Thanks to local craiglist, the boys both have new touring bikes.  I hope to start a regular ride with them during the good weather to come.  They need to gain some confidence riding in the street and I need to get into shape.  The mid-life has hit and some think a little bit of modding and tuning is needed for the next half.  I’ll play.

Also need to finish some XML/XSLT scripts to migrate a major site to a new CMS.  Sadly the old site is a mix of static and quasi home grown cms.  Finished the harvest.  whooo 2700+ pages.  Great this is gonna be a chore.  Let you know how it comes out in 2 months.  It is a public site so it will be a nice addition to a portfolio.

Got hooked into assisting my wife’s organization to migrate and redesign their website as well.  Thankfully, I’m just the techie here and will be working with a much more skilled designer.

original owner (family car)
1996-2000 chicago streets
2000 – now cleveland garaged
single port exhaust
5 speed manual transmission
original motor 104,200 miles
low mileage
no accidents – ever.

In the past two years the following has been maintained.
left and right front drive shafts – new 2011/12
left and right ball joints – new and just beacuse I was in there.
left and right front rotors – new and just beacuse I was in there.
left and right front pads – new
fuel filler pipe – new 2012/2
timing belt and bearings 2011/xx
head gaskets 2012/1
regular oil changes
spark plugs and wire 2012/3
new 16″ sport steel rims, 2010/3
original 15″ rims and covers are included, but one rim is bent due to a pot hole.

Not a body guy, I only just remove the rust and paint during good weather.  As I don’t drive much anymore, thank you public transit, it stays in a garage except for weekends.  A maintenance log is kept in a journal.  It has more entries with my wife’s older car. But he highlights are there.

Pictures say more.  It has seen its fair use as a family car of 4.
Would like to get $2500 or best offer.  Please no part out requests, this is a single package deal.  Oh, if you make a best offer, the roof rack and bike mounts are not included.  More pics available.

Thank you NASIOC visitors for looking.

Side note.  Great weather means getting the car up to spec.  New head gaskets, plugs, wires, oil filter and change.  Heck at 103986 miles, all is well.  Going to put it up for sale soon.  Pictures coming.

Finished scanning my fathers slide collection.  Making DVD videos of them.  Looking for some nice symphonic pieces to be included.

• cover gaskets: EJ22, note 3.7ft/lbs for bolts: done 20120318
• fuel filler pipe replacement: finished 1 hour to do.  Just make sure you have less than 1/4 tank of gas and that side of the car is jacked.  Very easy.
• spark plugs: done 20120318
• oil and filter: done 20120318
• re-gasket the single port exhausts to heads: finished 1 hour, 1/2 an hour just outlining and making new gaskets since the stores didn’t have them in stock.
• treat as best as possible the rust in the rear wheel wells

That said. if anyone is interested in a 1996 Subaru Impreza L sedan with 103250 miles then send an offer. Updated 20120318 at 103986 miles.

This is version 0.1.  A new improved version will come out in a week.  The environment is CentOS, Apache 2x, MySQL 5.1, PHP 5.3 and Drupal 7.7.  Given a bit of knowledge this would work for Slackware, RedHat, Ubuntu, and almost any other Linux distribution.

Seriously, I’d rather be playing with the setup of something a wee bit more involved. Like Koha, Zoph, Invenio, or Fedora.  DSpace is easy too.

DRUPAL
Installing Drupal

Create a blank MySQL database: Drupal-{servercode}  i.e. Drupal-test, Drupal-development, Drupal-qualitycontrol, etc.
Create a Drupal master user in MySQL with permissions to only access the drupal database.

Get the latest drupal from the drupal.org site.

	As sudo or root in a project directory.

	# mkdir ~/project-drupal
	# cd ~/project-drupal

	# wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-7.7.tar.gz

Taught the older child a bit about drills and paint scraping.  We’re attacking the rust around the wheel wells.  For a 15 year old car and a 14.5 year old kid, the two are aging differently.  The car has developed the ‘rust.’  What can be said. it is the family car and has held up for all these years.  Cleveland winters, NaCl, and 2 kids takes a toll.

We are opting for the holding it together and teach the elder to drive next summer method.  Then we will trade or sell off to a subby lover out there.  So a heads up. For anyone interested in a 1996 Subaru Impreza 2.2L with rear wheel well holes. Have I a car for you.  Only 103,000 miles almost.  It has been taken car of  and I swear you can’t see the melted cookie on the back seat.   Bids will be taken and pictures can be sent.

That said, Steven is now the proud owner of his domain, email, and site.  I have a few years to go before the younger spawn gets wise and requests his.  I can only hope that Steven learns enough to code a message to people looking for me to look here.  His blog is growing faster than mine.
