So, today my website bit the big one. My fault? I wish. Seems that the Gentoo Apache2 maintainers decided to redo the entire configuration directory structure without really telling anyone. I followed through with what I thought was a normal upgrade, and magically Apache wouldn’t start anymore. Not only did they change where the config files were, they combined two of the files themselves, and modified how modules and virtual hosts were loaded.

Wondering where I’ve been? I’ve been sick for the past few days. Actually I’m still sick, but I’m well enough to leave bed for long periods of time.

Friday, I drove to the Chicago area to spend some time with Jen, since I haven’t been there for a while, and apparently Ryan missed me. We had dinner at Heaven On Seven, a restaurant known for having spicy Cajun food. I tried my luck with their Cajun Stir Fry, which was on their specials menu, and didn’t have a hot pepper next to the item description, so I assumed it was safe to eat. It was good, but boy was it hot. Now I wish I ordered the Shrimp VooDoo instead; Ryan says it wasn’t as hot as mine, and it did have a pepper icon. Ah well.
