Our ANZAC heroes fought long and hard in many different wars to fight off threats towards the freedom of our great nation. Australia would not be what it is today without their selfless devotion to this country. On this ANZAC Day holiday morning, I have been doing some coding to make my archive of articles [...]
In my ongoing development of MAWstatus, I have just completed some changes to make cross posting to Twitter and Facebook more reliable. I discovered this morning that one of my scripts received an error code back from an API that I had never seen before, so I had to make some minor changes to accommodate [...]
Apologies for a brief partial outage. A combination of mental tiredness, dumb fingers, and a failed VPN experiment from a few weeks ago contributed to a bizarre sequence of events that created a weird ARP resolution problem within my internal network. I was ready to yell at my stupid ISP – who are normally responsible [...]
I have just made a few minor changes to the site – I noticed late last week that somewhere along the line, some kind of change – (either to a new version of the CMS along the way, or something I have altered) – inadvertently broke the CSS layout in some browsers, notably Internet Explorer [...]
Well, everything seems to be back up and running 100%. There was some bizarre name resolution SNAFU after the re-delegation of my domain to new name servers yesterday. Special thanks to Paul and the guys at Kilbot for their tireless efforts to get it all sorted out, and I recommend them for anyone looking for [...]
If you find a few broken things on my site this morning, it’s because my “now previous” name services provider broke three of my four domain names overnight. I’ve re-delegated them this morning, but it might take some time for things to propagate fully around the internet, giving a few odd results until such time.
Just a quick note to announce that, after a few requests, I have added comments to the website. I have chosen to use the Disqus comments system, for easy management. If you are running your own site, I highly recommend Disqus as a decent option for a commenting system.
I thought it was time for a site refresh, so today I uploaded and tested the new theme for my site. Almost everything has gone off without a hitch – but there are a few things that haven’t quite translated from my testing server, to the live server. So I have a little more tinkering [...]
I’ve recently had some issues with my ISP – (who I plan to move away from, as soon as technical barriers are gone) – and have been having some trouble my all of my websites. As the first stage of removing the “technical barriers”, I’m currently in the process of re-engineering a couple of backend [...]
You may have noticed that the site was down for a couple of hours yesterday, and when it was back up, that most of the content was missing until this morning. Well, my fault – I was doing some database maintenance, and inadvertently dropped the entire database. Normally, that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Except [...]
