Old Gallery back online…

May 4, 2009

So after some dicking about following the move from the old server (a decrepit IBM X330 complete with ATA/33 and other such nonsense) to the new one (a shiny Dell R200!) and reconfiguring my site I’ve also put my old gallery back online. Anyone who uses Gallery2 will know that it can be a massive [...]

Top Albums for 2008

December 13, 2008

This year was pretty fucking great for music. Here’s a quick list of my favourites, but don’t read too much into the order:

Transistor Transistor – Ruined Lives. Everything these guys have ever put out is stellar. They’re one of the few hardcore bands that I can take seriously – their sound is sincere, they can [...]

Ongoing hosting / fork.freebsd.cx problems

November 6, 2008

As you may or may not have noticed fork.freebsd.cx (which hosts various sites, jails etc.) has had a recurring problem over the past few weeks, where we’re seeing some filesystem corruption which causes the box to panic and reboot.

DNS Issues

June 19, 2007

So the glue for most of the domains that I host (freebsd.cx and dischord.org mainly) has come unstuck (lolz) thanks to the IP addresses for both the primary and secondary authoritive nameservers for these domains being wrong. The IP for the primary changed on Sunday and while the secondary should have been be fine, [...]

Back, sort of…

March 27, 2006

So I imported all the old blog entries from Movable Type into this Wordpress installation, mucked about with some pre-made themes as I haven’t been bothered to sort a brand new one out (more on that in a sec), and here we are. Now I’ll just have to start writing some stuff again.
So yeah, [...]
