| schestowitz | Hi Gerhard, | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | First of all, thank you so much (and to your daughter too) for researching what's virtually impossible for me to dig up. I add these notes to an archive which I maintain and expand over the years, both online (behind password) and locally on my hard-drive. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | Over the years I find that curation work on the Internet makes available more information from the past. Recently I found that Google had scanned some German books which mention relatives from the distant past (I share these with my grandfather) and sometimes there are travel records being digitised. Some of them were Albert's. Census data too has shown me that he moved from Germany to England; I am saddened to hear about his fate as I | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | thought that perhaps he had descendants here in the UK. One whom I know was here for a longer period of time is Earnst Schestowitz, whom I believe lived in London area, based on some recollection. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | I still carry the gold ring of my grandfather's cousin Walter. He had married a Catholic lady (my wife is Catholic too) and never had any children, which I think is why the ring ended up in my grandfather's possession. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | I always wondered if there are some remaining relatives in the area -- ones who are alive or descendants of those who lived. Despite an abundance of documentation, finding out the facts just 100 years later can be an impossible task. To pay respect to these people it's good to have such stories recorded and organised, which is what I was hoping to do since age 20 or thereabouts. My father told me that his mother, who had come from | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | Switzerland, still has some relatives in Zurich area. We never met any of them. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | Kinship of a biological nature is important, but kinship of a philosophical nature (adherence to human rights, peace, equality etc.) is a lot more important, based on what I discovered over the years. I tend to get along with many people based on grounds of principles rather than grounds of genetics and I value the work of those who respect fellow human beings. I thank you enormously for your work and I feel indebted for it. Let's keep | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | in touch for many years to come. | Nov 05 22:17 |

| schestowitz | Hi Susan, | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | I have begun updating a few pages. All of them are additive, meaning that I leave out nothing that you wrote, only expand it, e.g. by adding another contact option. I haven't yet gone to the Drupal config panel; I am trying to get a good look at the different sections of the site. I will need to figure out how to keep the stats pages and gallery pages (screenshots and "Me!") in tact after a migration. My hoster replied last night, | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | explaining what will be involved in migrating the domain name. I can forward this to you if you're curious. :-) It's just formality anyway (changing nameservers, contact details in ICANN, etc.), for now I can update the site while it's running from your server. | Nov 09 03:51 |

| schestowitz | That's good, thanks.

I have not begun site migration yet, but I will when I have a weekend free. | Nov 09 03:51 |

| schestowitz | I will access this server soon. I can begin migrating with scp, after finding out what's installed there and how it's all structured or glued (e.g. Gallery, stats, other files)... it's not a one-hour task, esp. not with proper testing. Please do me a small favour and keep the site in tact on the server even after you pull the plug; it'll serve as a sort of frozen backup, in case of some disaster (although I regularly back up my sites). | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | -) | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | I want to make a 100% compatible copy; no 404s or other issues. Sometimes it take a while to find the issues resulting from a migration. I recently had this happen when migrating techrights.org to the latest CentOS on a fresh install (Xen VM). | Nov 09 03:51 |

| schestowitz | Hi Gerhard, | Nov 05 22:16 |
| schestowitz | First of all, thank you so much (and to your daughter too) for researching what's virtually impossible for me to dig up. I add these notes to an archive which I maintain and expand over the years, both online (behind password) and locally on my hard-drive. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | Over the years I find that curation work on the Internet makes available more information from the past. Recently I found that Google had scanned some German books which mention relatives from the distant past (I share these with my grandfather) and sometimes there are travel records being digitised. Some of them were Albert's. Census data too has shown me that he moved from Germany to England; I am saddened to hear about his fate as I | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | thought that perhaps he had descendants here in the UK. One whom I know was here for a longer period of time is Earnst Schestowitz, whom I believe lived in London area, based on some recollection. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | I still carry the gold ring of my grandfather's cousin Walter. He had married a Catholic lady (my wife is Catholic too) and never had any children, which I think is why the ring ended up in my grandfather's possession. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | I always wondered if there are some remaining relatives in the area -- ones who are alive or descendants of those who lived. Despite an abundance of documentation, finding out the facts just 100 years later can be an impossible task. To pay respect to these people it's good to have such stories recorded and organised, which is what I was hoping to do since age 20 or thereabouts. My father told me that his mother, who had come from | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | Switzerland, still has some relatives in Zurich area. We never met any of them. | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | Kinship of a biological nature is important, but kinship of a philosophical nature (adherence to human rights, peace, equality etc.) is a lot more important, based on what I discovered over the years. I tend to get along with many people based on grounds of principles rather than grounds of genetics and I value the work of those who respect fellow human beings. I thank you enormously for your work and I feel indebted for it. Let's keep | Nov 05 22:17 |
| schestowitz | in touch for many years to come. | Nov 05 22:17 |

| schestowitz | Hi Susan, | Nov 09 03:50 |
| schestowitz | I have begun updating a few pages. All of them are additive, meaning that I leave out nothing that you wrote, only expand it, e.g. by adding another contact option. I haven't yet gone to the Drupal config panel; I am trying to get a good look at the different sections of the site. I will need to figure out how to keep the stats pages and gallery pages (screenshots and "Me!") in tact after a migration. My hoster replied last night, | Nov 09 03:50 |
| schestowitz | explaining what will be involved in migrating the domain name. I can forward this to you if you're curious. :-) It's just formality anyway (changing nameservers, contact details in ICANN, etc.), for now I can update the site while it's running from your server. | Nov 09 03:50 |
| schestowitz | >> Registrar transfers are simple, the process can be initiated in GoDaddy | Nov 09 03:50 |
| schestowitz | >> itself. I moved Techrights off it some years ago, before the whole SOPA | Nov 09 03:50 |
| schestowitz | >> mess. For now it might be better for me to just post via wherever the | Nov 09 03:50 |

| schestowitz | That's good, thanks. I asked a friend about it and he made suggestions as to how to test the site (DNS changes), taking just a fragment of the traffic first (for testing purposes), then turning the switch for everything. I have not begun site migration yet, but I will when I have a weekend free. | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | > but I'm sure you'll want the domain in your name. Let me get over there and | Nov 09 03:51 |

| schestowitz | Can you export this list of feeds and post that to a public page in TM? Let's share what we have with everyone, that's my philosophy. :-) | Nov 09 03:51 |

| schestowitz | > if something isn't working. | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | I will access this server soon. I can begin migrating with scp, after finding out what's installed there and how it's all structured or glued (e.g. Gallery, stats, other files)... it's not a one-hour task, esp. not with proper testing. Please do me a small favour and keep the site in tact on the server even after you pull the plug; it'll serve as a sort of frozen backup, in case of some disaster (although I regularly back up my sites). | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | -) | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | I want to make a 100% compatible copy; no 404s or other issues. Sometimes it take a while to find the issues resulting from a migration. I recently had this happen when migrating techrights.org to the latest CentOS on a fresh install (Xen VM). | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | > Anywho, let me go to godaddy and you see if you can get into server. I'm not | Nov 09 03:51 |

| schestowitz | > that bye post up and I'll log out and you can have it. | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | Several CMSs are very, very panicky about changing root user (too many dependencies), so I'll leave srlinuxx as exclusive God Mode for what requires it (not vital for regular news postings). | Nov 09 03:51 |
| schestowitz | Nov 09 03:51 | |

| schestowitz | > then you can change a dummy user I have to srlinuxx? You good with mysql? | Nov 09 03:51 |
