Installing Webmin Using YUM
One of the first and most useful packages I like to install once I have a Fedora server up and running is Webmin. This handy administration tool provides you with a web interface for configuring just about anything you could possibly want to configure on your server. The process for installing Webmin has gotten much more…

Driving Habits
I don’t know what has gotten into people lately, perhaps its buck fever brought on by the cooler fall weather, whatever it is has affected their driving habits for the worse. I have watched drivers drifting across lanes, running red lights, blowing through stop signs, cutting other drivers off, and speeding at insane levels (greater than…

Using Tail with Grep
I recently needed to search through my mail log to see if an email had been sent when someone told me it had been sent. I knew I could use grep for this but had no clue how to make it work so that it would show me only the data I needed to see.…

Toad

The Neighbors
If you read my post from Sunday, you’ll know that I broke one of our pool supply lines and had to drain about twelve inches of water from the pool so I could repair the pipe. I fixed the pipe Monday afternoon and refilled the pool on Tuesday. Once I verified the repaired pipe wasn’t leaking, I…

Back To Gardening
With the pool plumbing repaired and the PVC cement curing, I thought it was time I got back to gardening. Since I didn’t have enough time to setup another trellis for the cucumbers, I gave all the vegetables a once-over checking for pests, weeds, and potential produce. One of the first things I noticed was…

Fixed
If you read yesterday’s post, you know that I had a moment of stupid and managed to poke a hole in one of the pool pipes, thus draining part of the pool and flooding the yard. Fortunately I was able to divert much of the water into the drain line that dumps the water into…
