My terrystockdale.com site has now been redesigned using Cascading Style Sheets. I’ve pretty much dropped “tables” from the site, except for some historical sites (PBS, Dragonlode and Mary Lou’s). I like this site format a whole lot better. It should be a lot easier to maintain, as CSS enables the separation of the content from [...]

Balloon festival — Baton Rouge
August 7, 2004 By Leave a Comment
Went to the Baton Rouge Balloon Festival yesterday evening. We got there about 5:50pm, with the mass ascension to occur at 6pm. Beautiful weather, high 70′s and about 60% humidity. This was a good thing. The balloons had trouble inflating in the wind. The first balloon took off at about 6:50 and the others followed [...]

I stopped and restarted MySQL and all [...]

Issue on maintensnce of Categories. I’ve got several that doubled. The delete category function looks like it’s working, but nothing changes. This is probably an issue with privileges in MySQL. Need to check on its delete_priv setting. Yep, that must be it — I can’t delete the initial "test" entry either. Well, let’s check on [...]
MySQL is UP and Serendipity is UP!
August 4, 2004 By Leave a Comment
It’s been an interesting evening. I nuked the MySQL installation from SuSE 9.0 on my home Linux box and then installed MySQL, phpMyAdmin and Serendipity. The driving force was Serendipity, which is this blogging software. This is the second shot at this message. For some reason, the first one went into the bit-bucket. Terry

The last few days I’ve been doing some volunteer website design for a Baton Rouge-based volunteer organization. This has been fun from two sides — first, because I enjoyed doing it. Second, it was for a worth-while cause and was for a third party — and I could see what someone else thought about my [...]
