More Development

Such an exciting day! [/sarcasm] 🙂 Much of today was (yet again) spent redeveloping the Largenets Content Management System. For the new site, the CMS will basically be rewritten from scratch and will have many improvements that allow for easier management of the site including a web-based WYSIWYG editor. Once the CMS is finished, work will recommence on the customer

Still Developing

Well, I’m still spending time developing the new Largenets site. A large portion of today was spent planning the RDBMS backend and CMS of the Largenets site. Everything is starting to shape together nicely so hopefully it won’t be too long before the new site gets launched.

Outage Today

A short outage took place early this evening on UNI01, the main shaunewing.com server to perform some software upgrades. This server hosts mail, images, journal, mrtg and the main site. The other two servers were up and running, but as the images and style sheets are served from UNI01, not all pages may have looked as they should. All seems

Web Developing!

I’ve been busy the past few days developing a new website for Largenets. Whilst I can’t go into specifics at the moment, I can say that this site will have an easy to use CMS (Content Management System) as well as a fully integrated customer area featuring billing, helpdesk, knowledge base and more on one login! Hopefully the new site

DVD Collection Updated

I’ve updated my DVD Collection to include my most recently purchased DVDs – Legally Blonde, Minority Report, Enemy of the State and Passenger 57. I also noticed that two DVDs in my collection hadn’t been added – Miss Congeniality and The Matrix. These have now been added.

MRTG Graphs Improved

I’ve made some improvements to the scripting behind the MRTG Graphs. Previously my home server would automatically upload the MRTG graphs every 20 minutes, despite them being updated every 5 minutes to save on bandwidth. If they were uploaded every 5 minutes, traffic on uploading the graphs alone would be over 1gb per month. Now to save on bandwidth, the

Back from Melbourne

After a wonderful few days in Melbourne, we touched down in Sydney at 2:35pm today. The weather on landing wasn’t the best with heavy clouds + rain. Whilst on board Virgin Blue, I bought Richard Branson’s book Losing My Virginity. I also bought a model of a Virgin Blue Boeing 737-700. Melbourne was great. We visited the Rialto Towers, Old

In Melbourne

As I write this journal entry, I’m in Melbourne in my room at the Hotel Ibis. The flight to Melbourne was quite good. There was a small amount of minor crosswind on landing, but otherwise it was lovely. The city is quite smokey. Apparently smoke from fires around Canberra and the NSW/VIC border has been brought to Melbourne from the

Two New Sections

I’ve added two new sections to the site under misc. These are: The two new sections don’t really serve much of a purpose but I thought they might be interesting in some geeky way 🙂

One day to go!

Early Monday morning I leave for Melbourne for a few days with Justin. I’ll be leaving home a bit after 7am to catch a 9:15am flight (extra time allows for delays and to have some breakfast at the airport). When I get to Melbourne I’ll be staying in the Hotel Ibis Little Bourke Street. Coming home I’ll be taking a
