The Gazelle
by Rainer Maria Rilke

Enchanted being: how can the harmony of two chosen words ever achieve the rhyme, as with a sign, that comes and goes in you.

Out of your brow rise leaf and lyre,

and everything yours already runs as metaphor through love songs, the words of which, soft as rose petals, for the one who no longer reads,

laid upon the eyes, which he closes

so that he may see you: carried about as if each slender leg were charged with leaps,

not to be fired as long as the neck

holds the head high in listening: as when, while bathing in a dark forest, the bather interrupts herself:

the forest pool still reflected in her turning face.

She Walks in Beauty
by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow’d to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair’d the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

At my local Linux users group meeting, someone brought up the Nerdcore HipHop music.

So if you are a nerd or a geek, then check out this Hip-Hop rhyme, called Kill Dash Nine.

I like the chorus:

KILL DASH NINE, No more CPU time. I run KILL DASH NINE, And your process is mine. I run KILL DASH NINE, ‘Cause it’s MY time to shine So don’t step outta line or else it’s

KILL DASH NINE!

Who says geek can’t be hip?

When you setup a website to be managed by Contribute, the name that shows up in the client for the connection description is generated from the text of the title tag of the index page of the website.

For setups where you are only managing a single site, this may not matter, but if you have a system where you use a development server and a production server, you may want the connection string to depict which server the user is editing and publishing to.

In order to change the text of the description you have to alter some text in a few files on the CPS management server.

In the installation directory of CPS, there is a database directory. This is the location of the files that are specific to the individual websites that are being managed.

Who is She?
by Gabriel Rosenstock

Who is this goddess of yours? Who is she?

‘Pure fantasy, I wager.’

‘Is she not clear to you?’
‘No, she is not.’

‘Clearer than day is she
‘ clearer than night …’

‘Not clear to me …’

‘Day in night is she
‘ night in day …’

‘I see her not …’

‘Look inside yourself!’

‘Difficult …’

‘Then look at her frost

covering the grass.’

When You Are Old
by William Butler Yeats

When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead,

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

AWStats is a great open-source stats analyzation program.

In the process of setting up a replacement webserver at VSU I was investigating the replacement of analog, another nice open-source stats program.

The problem with analog is that the people requesting stats were confused by the technical output. These people aren’t computer folks, they just want to know who or what or when the pages they maintain are being visited.

The default setup of AWStats is fairly easy to accomplish, but if you want to generate separated stats on individual directories off the web root, then it takes a little know how.
