for Liberty Pundits to contain the content that they had contributed to Patriot Room. The technical
lead on that blog had moved on, so we did some divining of what was there. Once we deduced the
current setup, we obtained the data from that site, determined how it would need to be manipulated to
become part of a WordPress blog, then accomplished the data migration. Initially, this was deployed
on the same shared hosting account where LibertyPundits.com, their podcast distribution site, already
resided. The site&rsquo;s traffic quickly overwhelmed that solution. They then were moved by their
host to a <abbr title="Virtual Private Server">VPS</abbr>, which performed moderately better, but
still had quite a few issues, mostly related to the site&rsquo;s traffic volume. We recommended a new
server configuration, including migrating from a fully-featured web server to a more lightweight web
server, along with caching, and configured that server. This configuration eliminated the
bottlenecks, and enabled them to have several 100,000+ hit days with no appreciable slowdowns.`

We next began developing an application (NSXapp) where volunteers could sign up for &ldquo;X

identify families and their needs, and a place for people with donations to let us know what they

`The TCMS motto, &ldquo;Putting People Over Paperwork,&rdquo; sums up the mission of this system. To successfully
run a needs clearinghouse, such as those run by Love INC affiliates, there is a lot of paperwork involved. Clients
must be tracked, along with their needs; these needs must be verified; resources for goods and services must be
known; volunteers must be known and sent communications to keep them involved. All of this adds up to a
significant recordkeeping (i.e., paperwork) burden.`,
`TCMS addresses these issues by providing a repository for all clearinghouse operation needs. It can eliminate
duplication of work, as well as link clients with goods and services. It also provides the means to communicate
with volunteers, either en masse or using selective criteria. This allows the recordkeeping requirement to be
smaller and quicker, giving more time for the actual helping of clients. It uses WordPress for its front end; this
can provide organizations with a web presence that they can maintain without having to employ a web guru, using
WordPress&rsquo;s <abbr title="What You See Is What You Get">WYSIWYG</abbr> editor and management tools.`,

Consulting also hosts 64-bit RPM builds of xine, a Linux multimedia player; the tech blog, via the RSS feed for
that category, can deliver notices of updated versions directly to subscribed users. Finally, it also contains

back to WordPress, we changed to a simple theme called &ldquo;Mantra,&rdquo; which has unobtrusive social media

paragraphs: [
`Many churches have prayer rooms - rooms set aside for people to come in to pray. Hoffmantown Church in
Albuquerque, New Mexico was one of these churches. However, they had seen the use of this physical prayer room
dwindling over the years. People had become less willing to drive to the church, especially at night, and security
became an issue as well; either prayer warriors had to know how to disable the security system, or the church
would have to remain unlocked.`,
`Having seen our work with the
<a href="/applications/nsx/" title="Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition &bull; DJS Consulting">Not So
Extreme Makeover: Community Edition</a>, the church contacted us to see if something similar could be developed to
help their prayer ministry. The resulting application that was developed extends the prayer room to wherever the
prayer warrior can get an Internet connection! Prayer warriors can enlist right from the site, and must be
approved. Requests and updates are tracked by date/time, and warriors can record when they&rsquo;ve prayed for a
request from the site, or from clicking a link in the daily e-mail they receive with requests from their interest
areas. As many prayer needs are confidential, security and confidentiality are very important. Virtual Prayer Room
ensures these by providing varying security levels for prayer warriors and the ability to mark each request as
confidential.`,
`In 2016, Hoffmantown Church elected to begin using another package for their prayer requests. While a few other
churches had expressed interest in it, none ultimately decided to use it; so, in 2017, Virtual Prayer Room was
officially decommissioned.`

<h1>Welcome to DJS Consulting!</h1>
<app-sidebar />
<p>
DJS Consulting can develop an interactive web application to fit almost any need.

