Stars Portal

What is Star's Portal?

Star's Portal is a personal/public resource website and blog for Starcript (Stars.)

Personal Blog is mostly tech related but will be about general topics including Linux, Photography, Network Security, and a few personal interests (e.g. LSD Dream Emulator.)
Resource section will contain example configuration files for common Linux Applications as well as a large personal collections of Wallpapers, Movies (non-copyrighted), and probably some Music that I like. Although this section is functional and you can view and download files, I don't have anything on there other than a couple configs and dotfiles. Eventually I will get around to organizing all the data that I have.
Photography section contains interesting scenes and landscapes caught throughout daily life. Not sure where this will be going, but everything is a work in progress. Photography is something I don't do often, and is just a passtime, so none of my photos I would consider "professional" quality.

Please check back for updates to the site in the Recent Updates sections for a list of changes. I have been busy with other things lately, so I updates and changes will be sparse.
A feedback address will be posted for reccomendations and changes to the site.

life was a lot more difficult as it was today, but it is important to know that I come from that lineage, and even though there were unsavory things about them, it shaped me into who I am today! Anyway, his father William, was a gambler, and alcoholic. He would go into town to
go get food for his family and tools for his farm, but would come home empty handed a lot of the time. This was because in town, there was temptation everywhere for such an addictive personality that he had. He would go to the bar, get drunk, and start gambling with the money
that he was supposed to use support his family.
This of course, was a very horrible thing for him to do, but at the same time, having an addictive personality, with the added stress of having so many children, does push a man to look for ways to escape the stresses that come with such a responsibility. I cannot blame him, for
I was not
