  • Easy GoLang AWS SDK V2 Upgrade

    Easy GoLang AWS SDK V2 Upgrade

    In my day job I have a pretty extensive library of routines I use to wrap cloud automation using the vendor libraries as composed functions. That makes things like deploying a stack, or creating an AMI a bit easier. Composed functions allow me to build things in the cloud in a consistent way.  I simply […]

  • Plesk Migration to AWS

    Plesk Migration to AWS

    I have been running my hosting on 1and1 hosting (now Ionos) since the early days of the web. In the years I’ve been on that service, I’ve moved it a few times from one of their servers to another (mostly to save a few bucks), so it was time to do a Plesk migration to […]

  • AWS Login Code As Infrastructure CloudFormation

    AWS Login Code As Infrastructure CloudFormation

    I set up AWS accounts in a hub and spoke model for access using AWS Organizations for login. This meaning that I have an AWS organization that is under my master account.

  • Tesla Turo Trip

    Tesla Turo Trip

    I decided I wanted to try two things for my birthday vacation: Renting a car from Turo.com Driving a Tesla on a long trip I had seen the Turo app, and saw that you could rent just about any type of car on it, and I’ve been thinking about wanting to see how ready for […]

  • Maven repositories

    I needed to do some work on an old Maven project I have that I’ve worked on for years, and when I fired up my handy Netbeans IDE and ran the obligatory “priming build”, I was surprised to get an error on one of the basic Maven plugins.

  • Better Look with Colorzilla Gradient

    I offer support for a few web sites, and not too long ago, I created a WordPress theme for Omnis Risk (http://www.OmnisRisk.com). Actually this was just a slightly modified version of the theme that I’d done some time ago for Omnis Tools (http://www.OmnisTools.com), with some style changes to match the branding for the risk management […]

    Today we celebrate Thanksgiving  in the US, an American holiday where we count our blessings, and in that spirit, I give thanks for my health and well being. I’m extremely grateful to be able to say I’m happy and healthy and not fighting the mental health problems that nearly 1 in 4 adults in the […]

  • Migrate JavaEE from Single Tier VM (Step 1)

      I manage a small application that is hosted on a single Linux virtual machine and have noticed some occasional performance and stability issues. The server runs CentOS, MySQL and a GlassFish server. I chose GlassFish several years ago because at the time it was the only EJB3 container around, as well as being very […]

  • Making sure Stash starts up on Windows

    I was having a problem where Stash (which was installed as a service) wasn’t starting up properly and giving me a page that made it look like there was a problem with the database. I have a local MySQL on the same machine as the Stash server, and both that service and the Stash server […]

  • Unintended Consequences

    I’m always fascinated by unintended consequences, especially when they are an artifact of trying to do something right. In moving to Salt Lake City from California, I’ve been reminded that good intentions and planning do not a perfect world make. I live close to downtown, so I’ve started walking to work. It’s a nice walk, […]
