I was kicking myself trying to get the permalinks fixed and what do you know, someone already had this issue with Wordpress and Godaddy.com

The short answer is:Set your permalinks in the settings/permalinks page and then wait an hour for the backend to catch up.  Not sure what the wait is for but it worked.

Trying to fix so please bear with me.

If you can see this then my move to Godaddy.com worked!  John needed to shut down the 1and1 server since there were only two servers on it (one of which was mine)…

And I must say, the folks at Godaddy.com were awesome!  I had a question and helped me post haste.

Mmmm snow

Wow… Pink Floyd fans all over the world will be mourning this week.

If you ever created a RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 virtual machine using VMware’s ESX you may have discovered that the virtual mouse driver is not installed correctly. The driver is there but they messed up the xorg.conf file.

-A friend of mine found this so I have to give credit to SW on this one-
in the Section “ServerLayout” add InputDevice “Mouse0″ “CorePointer”
then in the Section “InputDevice” add (or create)
Identifier “Mouse0″
Driver “vmmouse”
Option “Protocol” “IMPS/2″
Option “Device” “/dev/input/mice”
Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5″
Option “Emulate3Buttons” “yes”
EndSection

Reboot and you should be all good.

Just to let everyone know, we posted a new version (1.3) of the ESX_SRRSecure.sh script on the VMTN.
ESX_SRRSecure – Script to allow ESX to pass a DISA Security Readiness Review

For now you still have to edit the file and search for 192.168.10. and replace it with your network id.

Version 1.4 will come soon..

Forgot to post this but just found it on my phone and thought i would share.

Name of the boat is Namaste, an Indian salutation… Kind of like Howdy. I took the picture with the bird in the water but caught him in the air by the time the phone shutter clicked.
