Call of Cthulhu: The Haunting – Session One (Pt. 2)
Wherein the investigators continue their interviews, and visit the house. Day 2 While driving to Baltimore to visit the Macario children, Rachel dozed off at the wheel, and crashed through a farmland fence. She was roughed up the most, but nobody else seemed to even notice the damage. All four of the investigators showed up […]

Call of Cthulhu Character Creator
To help the lazy and the indolent I’ve created a character creator. I’ll be making minor changes as time allows, but it’s nearly done. All I have to add as of now will be descriptions of what Occupation you’ve chosen, and for the point pool to change if you assign skill points to a skill. […]

Any repository that was preinstalled should have it easily available. The yum command in CentOS would be: yum install […]
Owncloud Part 2

Owncloud Part 1
OwnCloud is a DropBox-type file-sync system that is open source and free for use. Implementing OwnCloud was troublesome for me at first, as it had moments where it was easy as pie, and moments where I lost the will to continue living in a world where I couldn’t control my own Linux machine. The initial […]
Rolling Out WordPress
Rolling out WordPress was actually the last of the administrative acts I have accomplished on this server, and it was by far the easiest of the implementations. I feel sheepish even calling it an implementation. It was almost embarrassingly easy to get it up and running. I downloaded the latest version of WordPress from the […]
Mission Statement
I’ve seldom blogged about anything on a regular basis with any kind of regularity or otherwise. This is in large measure just an exercise in web administration. My writing skills and ability to ENTICE and EXCITE are both rancidly rotten and ignored to the point of being rusted to complete impotent dullness. However, I enjoy […]
