Okay, so I’ve finally made the decision to not host my own stuff.
For the most part during the years, I’ve had a Freebsd catchall machine that served as most of what i needed. WWW/SMTP (antispam/antivirus) and various other things I’ve hosted such as subversion back when i was at Uni. Now that I’m really looking at something more stable and hassle-free, I’ve got the spare cashola to get something half decent and move it all off my home link. I’ve also decided to start slaving better connected primary/secondary DNS hosts to further decrease the reliance on my current single connection. So, for now - I have far less to worry about when I start moving machines around, and out. With luck I’ll have a flexible infrastructure in the end that i can manipulate as per situation demands it.
Well. Seems that there was an issue with my LJ synching plugin for wordpress, that created all of my posts on LJ as ‘backdated’ and didnt appear on peoples friends’ pages. Hopefully, that’s now fixed.
Any of you who care, there’s about 5 months of my life you’ve missed! ;P
Just upgraded the Wordpress install from 1.2.2 to 1.5.
Looks pretty decent for the most part, some things have been streamlined, and the default theme has changed a tad, but its all for the better. Hopefully i can filter out those damned php parse errors that 1.2.2 was giving me, but we’ll see.
I really dislike my SEP and PHP lectureres. They’re just so retarded in the head. And stressing me, which is bad. I dont like being stressed.
Sometime during the break, i might try my hand at creating a wordpress template, and get to image manipulation so it looks all pretty. Or, i might not. Lazy? Perhaps. Nonchalant? Definately.
