NightFox
Travis’s reference library for infrastructure, programming, networking, Linux, legacy web software, and professional driving.
-
Expanded Buses and Professional Driving into a full operator's field guide covering my driving history, training, vehicle geometry, mirrors, air brakes, loading, backing, inspections, defensive driving, bus ownership, and reusable vehicle profiles.
-
Added a new Hosting and Infrastructure section covering provider operations, service models, cPanel, Proxmox, backups, migrations, monitoring, data centers, incident response, capacity planning, and operator checklists.
-
Rebuilt the homepage as a portal to the site's guides, projects, tools, and archives.
-
Expanded the ColdFusion section into a ColdFusion MX-era learning and preservation resource.
-
Overhauled the Programming section with practical PHP, MySQL, application security, deployment, and legacy-development material.
The original NightFox website
NightFox first appeared during the AOL and early personal-web era. The site eventually returned to the nightfox818.com domain it used in 2007.
I have been building websites and working with technology since the mid-2000s. My work has grown from PHP and shared hosting into Linux systems, virtualization, data-center infrastructure, networking, and small-business technology.
Outside the server room, I am also a professional bus driver and transportation-business owner. That combination means this site can jump from BGP and ColdFusion to air brakes and school-bus tail swing without warning.
