I’ve finally gotten the website back up.\u00a0 There have a been a few changes that made it somewhat hard to bring it back.\u00a0 Below is a brief summary of what I did.\u00a0\u00a0 I took\u00a0 a ton of Google searches and forum reading to get here.\u00a0 I plan to describe things in more detail\u00a0 at some point to help others like me.<\/p>\n
First, my pc died.\u00a0 Then I had to convience Dell to send me a brand spanking new Alienware m17X almost fully loaded.\u00a0 Next, I swapped out the one deficiency in my new m17X the RAM.\u00a0 It came with 4GB\u00a0 (2x2GB), but I’ve upgraded to 8Gb (2 x 4GB) and fixed the BIOS to run it at the full clock rate.\u00a0 I also bumped up the processor clock speed to 100% since the default was 85% or 90%.\u00a0 That got my computer up and going again.<\/p>\n
Next, I got a new Belkin PlayHD 800 router.\u00a0 Its got dual 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios from which my new laptop can take advantage of.\u00a0 However, the firmware absolutely sucks and couldn’t host my website through it.\u00a0 So I loaded a version of dd-wrt into it.\u00a0 It took some more time to get the two USB drives up and going, but now our home network seems to be working great.<\/p>\n
Finally, I reinstalled all of the tools needed for the webpage (Apache, PHP, MySQL) and a few extras (uVNC<\/a>, WinSSHD<\/a>, Filezilla FTPS<\/a>, and the ps3 media server<\/a>).\u00a0 Now presto, I am writing this post \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve finally gotten the website back up.\u00a0 There have a been a few changes that made it somewhat hard to bring it back.\u00a0 Below is a brief summary of what I did.\u00a0\u00a0 I took\u00a0 a ton of Google searches and forum reading to get here.\u00a0 I plan to describe things in more detail\u00a0 at some […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-98","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tech-talk","tag-site-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=98"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":464,"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions\/464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=98"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=98"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bt.beerprojects.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=98"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
