• cover gaskets: EJ22, note 3.7ft/lbs for bolts
• 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
• oil and filter
• 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.

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.

# make all directories needed, ignore if already present.

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
	# tar xzf drupal-7.7.tar.gz
	# mv drupal-7.7 drupal
	# cd drupal
	# wget http://drupal.org/files/issues/7881-proxy-please-341.patch
	# patch -b --verbose -p1

	    - question and answer.
            - backup files will be made
            - it will want to know the real files, IF it can not find them.
                # includes/common.inc

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.

  • 3M standalone circulation station: RFID
  • pen and gun barcode scanners

All the software listed is currently in use and being actively used as either an end-user or testing for a clients installation.

• image gallery: highly recommended Zoph.net. It can handle hundreds of thousands of images by using SQL and following the old school library belief of authority control, taxonomy to you newbies out there.
• email client
• Koha library system I wish it could be available, but at the moment all the records are being cleansed and prepared for input. If you are interested, drop me a line and I’ll email you when ready
• CDS-Invenio the best digital asset system for the open source users our there. But again the data in this catalog is private and only available for viewing with email requests. Who are argue with CERN. It’s great!
• Rnews, the best server rss agg reader. Yes there are nice client readers available, but this one just plain works

Server software

• Zabbix server and client monitoring software. I do recommend it, but then still learning the ins-and-outs
  20110330: Update – While this program would be fine for a large organization. It is too much for a setup with less than 10 servers/workstations. Hand written scripts are easier to deal with. Though, I do enjoy the ease of setting it up, still just too much for home use.
• GLPI and OCS-NG: strong personal favorites for any network. They integrate well and offer much to any organization for centralized help desk services.
• All linux software for maintenance and operations is in use, along with some cool Windows management software since there are others in our house who refused ditch Microsoft.

Client systems

• Windows 7 x64 – desktop and laptop
• Windows XP x32 – 2 desktops
• Ubuntu x64 – laptop and 2 desktops
• CentOS 5 – server
