About Me

1. Network Infrastructure

   Wed 09 October 2013 networking web-hosting

   Just a post showing the network infrastructure for this blog since I think it looks pretty cool on my living room wall!

   

2. Falling At The First Hurdle

   Mon 30 September 2013 blog pelican

   

   I’ve had to change the theme of the blog because the CSS fairies have decreed that if there were a lot of tags or a small preview then bad things would happen with horizontal lines.

   The new theme is Gum and I actually like it better anyhow!

3. Static Blog

   Sat 28 September 2013 raspberry-pi web-hosting

   Since this site will be running on a Raspberry Pi, I’m moving over to a static site generator called Pelican with content served through Nginx. Seems to be able to handle around 150 requests per second, which sounds good to me.

4. Cloudflare DDclient Patch

   Thu 26 September 2013 cloudflare ddclient ddns perl

   Here’s a path I’ve written for ddclient that works with the Cloudflare JSON based API and I’m using it to serve the blog through Cloudflare. It’s based on a similar patch by Robert Ian Hawden last year. It’s written against version 3.8.0 of …

5. Hosting Migration 3.0

   Thu 26 September 2013 cloudflare ddclient dynamic-dns raspberry-pi web-hosting

   I’m moving the site again, this time to a little Raspberry Pi which is going to live with me at home. I’ve written a Cloudflare support patch patch for a dynamic DNS client so I don’t have to manually update my DNS records every time it changes …

6. Internet Protocol Enhancement

   Thu 08 November 2012 hosting ipv6

   

   Just a short post to say this blog is now available via both IPv4 and IPv6. Winter is coming.

7. Hosting Migration 2.0

   Tue 18 October 2011 prmgr.com rackspace security web-hosting

   I’ve switched hosting companies again, this time to prgmr.com. They’re another VPS provider like Rackspace. I never experienced any issues with them beyond a couple hours downtime but prgmr offer an even less mangaged service and pass on the savings of that to you.

   A little related …

8. Hosting Migration

   Mon 20 September 2010 rackspace servage vps web-hosting

   I’ve decided to move the site to a new webhost since unforutnately I’ve never had great service from Servage. They offer shared hosting which seems to be oversold to a truly absurd degree. The real dealbreaker was totally non-functional MySQL performance.

   To get away from these issues I …

9. Blog Reboot

   Wed 26 May 2010 blog

   A couple of months ago I posted on here that I was planning to reset everything on here. I’ve done that now.

   Originally I started this blog as an outlet for things I develop, mostly games, but over time I feel like the content just got diluted a lot …

10. Crapong

    Sun 30 March 2008 fenix games

    

    Crapong is a game I’ve written in Fenix for the GP2x and is the first ever game I’ve released. It’s a pretty basic Pong clone and my entry to the GP2x Community Competition as a learning experience. Despite the simplicity of the gameplay I’ve still managed …
