Singapore Doctors Sling SMS Messages to Patients’ Families

I’m not certain my doctor’s office will even take emails from patients. Although, I did fill out a history at a dentist’s office asking for an email address recently…

Could you imagine if their tagline was: Is it safe?

Things be broken. Things be fixed.

Seems all the ‘permalinks’ are broken and that’s causing problems everywhere except for the main page.

Hence, I will do the needful and revert.

But not until later tonight.

Update: Fixed on friday. I made a .htaccess change that had unfortunate side effects to php. Then i broke feeds by deleting too much. I think things are back in working order again.

Who kick’s ass?

I wore my new t-shirt that my sister gave to me for my birthday today:

Time to reinstall

But this time it’s not Windows… In my attempt to upgrade my linux box from Fedora Core 1 to Core 2, I ran out of disk space today. It was the result of a failed “best practice” from a few years ago, where I created a separate partition for each part of the system (root, home, var, usr, and tmp). 3 Gigs seemed like enough space for /usr a few years ago, but it’s been tight the last year, while /var and /home were only using about 20% of their allocation.

So, after a few hours of “creative partitioning” in an attempt to get one big partition, the system became unbootable. Instead of wasting more time trying to fix it, I opted for a clean install.

Of course, I was smart enough to back up all important files, so I should be able to get the system reconfigured just the way I like it.

Update Sunday 6/6: Well, things don’t seem to have gone well… I got the system installed, but it hung overnight. I have a feeling it has something to w/ the X server . I’ll try turning all the X server stuff off and see if it’s stable. Otherwise, it may be time for a new distribution. Pretty disappointed, considering that with all previous Redhat and Fedora Core 1 versions, I would easily go a month between PLANNED restarts.

Update 2 Sunday 6/6: Well, it may not have been X. I decided to switch Java over to the IBM JDK… I switched back to Sun’s kit for Linux… so far so good… I’ll definitely need to file a bug report if that turns out to be the culprit. Oh, the shame
