New Server, and News!

April 30, 2006

So ive spent the last week or two setting up a new server. Its a box I set up a couple of years ago, to be a mandrake webserver. Then it moved to become my Windows 2003 server. Shortly after that my family started using it as a workstation. Now its down in Southampton here with me.

This time it’s running Gentoo, an operating system im growing quite attatched to these days. (Though as I’ve said before, I’m not quite ready to give up my desktop to linux yet.)

This box is doing some nice NATing in my hall so that I can connect my desktop, laptops (now in the plural, I love you ECS!), WAP etc all up to the single network connection.

As I write this post (well, as I write the dev-server version of this post), its running on freshly installed apache2/php/mysql setup.

Enough about my server

So i went to one of MSN’s new marketing events this week - a dinner in London.
It was a good night out Met a few people I’d heard of for the first time, namely Zero1 and dwergs. Met some completely new people, including Sarah (sorry, didnt catch your last name ) who I caught the train back with.
There were a couple of microsofties there too, but I didnt really get the chance to speak to them, they took up camp at the other end of the dinner table ¬_¬ (perhaps next time).

In other news, thanks to the bank holiday, 3-day weekend, score! I’ve written myself a TODO list, which includes spending a bit of time on this site, and some work on Audiator Live! (but more about that later )

Also scheduled myself some time to play some Burnout this week, since I bought it right before I went away on holiday, and haven’t had much free time to play with it since
