So, you’re working hard to keep your Linux server accessible across the web, but now you have more than one box on one line, and unfortunately, you need both accessible through SSH. What do you do? After searching high and low for any tips, tricks, or maybe even a solution, (believe it or not, they do sometimes exist on the internet), I found what I needed. And it’s so easy. Really. First of all, you need to change your port number on the Linux box that you would like to have forwarded. I did this using a web interface application, through which I could easily point and click to change the port numbers.

There were two reasons I chose to do this. First, I don’t easily have access to my physical box, so I didn’t want to lock myself out. Second, I didn’t have SSH active at the time of change, hence the need to set up port forwarding. (A new server took precedence over mine at the location where mine is kept. I chose an obscure port number that I would remember, but that wouldn’t be dead obvious to others. (I did this to add a layer of obscurity aided security.) If I’d had access to the box over command line, and remote management of the router, I would do it this way:

I have added a few new video files online. They are test files I have filmed and edited for the purpose of familiarizing myself with the Canon XL-2 digital video camera. These are simply tests, but I have cut them together to (hopefully) be a little more interesting to watch. I would like feedback on any of the content on this site, these videos included. More will come.

(The free Quicktime 7 Player is required to view these files) :

If you’re anything like me, and you have gotten your Subversion server up and running, you’ve probably forgotten a few of the key steps of setting up another repository. Now, admittedly, I could simply create a Subversion folder called “Repositories” in my main Subversion repository, and put new projects inside of that when I want to add another. However, I feel there is value in keeping a certain level of autonomy for each project within Subversion. Very often there are individuals who you want involved with one project, but not on another. This way it seems simpler to keep the right people involved with any given project, as well as keeping your projects organized. After all, this is why you started using Subversion in the first place, isn’t it? Here is the process I use when making a new Subversion project repository. Please note that at this point I have only really used Subversion for only about 3 months total.

Not sure exactly why things are different here, but I have two servers running on various ports. This one (Dell piece of crap running Linux) has Apache listening on 80 and 443. The other server, an Apple Powerbook running OS X 10.4 is running a subversion server, and it’s listening on port 443. The problem is that when I restart, apache doesn’t restart on it’s own. (Haven’t configured that yet, darnit). So, the other day when I had to restart the lappy, I spent the better part of a day trying to get it up and running again. Unfortunately, I forgot one extremely vital snippet of information:

HTTPD -k start -DSSL

When I got it configured the first time, my friend and I scoured through the online resource pages for Apache, and found this info for starting up Apache with SSL. The confusion? My other server I simply have the “Listen 443″ directive in my httpd.conf file for Apache. Anyone know the reason why this is different on my Apple server, or how I can configure it similarly? Any help would be appreciated. And a little piece of advice, if your time is of any worth to you: remember to write this crap down!

Those keywords would be:
subversion, sub version, svn, svn server, Apache, restart, secure server, httpd.conf, configuration

Just a little something fun for the day. I think Jim Carrey has so much ability with his craft. He may be annoying to a lot of people, but his talent is unmistakable.

I love the “HAAAAA, HAAAAA, HAAAAA!” part!

It appears that this video has been deleted. What a shame. If I find another link to it, I’ll post it below.

In an attempt to revitalize this site, (and my photography), and despite all of the events that have happened in the last year, (i.e. stolen gear, loss of educational funding, new child, etc) I am going to begin posting Brooks assignment images regularly again. Here are some of the latest shots from an automotive shoot which I just completed. Pretty basic in it’s scope, my job was to photograph …

Well, the assignment was self promotion, and I wasn’t really feeling it, until last night. I have been pretty unmotivated lately, mostly due to the whole fiasco we just resolved with our financial aid. Luckily, that’s now over, and everything seems to mostly be on track, bringing along with it my ability and desire to once again …
