So I upgraded Ubuntu yesterday… from 5.04 to 5.10 to 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04, or whatever it was. (Hoary, Breezy, Dapper, Edgy, Feisty — sounds like a weird Disney character sheet). Everything was fine until the 7.04 upgrade, where php stopped working. Not really sure what happened; I fiddled with the configs for an hour or so, but what finally fixed it was removing a duplicate (new) link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. The upgrade added a 000-default symbolic link that duplicated the 1.default link previously installed. I acutally ended up removing both of them and renaming the default config file to chiplynch.com (yeah, I know, but it’s better than “default”). This may have unintended consequences later, but for now it’s fixed my problem.

Of course, I get to go through this again in a few days when 7.10 (“Gutsy Gibbon”)(!) comes out.

Sorry for the downtime — I know you missed me!

So, I leave my parrot with a lady at “Wings over America”, or “Wings over the Rainbow”, depending on who you ask (same place, two names. Weird). Anyway, the bird lady occasionally goes to bird-trade-shows and fund-raisers and such. This past weekend she went up to the Columbus zoo and took Romeo, who got to play with Jack Hanna! At least, that’s what I’m told — I haven’t managed to pick up any pictures of the event, largely since I wasn’t there — but I’m told he held Romeo and I’m sure they’ve bonded and become life-long friends. I expect my birdie to be on his Christmas list any year now.