sites and applications!</router-link>
</p>
<h2>Process Automation and User Engagement</h2>
<p>
Computers can be used to augment or automate nearly any process; could you think of generating bank statements,
processing mailing lists, or tracking orders without some form of automation? We develop web-based solutions to
automate <em>your</em> processes, ensuring that your business constraints are satisfied; these systems can run on
the Internet or your private network. For Internet-facing solutions, we engineer solutions that allow them to
interact with you securely, presented in an engaging manner. And, by "engagement," we are not describing intrusive
page pop-ups and other <span class="strike">marketing gimmicks</span> web annoyances; we determine an optimal user
experience for <em>your</em> customers, and tailor the solution to work for both of you.
</p>
<p>Several of our projects fit this description.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<router-link to="/applications/virtual-prayer-room" title="Virtual Prayer Room">Virtual Prayer
Room</router-link> helped the prayer ministry of
<a href="http://www.hoffmantown.org" title="Hoffmantown Church in Albuquerque, NM">Hoffmantown Church</a>
enable their prayer warriors to have access to requests wherever they are, even in their inbox once a day!
</li>
<li>
<router-link to="/applications/tcms" title="TCMS">TCMS</router-link> was an application that helped
organizations such as <a href="http://www.loveincabq.org">Love INC of South Albuquerque</a> connect people with
needs to people who can help fulfill those needs. TCMS sprung from the
<a href="http://hosted.djs-consulting.com/archive/notsoextreme_org" title="Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition (Archive)">Not
So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition</a> in Albuquerque, New Mexico during spring break 2008; we not only
developed the public presence, but a private system called
<router-link to="/applications/nsx/" title="NSX &bull; DJS Consulting">NSXapp</router-link> that enabled the
management of the volunteers, families, and things for this massive effort.
</li>
<li>
We continue to offer
<router-link to="/applications/prayertracker" title="PrayerTracker &bull; DJS Consulting">PrayerTracker</router-link>,
a free-to-use web application that helps Sunday School classes (or other small groups) generate a prayer request
list; it provides a central place for list management and continuity.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Information Publicizing <small><em>(including WordPress)</em></small></h2>
<p>
In the early days of the World Wide Web, it was known as the "information superhighway." From its inception, the
web's primary goal is information. The open nature of the Internet allows anyone, anywhere to say anything,
provided they can connect a machine to the network. In fact, there are software products to handle everything
except creating the content; all you have to bring is the ability to form a coherent thought, and type that
thought into a box. <a href="https://wordpress.org" title="WordPress">WordPress</a> is one of the most popular
<abbr title="Web Log">blog</abbr>ging platforms in use today; it allows authors to concentrate on the content of
their websites, rather than forcing authors to turn into programmers.
</p>
<h3>Custom-Built Sites</h3>
<ul>
<li>
We developed and maintained the site for <a href="http://www.emeraldmountainchristianschool.org">Emerald
Mountain Christian School</a> for 9 years, where they had information about the type of curriculum they teach,
the school's 40+-year history, a calendar of events, and how to get more information.
</li>
<li>
We built and maintained the site for <a href="http://www.summershome.org">Photography by Michelle</a>, which had
information, prices, and samples of the photographer's work, as well as the ability for customers to view proofs
and make photo selections online.
</li>
<li>
The sites for <a href="//bayvista.org" title="Bay Vista Baptist Church">Bay Vista Baptist Church</a> and
<a href="//olivetbaptist.org" title="Olivet Baptist Church">Olivet Baptist Church</a> utilize a "static site
generator," where the entire site is generated from source files, then served. It requires no back-end database,
which means that the server can send them as fast as its clients can take them. These two sites even have a
generated podcast feed! Adding content to these types of sites requires a bit more technical knowledge beyond
"typing text in a box," but it is a great way to build ultra-fast, scalable web sites.
</li>
<li>
This site is a single-page application (SPA) utilizing the <a href="//vuejs.org">Vue.js</a> JavaScript
framework. The application pages are generated based on an internal data set, and the other pages are simple
text components. Its bundling means that the initial page is small, and after the initial load, it runs entirely
in the browser or on a phone or tablet. Sites that reference external data sets would still need to access the
Internet to retrieve data, but this is much more efficient than having to download the entire page every single
click.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>WordPress Design, Customization, and Support</h3>
<ul>
<li>
We helped <router-link to="/applications/cassy-fiano" title="Cassy Fiano">Cassy Fiano</router-link> and
<a href="http://melissablogs.com" title="Dr. Melissa Clouthier &bull; Information Pollination">Dr.Melissa
Clouthier</a> both move their blogs from Blogspot to their own domains.
</li>
<li>
We migrated <router-link to="/applications/liberty-pundits" title="Liberty Pundits">Liberty
Pundits</router-link> from a custom blog platform to WordPress, and set up and maintained their server, which
routinely cleared 100,000 hits per day in its prime.
</li>
<li>
For <a href="//www.futilitycloset.com" title="Futility Closet">Futility Closet</a>, we moved their site from a
shared hosting platform to its own <abbr title="Virtual Private Server">VPS</abbr>, to enable it to handle its
ever-increasing traffic.
</li>
<li>
TCMS and NSXapp both used WordPress as their front end, which also provided a public web presence that the
customers could update themselves.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
On our <a href="//techblog.djs-consulting.com" title="DJS Consulting Tech Blog">tech blog</a> you can browse the
<a href="//techblog.djs-consulting.com/category/wordpress" title="WordPress - DJS Consulting Tech Blog">WordPress</a>
category for information on plug-ins, and you'll find that the themes on all of the WordPress blogs linked on the
right have been customized.
</p>
<h2>Web Services</h2>
<p>
A web service is a way of using the Internet to provide or accept information that makes sense to computers; this
allows other sites or applications to consume information from, or provide information to, your service. This
enables communication between applications, without having to establish any communication channels other than the
ones that web browsers already use. It isn't the best fit for every application, but when it is useful, it is
<em>very</em> useful.
</p>
<p>
Photography by Michelle has a web service that a desktop application utilizes to create the online proof sets
right from the computer where the images reside. We also
<a href="//techblog.djs-consulting.com/2010/4040-web-service.html" title="40/40 Web Service">wrote a service</a>
for the 2010 <a href="http://erlc.com/4040/" title="40/40 Prayer Vigil - Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention">40/40
Prayer Vigil</a>, which was utilized by several sites to display the current day's (or hour's) prayer focus, and
<a href="//techblog.djs-consulting.com/2012/4040-web-service-for-2012.html" title="40/40 Web Service for 2012">wrote
one for 2012</a> as well. <em>(As the ERLC does not host these any more, this service is no longer active.)</em>
</p>
<h2>Legacy Data Sharing</h2>
<p>
Our background in mainframe applications gives us a knowledgeable perspective on retrieving information from
older, &ldquo;legacy&rdquo; systems. This data can be migrated to a more modern relational or document database,
where a web application can retrieve the information; in some cases, the data can even be exposed as a web service
in place. These types of systems are often a great way for companies to expose their data to their customers,
without having to move their day-to-day system from its current environment. While we currently have no active
projects along these lines, our developers have done them in the past for other organizations; sadly, none can be
linked publicly.
</p>
<h2>Why Web-Based?</h2>
<p>
Developing a web-based solution has many advantages, whether that application can be used just on a local, private
network (an intranet), or on the Internet.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The application is available from any computer connected to the network &mdash; your home computer, your mobile
phone or tablet, a shared comptuer in a library - wherever!
</li>
<li>
There is no special software to install &mdash; every computer and mobile device has a web browser on it, and we
ensure our solutions work on today's most popular web browsers, including Microsoft&reg; Edge, Mozilla Firefox,
and Google Chrome.
</li>
<li>
Web-based solutions are easy to implement in a step-by-step fashion, so your most critical needs can be
addressed and deployed first. Enhancements are generally easy to do as well.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
We'd be happy to discuss your information technology needs, and how we may be able to help you. Just

