broken-ness and other facts of life

Ok, so I’m now using my own XML/PHP based solution, but things are not fully restored. Some items have been broken for a long time (like the gallery),…

odd site view

I’ve finally got fed up with the poor performance of the site and my machine, and have ditched the database blogging software. I’m most of the way through…

server crash

Well, that was fun. Trying to copy off the websites I want to keep live whilst playing with the server, and it goes and crashes. Total lockup, with…

server reboot

Oh joy. Another crash. Around 03:30, and yet again, no clues in the log files.

server reboot

Great – another unexplained reboot, along with an httpd deamon that refused to start. Time to begin downloading NetBSD RC3, I think…

unexpected downtime

apache mod_include oops

Thanks very much to Christian for pointing out that the link to my mod_include update hadn’t been changed at http://modules.apache.org since I moved over to using PHP for…

Automatic Translation

I’m not sure of the accuracy of the results, but you can now browse this site in eight other languages, thanks to Altavista’s Babelfish service. Just click on…

New search options

A quick reshuffle of the logo, and the extra space is now given over to blog, internet or site searching. Find out more by using the searching link…

Altered layout

Removed the useless large bitmap, but I’m not sure the result is as pleasing on the eye. It’s smaller and faster to load, but I think it might…

Google searching

Well, it was a simple cut-n-paste job, and I’m always using the site, so it seemed logical. Not happy with the layout yet, but it does work 🙂
