traffic shaping

Right – time to ditch flaky Apache modules and go and play with the real stuff. Well, I would, except that OS X ipfw doesn’t support the pipe…

new server

Well the move is complete – a bit of a trauma as it happened at one of the most busy moments in my personal life (well, so far…

crashed again

A better uptime: 141 days, but just as annoying as before as the cause is as yet uninvestigated. The replacement server has been rebuilt 3 times and is…

phew, sense at last

unexpected reboot

For no real reason (again) the system has rebooted. The server is now in a much cooler position than before, so it’s more annoying than ever. Ok, so…

more images: red rock canyon

From Red Rock Canyon, Nevada (March 2002). A much reduced selection compared to the previous album as I’m trying to find a way to properly blend the sky…

new images: cheddar gorge caves

Just to add to the previous Cheddar album on the {gallery} there is now one of the Caves in Cheddar Gorge.

gallery.minimal.cx back on-line

After a very prelonged absence, the {gallery} is back again, although much, much smaller than before. There’s only one album in there at the moment, and even that…