As an early Father&rsquo;s Day 2005 present, I received a new Averatec 6240 laptop. Being the Linux enthusiast
that I am, within 24 hours of getting it, I had wiped the Windows XP Home Edition&reg; that came on it. The
previous week, I had downloaded <a href="http://www.whiteboxlinux.org">White Box Enterprise Linux
(http://www.whiteboxlinux.org)</a> version 4, with an eye to upgrading my existing computer, so I had a recent set
of CDs burned already. (WBEL is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as is CentOS, so these instructions may be
helpful for all RHEL derivatives.) I&rsquo;ve organized this into topics &ndash; just click one to jump right to

This may seem like a waste of time (especially if you don&rsquo;t have a Knoppix CD lying around already, but this
information can be invaluable when you try to get these devices working. A couple of things jump out from the
above list &ndash; most of the hardware in this box was made by Silicon Integrated Systems, with the notable
exception of the cardbus controller and the 802.11 (wireless) network adapter.
</p>
<h2><a name="partitioning"></a>Partitioning</h2>
<p>
Partitioning was a particular concern for me, as I wanted to set up a dual-boot Windows/Linux installation.
Windows must have its files on the first partition for it to successfully boot, so I set up Windows first. I
messed up a bit, as I tried to declare a 100MB boot partition as the first partition. Windows insisted on
formatting it, so it could put its boot files on it, so I basically have a wasted 100MB at the front of my drive.
(Not a big deal&hellip;)
</p>
<p>
I created a 12GB partition for Windows, and a 15GB partition for &ldquo;shared&rdquo; data &ndash; I formatted it
as FAT32 (vfat), so that both Windows and Linux can read it. This was fine, but combined with my extra 100MB
partition, the WBEL installer was unable to automatically partition the remaining free space.&nbsp; This
isn&rsquo;t a big problem &ndash; there&rsquo;s are two pretty simple rules to remember about partitions that
Linux needs&hellip;
</p>
<ul>
<li>
There must be a root (&ldquo;/&rdquo;) partition (I calculated the size of this by subtracting the amount of
swap space I needed (see the next rule), then allocating the remaining free space to the root partition)
</li>
<li>
There must be a swap partition (actually the &ldquo;swap&rdquo; filesystem type) that is twice as big as your
RAM (for this machine, that meant 1024MB)
</li>
</ul>
<p>Here is my current partition table&hellip;</p>
<blockquote>
<pre># /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders

