In issue 6, on page 124, there is a link to frozentech.com/content/livecd.php. This marks the first time I’ve been in print!

Other big firsts include being on the radio, mentioned by Leo Laporte (!) (first hour, at 20:30), being included in a presentation at LinuxWorld, and being on Slashdot, Digg, IBM Developerworks, and SecurityFocus.

I quickly realized I would have to upgrade my MySQL from 4.0 to 4.1, something I had been putting off for a while. I followed the Gentoo upgrade docs, and they worked perfectly, but it did take over an hour to compile the new version plus all the other stuff which depened on it. That was fine though, as Christina and I watched some episodes of Battlestar from season one which we had not seen.

After everything was done compiling, I restored all the databases, checked existing sites, uploaded new files, edited apache and lighttpd config files, and restarted every service a few times. The good news is that everything looks like it’s working the way it should. There’s still a lot of tweaking that need to be done to the store and the surrounding site, but I’m looking forward to it. The Ruby on Rails environment has been fun to work with.
