Zaramyth.com Rising From The Ashes

I am documenting the progress and evolution of my development server Zaramyth.com

I have not run a server from my house in a long time. The last time I had a Linux server running in my house was when I first moved to Albany back in 2010.  That server came with me from Oregon to Texas in 2003.  That server died of hard drive failure when I moved into this house in 2012.  I finally pitched it into the dumpster a few months ago.

Last weekend I stood up another Linux server based on a small desktop computer.  Way back in the early 1990's I cut my teeth on Linux using a HP Vectra that the company that I worked for at the time was throwing out.  I had just gotten a DSL connection in my home and a co-worker had convinced to install Linux and learn how to use it.  I eventually built a home network and firewall on the server and kept it up for one year without any downtime or rebooting.

Now I am doing it all over again.  My quest to keep exploring web technologies goes hand in hand with my taking a break from riding my bike everyday to work.  Somehow in the future I will manage to have time in my waking hours for both.

Basic installs of Drupal 8.


The site will not always look pretty.  The server may break as I try out different stuff. I will document my progress here in my blog.

Looking for another camera.

Looking for a compact digital camera. This is the spot for taking notes. I want a small camera with a decent lens that takes raw images. It must also have manual F-stop and aperture settings.  I take a lot of pictures from my bike like this one .  My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 takes good images, but I want better. I have an ancient Canon EOS 10D with a Cannon EF 20mm 1:28 lens.  I love taking still life and landscape photos with this camera and super sharp lens.  The dang thing is so heavy that I do not want to ride with it unless I am really on a camera taking picture ride. The The Fujifilm FinePix F900EXR This is another possibility. Generally I have always purchased Canon cameras, but I may have to change.