</blockquote>
<h2><a name="installing"></a>Installing</h2>
<p>
Installing Linux is naturally the first thing you&rsquo;ll need to do. However, the default install options did
not work for me. What did work was <tt>linux nofb xdriver=sis</tt>. This tells anaconda to not use a framebuffer
(which, as I read, is incompatible with most of the LCD flat-panels that laptops have), and to use the
&ldquo;sis&rdquo; (Silicon Integrated Systems) driver. Even with this, the installer will not detect the SiS video
card or the flat-panel display &ndash; but that&rsquo;s okay, just let it install with the VESA driver and a
generic 1024&times;768 layout. It&rsquo;ll be stretched, but definitely readable. (See the &ldquo;video&rdquo;
topic for how to fix this.) Also, if you really mess something up, you&rsquo;ll need to pass those parameters in
the rescue mode &ndash; the full command is <tt>linux rescue nofb xdriver=sis</tt>.
</p>
<p>
I picked the server install, and selected most packages &ndash; this setup allows me to run both GNOME and KDE,
and build applications for either. Be sure to install the system files, so you can compile kernel modules if you
need them (which you&rsquo;ll need to do for the xdriver and wireless driver). Do not skip the OpenOffice.org I18N
libraries &ndash; even though they&rsquo;re huge, it won&rsquo;t run without them. (I learned that the hard way.)
</p>
<h2><a name="video"></a>Video</h2>
<p>
I mentioned that during the install, the monitor would not be detected. Using the system viedo config, you can set
the LCD panel to 1280&times;800. Then, head over to <a href="http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisvga.shtml">Thomas
Winischhofer&rsquo;s site about the SiS video driver</a>. He is the author of the SiS driver that&rsquo;s
distributed with Linux, and his site has a lot of information about this chipset. On his site, he has built on
that base, in his own time, and created a very usable driver for the SiS chipset. There are links to download
various products &ndash; I downloaded the driver and the sisctrl program, and built them.
</p>
<p>
Once I restarted the machine, it was better, but not quite there. I posted on the forums (also on the Winischhofer
site) about my problem, and the author himself responded
(<a href="http://www.winischhofer.at/sisforum/viewtopic.php?t=76">the thread is here</a>).&nbsp; In my case,
1280&times;800 was not put in by the driver &ndash; but, I think it may have been because I hadn&rsquo;t set the
LCD panel settings when I installed the driver.
</p>

The RaLink wireless ethernet card has a very capable open-source driver. It can be downloaded from
<a href="http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page">SerialMonkey&rsquo;s web site</a>. I downloaded
the driver, followed the instructions, and couldn&rsquo;t get it to work. It installed the adapter as ra0, but
Linux was finding it as eth1 - and I couldn&rsquo;t get eth1 to change to ra0, or ra0 to change to eth1. I finally
posted a message on the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1294781&amp;forum_id=370891">driver&rsquo;s
SourceForge.net forums</a>, and the author told me that I needed to use <tt>make install-fedora</tt> instead of
just <tt>make install</tt>.
</p>
<p>
Every so often, I had problems getting the wireless card to connect with my home LAN. I changed my DHCP lease
times from two weeks to two hours, and that problem cleared up. I think, for some reason, the router was not
sensing when the wireless card would disconnect &ndash; so, when it tried to connect again, the router would just
ignore it. Windows didn&rsquo;t seem to have similar problems, but that&rsquo;s a small tweak to make that
hasn&rsquo;t affected any of the other computers on the network. I have gotten good responses from the developers
of the wireless driver, and hope to be able to help them track this down if they&rsquo;re interested. (They are
concentrating most of their new work on a new driver called &ldquo;rt2x00&Prime; that will work for all RaLink
RT2400 and RT2500 series network adapters, so this feature may be available in them. They&rsquo;ve also moved
their forums - <a href="http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/index.php">the official support forms can be found
here</a>.)

<h2><a name="tweaks"></a>Other Tweaks</h2>
<p>They&rsquo;ll be here soon!</p>
<h2><a name="left"></a>What&rsquo;s Left?</h2>
<p>Issues I&rsquo;m still working on&hellip;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>PCMCIA</strong> &ndash; This is so slow initializing that rhgb (Red Hat&rsquo;s graphical booter)
actually switches back to console one. I&rsquo;m sure there&rsquo;s a way to make it not take so long, I just
need to figure out what it is.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Audio Input</strong> &ndash; I tried to use the microphone in jack, and nothing would take sound from
it.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Shared Data Between XP and WBEL</strong> &ndash; This is working differently than WBEL3 did &ndash; once
I figure it out, it&rsquo;ll be here too
</li>
