Day to Day Log

A lot has been happening over the last week and I have a lot more that I really need to document! The new server is up and running live and for anonymous users I think I've actually cracked everything although there may still be a few niggles. Some of the security factors keep sticking their head up such as SELinux blocking my php port after I'd rebooted the machine to check. Switching off SELinux was the short term fix, but now I have sorted the settings and an automatic reboot…

This is the first post via the new webserver setup. Have been having a bit of fun as the seven sites currently active all have different customisations and each needs some work still to remove the remaining non-functional parts such as a couple of sites not rendering the 'pagination' where there are more than 10 pages to display. In addition, the blogs package has not had any love in a long time so in addition to updating to the current programming rules of PHP8.4, it also needed mode…

Must have been having a bit of a brainstorm, but when this lot popped up on a search it looked interesting at the time.

Having had a nice day out yesterday, despite over 7 hours in the car (more in a rant), I sat down this morning to check a few facts. I was looking to check up a little more of my own time line, but first hit was my involvement with Firebird. I had been using it since the fort from Interbase, so when Mozilla tried to mussel in on the name I was quite vocal that it WOULD cause a conflict. I tried using Mistral to establish a few facts, but it quickly became obvious that facts are something that…

If it's not one thing it's another. Broadband has been out in Evesham for 4 days finally being restored yesterday. At least I should now see some automatic compensation, but having been without broadband for 6 days in the last three weeks I feel that 2 days compension is just a con? While the fibre was down I was using the phone's hotspot to at least stay in touch, but that can't restore the fixed IP address and websites. In any case the whole reason I had to get fibre fitted…
