WordPress Permalink Issue when migrating to Bluehost.

Migrating from GoDaddy to Bluehost == Less than painless
Posted by Ryan in Technology on December 7, 2010
So my hosting plan and domain were about to expire with GoDaddy, so I decided it was time to move to a different hosting provider. GoDaddy was starting to cost more and was getting more and more annoying to use… It could take up to an hour just to change a simple setting, so I found Bluehost and signed up for the one year hosting plan. Once I figured out the process of transferring my domains, I realized that would be the easy part.
Once I got the domain’s transferred, I downloaded all of my SQL databases and files from GoDaddy and wen’t through and uploaded what I thought I needed. I had to do some reconfiguration of the wordpress config file as I wasn’t able to use the same database name as GoDaddy had assigned. Once I was able to access my home page, I didn’t really bother looking at any of the other pages on the wordpress site and decided that it was a success. I was WRONG, it ends up, none of the Permalinks were working, so if I tried to click on one of my posts or any of the other pages in the site (excluding the site admin) I would get a 404 error or something similar. I have managed to find a solution and will post the link in a separate post as well.
If you’re having the permalink issue on Bluehost, follow these instructions.

Progress Begins with the Breakdown-mobile
So for a while now, I’ve been having issues with my car. One of those problems included the car having trouble starting. A previous mechanic made it obvious that they didn’t even want to try to fix it. So tomorrow, I will finally be getting some work done. The fuel pressure regulator is going to be replaced. Apparently it’s pushing fuel into the vacuum line rather than the fuel injectors. Hopefully it fixes some of the issues.

Firefox freezes up after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04
Posted by Ryan in Personal, Technology on May 22, 2010
Every time someone would attempt to send me an IM on facebook, Firefox would go gray and stop responding for a moment. I have discovered the quickest way to solve this problem, is to delete the .mozilla folder in my user profile.
CAUTION: This will remove all settings, extensions, and bookmarks in firefox.
Windows won’t boot after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Posted by Ryan in Technology on May 1, 2010
Today I updated my Ubuntu 9.10 install to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS. My machine also dual boots with Windows 7. After I upgraded I came to discover that I could no longer boot into Windows, in fact when I would try to boot to Windows it would just return to the GRUB boot menu. If you are experiencing this issue, feel free to check out these two websites for the answer.
Ubuntu Forum thread that led me to the second site.
