Transwarp drive does exist.
All this website stuff has led to some very late nights of late. The plan tonight was to relax and have an early night . Note to self. Don’t make a plan. Due to reasons that would be improper to post here I have had to rush the in-laws to the A&E department at the […]
We have lift off
Wow! I would never have believe that this website building, hosting, server running, would take off like it has. Not this site. Who is going to read this? Maybe a few. No, I refer to my weather page, over at www.westcountryweather.co.uk. Linked from the Facebook page of the same name and complimenting it. I had […]
White goods
We came within a smidge of a fire this evening. The toaster was put on and left unsupervised. Its an electronically controlled toaster and it malfunctioned, to the point that the toast all but ignited. Fortunately it was spotted in time, switched off and thrown outside. The kitchen was smoked out and there was a […]
Didn’t think this through really.
Last night I published the new weather page to my Facebook group. I had fitted a visitor counter to the site and this evening it had gathered about 30 hits. Excellent!! Exceeeptttt……. Ah! The plan was to take the server down during the summer due to the noise, heat and power consumption, and to let […]
And then there were three….
I’ve got to the bottom of one thing. These “free” domain names are anything but. Free now, better part of 30 quid a piece when they need renewing next year. This domain is cool and will stay. The darmain.uk domain, we’ll see. If I have valid use then I will keep it. However, this little […]
And then there were two…
The next step, having managed to acquire two domain names was to see if it were possible to have two separate websites. After some mucking about on the server console with “virtual servers” I discover that it is possible. So this is darmain.co.uk, whereas darmain.uk goes somewhere entirely different. yet both are served from Dwarflord. […]
You have mail, or not it would seem.
I am progressing with the development of this site. There are lots of ideas afoot and its great that I can actually go downstairs and see the machine that drives the show. So my latest update is a contact form to allow you to send me a message. For obvious reasons I don’t want to […]
Time for a name
This evening, errr, yesterday evening as its gone midnight now, oh hell, you know what I mean!, I made an intended move to register a domain name for my fixed IP. An here it is www.darmain.co.uk. Rockin’
A change of perspective
Folding@Home has been a bit of a technical challenge for me. Computers do not normally run flat out on a users job. To put it under full stress and then do some good at the same time, it gave purpose to the exercise. My mother suffers from Parkinson’s disease. Her mother before her was taken […]
Migration to WordPress
It’s late but success has been had, of sorts. I have migrated to WordPress. It was either that or a training course on HTML5. I don’t have the time for that.
