VPS.NET IPv6 Name Server

todd — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 18:16:25 +0000

I became interested in VPS.NET when they sponsored DrupalCon Chicago last March. It was nice to know they were adding a node so geographically close to me, and fun to watch how many exhibits they could get the VPS.NET robot into. I have had mine on my desk(unless the office cats knock it off) as a reminder to check back for deals and remind me if the need arose.

MythTV XMPP Bot

todd — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 02:16:48 +0000

I've started writing a bot that attaches to my Mythbackend. I'm calling it mythbot. It allows me to check on my recording status through commands like tuners, upcoming, jobs, info. It's written in php and uses xmpphp. XMPPHP does have performance problems. It needs a one liner to fix performance problems.
Update: The code is now hosted on GitHub at http://github.com/toddejohnson/mythbot

This is very sad. I don't understand why everyone feels the need to pirate software. Use open source and you no longer have to be constantly looking over your sholder.

Switch to Drupal

todd — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:04:24 +0000

I have decided to switch my website to use drupal. I decided this so that I could use a very stable and well supported CMS to maintain my web site. Also I am starting to develop some drupal modules and this gives me a place to production test some of them.
