Revenge of the Power PC

Well if you stumbled upon this page, then you were probably unscathed by THE migration, and hence you can skip ahead on to the article you accidented on in Google.  For those of you (namely I am talking about myself here) that subscribe to the feed, you may have noticed that the feed itself has been rather anomalous.  In fact it really didn’t work.  This is the effect of inheriting a Big Bubble Mac PowerPC, from my sister in law.  After some floundering I was going to go with installing Debian on the L’il guy, but looking back I had some issues (I can’t remember now, but I think I spent more then five minutes looking for a PowerPC repository or something).  Nevertheless, I decided to give Ubuntu server a whirl, and have pretty much a headless server (which is ironic considering it was the first of its kind where the computer is the monitor, but for sake of explanation, we’ll just say I poked they eyes out of this floating head).  Once built, it sat.  And it sat.  Until my wife asked for me to add Urban Baby Gourmet. I then proceeded to power the L’il guy on, but then it sat, and it sat. Eventually my wife was ready to go, and so I was in a scramble to get mibbit online, and all of our websites migrated over:

                http://www.urbanbabygourmet.com
                http://www.digitalanomaly.com
                http://www.avividdesign.com
                http://www.perrytribe.com
                http://www.nsgierer.com

            (Glib advertisement yes, but nonetheless true)

So to skip to the chase, there was some effort involved in getting everything off of my workstation, and onto this old machine. I just forgot to enable the mod_rewrite module on this server. No harm done, next I hope to create a semiautomatic fail over, just in case mibbit, should have any hiccups, I will keep you posted (right now I am looking at Monit as a possible solution, and running it from my workstation, hence the SSMTP article :) ).

Thanks again and pardon the dust,
