Website URL: https://alpha01.github.io/reconquista-timeline/ GitHub Repository: https://github.com/alpha01/reconquista-timeline I’m somewhat of a Hispanic history nerd, particularly the Reconquista Era. I’ve read about 20+ books on this subject, have three regular journal notebooks scattered with lots of different notes. I love book journaling, however this form of research and study does have it’s drawbacks. The main one, my […]
So I was laid off my job last month, this gave me a good reason to finally redo what was a fairly ugly looking portfolio site. This time around instead of creating the entire static site from scratch (after all CSS and JavaScript are not quite my forté) I opted to use a pre-existing open […]
So I decided to create a website that catalogs all of my books, music and video games. Additionally, I also opted to put in there any other interesting stuff that I own or collect. So lo and behold, shit.alpha01.org was born.

I finally managed to re-enable mod_ruby on my server once again. This time around, I had a hard time enabling eRuby to work in Apache. New Apache configuration file: AddType text/html .rhtml LoadModule ruby_module modules/mod_ruby.so #<IfModule mod_ruby.c> RubyRequire apache/ruby-run RubyRequire apache/eruby-run <Files *.rb> Options +ExecCGI SetHandler ruby-object RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance </Files> <Files *.rhtml> SetHandler ruby-object RubyHandler […]
I finally had some time to install mod_ruby and eRuby on my server. Prerequisites: httpd-devel ruby ruby-devel eruby yum install httpd-devel ruby ruby-devel eruby Installing mod_ruby was pretty confusing, as module default compilation is intended for Apache 1.3 (not why this is the case) If you’re running Apache 2.0 or higher, I managed to successfully […]
WordPress upgrade went real smooth. At a glance, WordPress 1.4 and 2.9 seem to be worlds apart.
