Album Creator 1.0a is a program I wrote to generate the photo album for VAQ-138. It was really only used once, but I learned alot about swing, multi-threading, velocity, Netbeans, and Java2D. Please, read the webpage to learn more about why and how this program was made.

wired networking fixed on 1005HA

Today, I figure out how to install my wired lan driver on linux. It is pretty simple, but I had a hard time getting the AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz file. I emailed the atheros website to see if they could fix their broken links. Updates on that later. Here are the simple steps to get it working.

1. download the AR81 driver (I could only find the 1.0.0.9 version because the atheros website is broken).
2. switch to the src directory and run make
3. run make install

After this I had to restart and it worked.

Working theme

Posted on December 09, 2009 by John J Mercier

Hello everyone! Right now you may notice that everything looks like crap. Well you are going be dealing with this for a while and (depending on your opinion of my design skills) possible forever. That is right folks I'm working on my own theme.

So far, I only have the basic files set up in roller so that I can edit the theme at my own pace. I hope to have the theme work for the entire website (except old pages) using templates for the index and project pages.

As a side note I think I found a bug in roller. The roller-startup.log file cannot be set in the roller-custom.properties file. Let me explain. For some reason I was getting a long error in the Catalina output saying that the log file could not be created. This is probably because of my shared server environment being locked down and not allowing this file to be written wherever it goes by default. Anyways, I tried to change the property in the roller-custom.properties file (because that is where all changes should be, right?) and I still got the error. I believe that this property cannot be set in this file because the file is loaded after the log is used. So, I had to change the path in the file I'm not supposed to edit log4j.properties. Not a big deal, but the file says I should be making this change in roller-custom.properties.

Well that is it for my rant. I will continue working on the theme so things can look nicer.
