Back to Blogging

Filed under: Personal — Gregory Haase @ 11:01 pm

I took a very long hiatus (over a year) from posting here. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since January 1st 2007. Most of the people who read this have probably heard me say on occasion that the reason I don’t blog that often is because I don’t have anything useful to contribute. That’s more of an excuse than anything else. I still believe that the contents here should be useful to someone, at least to myself. The problem is that I’m not blogging about that stuff either.

If you are a frequent visitor of this blog, I hope you start to see regular content again. I won’t be posting every day, and maybe not every week – but I should be posting at least a couple of times a month. I’m doing some really interesting things these days, and some of them are definitely worth sharing.

If you’ve been here before, you might have noticed that there is a new tagline above. Since most of my day-to-day revolves around databases, that’s pretty much most of what you’re going to get here. You’ll still get a smattering of GNU/Linux and other code stuff (Perl, PHP, etc) but only to the extend that I stumbled upon something in my job as a DBA.

You’ll also see a new look about the place. It’s pretty much the same template I had before. I moved the sidebar to the right again, and I changed the colors and graphics around. I also edited all the categories and re-categorized all the links.

So welcome (or welcome back) to onefreevoice.com – a blog about databases and stuff.

Digital Photos Organized

Filed under: GNU/Linux, Personal — Gregory Haase @ 11:45 am

Until yesterday, my collection of digital photos was a complete mess. We had pictures archived away in multiple tar files on multiple computers, and duplicates everywhere. It was hard to find a picture, and unless you really knew exactly what you were looking for and where it was, it was impossible. Yesterday, I googled for a good solution and I came upon This informative post about photo organization in linux. It was the perfect solution. (more…)

I need a new name convention

Filed under: Code, Personal — Gregory Haase @ 11:11 pm

I’m slowly adding computers to my network now, and I’m discovering that not setting up a proper name convention when I only had 2 or 3 PCs is going to now be a problem. I want to think of a standard now while I’m in the process of moving things around and refining the network – before things really get out of hand. (more…)

Jumping on the Technorati Bandwagon

Filed under: Personal — Gregory Haase @ 8:49 am

Seems like my buddy Ed Corrado is jumping on the Technorati bandwagon amoung others (his profile).

Not to be left out, I decided to create my own Technorati Profile. You can check it out if you care too.

*sigh* – I’m only ranked at 1,141,986.

Messing About with Trackbacks

Filed under: Personal — Gregory Haase @ 8:57 pm

I never really messed about with the trackback feature, but I was a bit suprised to learn that they aren’t reciprocal in nature. I had (wrongly) assumed that when someone does a trackback to one of your posts, you get a link on their blog/site back to you. (more…)
