Brett Reilly’s Blog

Well the last few weeks have been fairly uninteresting and in eventful mainly watching tv, driving my car and playing with my iPhone, as well as trying to get some sun that we have been pleased to see more of, which the weather has also brought some much needed rain.

Last Friday I went the Pearl Jam concert which was just awesome it was a long though extremely enjoyable experience, with Ben Harper supporting Pearl Jam as well as accompaning them in a coupleof moments during the concert, as well as Pearl Jam being great Ben Harper was amazing also.

Well one more sleep before going back to work after having a week off, a very enjoyable relaxing week, sorting out my iPhone to help me be more productive as well as a few games, well that’s about it for this month!

Well I have found an iPhone app that is great for posting on wordpress any where from my iPhone produced by wordpress themselves!

I am sure I will be an app addict and now I can post from any where I will hopefully be posting more, I can even handle typing on the iPhone.

The iPhone is just damn impressive and I just love it, the fact that it is fully customisable and easy to personallise is just convenient and effecient.

Once I sorted through some apps I will post my favourites here though I already have a few good ones that I like such as, cartoon wars and word zen!

If you have not yet got ya self an iPhone what are you waiting for it is the future.

Been working on my websites more and more, beyonddirectory.com has nearly finished its facelift and is nearly compleated and is now a payed directory, setup a blog on a domain I have been doing nothing with lifehassles.com, which is now my philosophical realease.

Also I have been tweaking 7meditations.com seo, over the next couple of months I hope the results are positive.

My car has an exhaust leak and needs to be fixed, but it sounds great, like a race car, just waiting to get my tax refund back.

My kitty cats are in season and one was on heat this week, really annoying, though they have been booked in to get fixed next Wednesday and are not going outside till after it has been done.

Thats about it this month, as it is winter have not been braving the cold often and going out much, been concentrating on getting the websites working well and getting visitors.

Well Am a bit late been trying to set up a new server of my own its working, but no email or ftp is working so getting that sorted soon, decided to pay someone to sort it out for me I have given up as my eyes are blurry and sick of reading crap on the Internet that in no way benefits my goal or even the instructions suiting the program so much outdated stuff online for server management.

I am using virtual-min and have upgraded to pro to hopefully make it easier though it has just given me more settings to stare at and go ummmmmm> (scratches head) clicks on description (only tells me the basics of what it does) for more information I type in search words for subject matter and get someone Else’s problem that has nothing to do with mine through google and I am in the same boat as before.

Any way enough on the server stuff, I am trying to teach the baby kitty Marble to speak shes one of the ones who popped out of mummy (Tarsha) last year (see gallery), she can say mum or mom,  when mum isn’t around she repeats it over and over again, she can say her own name in short Marbs in a cat meow kinda way, now I might try to see if I can get here to say Brett, bit of fun, but she thinks the bath is here toilet don’t think I will ever get her out of that habit anytime soon.

I have switched from Cow to Soy in the milk department and I feel so much better, more energy and it actually tastes great.

Bought a book on Reiki going to start studying the art and do a weekend tuning course, then start practicing as soon as I get the hang of it.

Winter has hit cold weather for the next 3 months but it will give me some time to get some website stuff done.

I think that’s about it, see you in about 20 something days unless I have something to say in the meantime.

Maybe might start the Friday Video again…mmm..

It is the easiest thing in the world to do but I have set this up for my benefit as an easy step by step guide to installing the Virtualmin setup.

1. First Do an update on your os this will install necessary files and file headers so install.sh can download software.

Usually up2date or yum update.

2. Get the install script.

wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh

3. Check connection port it may be eth0 or venet0, check output for connection type.

ifconfig

4.  Install Virtualmin.

sh install.sh

Virtual min may ask you 2 questions during install if no domain has been set up.
Enter qualified domain.  yourmondomain.com
Connection device. see above step, for centos 5 it is venet0.

Useful links.

Well my holiday ( 2 weeks off. ) is nearly over only 2 more days left, I got a lot done in that time, if your a regular reader, the look of the site has changed which will be tweaked over time I ended up finding a ready made one though I still may change it down the track for something more original, all my site have been moved over to the new server as per previous post and I went to Echuca along the degraded Murry river for a few days.

I am also working on Beyonddirectory.com (directory) and conspiractrader.com (classifieds), on Beyond Directory I have changed the structure of the directory to be more in the original Idea I had and with conspiracy trader I have decided to go with something I have not tried yet, classifieds, which I have decided to make it geographical in categories which is going to take some time.

And am thinking about a counseling service for lifehassles.com but am still unsure about it.

If you ever go to Echuca get a massage here.

I am also addicted to Gloria Jeans Coffee now.
