That’s it. I’m setting up another Linux environment @ home to be a pseudo-production environment (he says, eyeing an old iMac that’s already running Debian).

The day started well enough. Sun out. Birds chirping. My Russian Blue feline Tasha taking up residence on the verandah … Dizzy Gillespie singing “On The Sunny Side of the Street” … Fixed a couple of Perl bugs. Rice Crispies. Hot Coffee (today being so special, I treated myself to one of the clean mugs)

Ah, but then I actually tried to get something more significant done. Copied a preview version of FlexiPhoto up to my server (I have my own Penguin 1U Linux box, sitting in the Sonic.net colo facility up in Santa Rosa, CA) … go through a simple test .. choke! This install of PHP never got all of the image-creating goodies! And … exhale. Kinda hard to show a photo db that can’t resize an image, eh?

Oh well, it was an old enough version of PHP where I needed to upgrade anyway. I was all psyched up to have the day go one way, and now it’s leading me down the path of Neverlasting Upgrades (because you upgrade something, but the effect never lasts long enough).

So that’s my story today. Upgrades all around! Drinks on the house! And an iMac running Debian at home that will mirror my colo box, so I have something to do test runs on. Yeah yeah, I know this from all my time in production environments, etc. I was just being hopeful this morning that it would work :-)
