Moving my data away from #bigdata and to #Nextcloud
Until recently I've always held the philosophy that as long as my data is going to Facebook and Google, that it's safe. Maybe it was due to convenience. Maybe because of laziness. Probably because of lack of caring. Earlier this year all the news broke about Facebook...
Set ownership of all Vesta users’ web folders #vestacp
I often work on my websites as my root user on my Ubuntu VPS running Vesta. When I copy over WordPress or other files they'll retain root ownership. Rather than having to chown every file and folder I've worked on, I run this simple script to set proper ownership. I...
Future Fooded: Soylent, Week 3
Day 15 – October 22, 2017 – 231.4 lbs This morning I had a half of a caramel coffee shake, then a Cacao, then the rest of the caramel coffee shake. For dinner I had a Cacao. Day 16 - October 23, 2017 I didn't make a shake this morning because I didn't have the time....
Disallow Deleting Chrome History, Settings, & More with Group Policy #gpo

Future Fooded: Soylent, Week 2
Day 8 - October 15, 2017 - 235.8 lbs Just another normal Soylent day. Cafe Coffiest for breakfasts, Cafe Chair for lunches, and Cacao for dinners. Nothing exceptional to report. Day 9 - October 16, 2017 Today feels like a major victory. First off, no gut rot this...

Use Cleverness To-Do List to keep track of posts you want to procrastinate writing #wordpress #plugin
I find that in my life of IT, amateur website implementation (I'm no developer, but I can make WordPress purr like a kitten), and website collaboration, that a to-do list is a simple yet effective way to keep track of what needs done on a site without having to...
Proactively make migrating #VestaCP domains to different servers easy
VestaCP is a powerful and simple control panel. It runs fast on any decent VPS (I recommend Linode). But sometimes you outgrow your current space and want to move individual sites to new servers. Being proactive in this will save you time and headache in the future...
Delete Outlook 2010/2013 Temp Files on Boot
I recently needed to have to delete both Outlook 2010 and 2013 temp files on boot in Windows 7 and 8. While not planning an in-depth tutorial, I've decided to put both the batch code here in case anyone else needs it. There's one for each, and if the path isn't found...
