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

Bye Radio Wazee

You’ve probably noticed a link to radio.wazee on the front page of my site before (under the “now playing on my computer”). I’ve been listening to wazee for several months almost constantly – ever since my ISP iiNet setup a free relay. Unfortunately, RIAA is imposing US$6500 worth of fees on wazee and Howard@Wazee has been offered a job with

Whoops DNS!

I was screwing with the DNS last night – moving DNS for all three servers over to the main Largenets DNS servers – ns1/2.largenets.net When I done this I made a small oversight and didn’t set the server as authoritative for shaunewing.org So, some incorrect results were being returned. I apologise for this. Everything is working fine now, but some

Subdomains more consistent

I’ve made some changes to the DNS and subdomains are now consistent among the various domains. For example, whereas previously only journal.shaunewing.com worked – now journal.shaunewing.org works also. Whereas previously only media.shaunewing.org worked – now media.shaunewing.com works also. Because I was required to redelegate the domains to the Largenets DNS servers to set this up, there may be a day
