D4rk Theme Issues

Submitted by packetmad on 2 November, 2009 - 10:31

New Drupal theme issues:

(FIXED)1. Text - Links Too dark. The gray is a couple shades too dark for it's background color.

(FIXED)2. Text - Black text, in text entry areas, is too dark. (search box)

(FIXED)3. Spacing - Spacing on articles and blocks.
There needs to be a CR between the controls of an article teaser and the title of the next.
In blocks, there needs to be a CR at the end.

(MOSTLY)4. Preview - white text on white background. Mostly fixed. You can now see the body but some fields, like author, still have some white text on white background. Comment preview works fine however.

(FIXED)5. Bottom AdSense block not showing properly. (Apparently main page only)

(FIXED)6. Pager black text too dark.

CIALUG, the local linux users group, suggested using firebug to find these issues.

50+ Hard Drives

Submitted by packetmad on 14 October, 2009 - 19:52

I've used more than 50 hard drives in my home IT projects over the years and I've never had one start to fail. Keep in mind, these are commodity, off-the-shelf, drives. Meant for laptops, not the continual usage they see here.

Don't get me wrong, I've had them get loud. Loud to the point I have replaced them to maintain sanity but I've never had one report bad sectors... Until now.

I guess I've been lucky.

RHN MD5 Checksum Failures

Submitted by packetmad on 29 June, 2009 - 14:24

During updates for a RHEL 4 server, I kept encountering MD5 checksum failures.

The fix is easy enough, just delete the offending .rpm and .hdr files from /var/spool/up2date and try again.
