Post-Friday, Beginning Break

So I didn’t get around to updating last night before going to bed at 3:30, but I’m getting around to it now. You should notice the site overhaul: I still have a garish gimp flame-plugin thing, but I needed some green, and making something by hand just wasn’t working out. The color scheme is based […]

EZLO+Google PDF Viewer

Note: I have not overhauled the image system to deal with this yet. This […]

Switching to mongrel backend

EZLO so far has been using a fastcgi backend, with lightty up front. However, this hasn’t been the best of worlds, since the dispatch.fcgi processes would die at a certain time in the morning, and I couldn’t figure out how why or how to find out how (I got as far as trying to parse […]
