boot sequence initiated...

Legalize Recreational Configuration! I like to see what I can do. I will do some configs for real stuff and a large amount of playing with fire.

Recreational Configuration Projects

  • EMACS. I love making my own modes
  • NGINX and Apache (Ugh.... Apache)
  • Breaking things with whacky configs
  • Writing my own configs for my own projects or just daydreaming.

EMACS. Or how I learned to love the modes

I love writing modes and learning to configure EMACS. I'm not good at it so if you are going to judge me make it good. LISP is really cool and I wan't to get better with it. I have a few projects I've started and they are mostly working.

Current Branches

  • 8-bit atari mode. This will have its own sprite preview and editor. I almost have it working and will post more about it after I get my initial site building out of the way.
  • NES mode. Same as above really. I guess you could better classify all of this as processor modes but I like feeling special. 6502, z80, etc.
  • Bind9/Named configuration mode. I thought it would be cool to build a configuration mode for Bind so it makes editing zone files easier and less likely to forget to update the serial numbers for clusters. More on that later though.
  • Squid Proxy and ACL modes for editing config files. Also pre-built snippets to make it a breeze

NGINX and Apache

I'll be honest. I just want to have a repository of templates for these so I can copy paste and make my life less of a joke when I can't remember how to properly configure them. :D Also updating them as new releases come out.

Current Branches

  • Just a placeholder for now..... Coming soon

Breaking things

I have not broken anything yet..... That I'm willing to admit

Current Branches

  • This I need to re-org badly. I switched from my Windoze system to linux. Its a mess
  • I believe I was still learning about pointers.
  • A ton of this I want to program in FASM. I LOVE ASSEMBLY

Configuration FreeWriting

Just exactly what it sounds like. Its the junk drawer of this page

Current Branches

  • I promise things are coming.

Stay frosty out there.
