time,
Well a lot has changed for me since my last post, where do I began........I've switched 9-5's yet again (job markets' ruff) currently I'm unloading trucks from 4-1am (7.65/hr). My business has slowed due to time constraints. I don't have the time to really advertise anymore. I'm in my last sem. for my AAS degree @ ITT-Tech (March Grad). And I'm at a crossroads on my career path. At this time one thing is for certain I want to have a career in Linux/Unix. Ive spent the last 12 months learning Asterisk from the ground up. I'm no guru yet but not to far from it. Ive also been reading off and on O'Reily's "LPI cert in a nutshell". This book is good for studying if you already have some what a back round working with Linux (1yr or better). I didn't set the usual new years resolution. I just set short term goals to accomplish. I'm not getting any younger and its time to choose a path for my life and run for it. My first goal is to grad from school. Second to build my brand. Third to take a cert and Pass it. Fourth learn a programming language. Fifth to work in the IT field full time. I know I've said this in the past but my blogs will become more frequent and more techie. My goal is to write every time i learn something new. I want to do this not only to keep track of new items but to also help those seeking answers to some of the problems that may or may not be so common to some geeks. In closing happy new years to all and until next time "RTFO" (rock the f...on)

R.I.P. Michael Jackson 6-25-09
Today is a sad day for most if not all music lovers. Today the King of Pop Michael J. Jackson was pronounced dead @ UCLA. The said cause was a heart-attack but has yet to be confirmed. This isn't one of my usual blog post but when I heard it I was deeply sadden by it. In the last couple of months we've lost so many great actors and singers; #IsaacHayes, #BernieMac,and #MichaelJackson. I know thats not all the names but those are the few that stand out to me. I grew up listening to Michael and Issac. I laughed til it hurt at Bernie Mac. In an nut shell I'm saying tomorrow is not promised to us so live everyday like it's your last!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a Rant
Greetings all,
Wow, was looking at the last time I did a blog post....Shame on me. Well schools' out for two weeks so I have time to finishing craming for my cert. Looking at the new LPI I think I can pass this one. So I have two weeks to get $155.00 for the test. I'm giving my day job one more month for a number of reasons. The main reason tho is my boss. I'm tired of him lying to customers and feeding them BS about their machines to make a qwik buck. Virus here bad software there. Granted some cases are true, but let the customer talk about diff software and he has a fit. Last week I died a little inside when I had to install Vista over a copy of Ubuntu 8.10. Between the lying and the other BS I think it's time for me to grow else where. Plus I learned what I needed to; how to deal with laptops. Well this is my short rant for the week, time to enjoy my day off! TTYL

Friday's show
Happy Easter all (who believe),
Fridays show was a big bust but a learning experience none the less. Problem 1. No notes..I basically shot from the waste my goal was to set up a live study group using talkshoe. I didn't want to actually lead the group more like provide an outlet to help others out. Problem 2. No one showed. I thought at lest one or two people would show up but hey what can I say " you can lead a horse to water but can make it drink". Problem 3. Just not prepared. OK now I'll take the blame on this one, all together I just wasn't confident enough. But hey you live and learn so now my goal is to try it again with a little more preparation. Because if this succeeds then I'll post it as a podcast and ogg feed to help future students of ITT. Well its home work time so until next time. L8tr.
