things that only i could care about

Live !

Finally replaced the old site with the new blogging version. Ok, so things may go offline later if I finally get the NetBSD thing sorted out, but the old site which has been languishing for over 3 years has finally been given a make over.

Strange uptime records/site downtime

If you look at the uptime records in the stats section, you might see a few very short runs. There might also be some times when the sites on this system are unavailable. I’m basically fed up with the 2.0.24 kernel that Cobalt have for the Qube. Yes, it’s an old product, and I don’t [...]

20,000 logs under the sql

Over 20,000 lines of logs added from the old data on this system. None of the previous web server info is available, but then who wants to see 2,000+ CodeRed hits ? Most of the data is in – there were over 26,000 entries at one point, but I’ve pulled a lot of the rubbish. [...]
