Well… so far it’s been an uneventful 2005 technically. So far this week I’ve re-built both my home workstation and my home server (wanted a smaller case for my workstation and the bigger case for my server) and Cypher (the server) is now running dual Athlon MP 1.2Ghz chips on a Tyan Tiger MP. The dual Celeron 400’s on the BP6 were good, but getting a little long in the tooth now.

The other thing is, I could do with finding some new hosting. Not that I’m unhappy with my current arrangement, it’s just that I need to be able to host more than one site so I can move the ones hosted from home. So… any suggestions for good hosts in the UK would be much appreciated! I can’t use a US one (such as Site5.com) as I have no way of paying for it (they all need Mastercard or Visa y’see).

The last thing to mention is that I’m probably going to re-launch the site with a new design and a new backend (Wordpress in case you hadn’t guessed) so that will be soon! I will endeavour to keep it much more up to date.

I’ve just finished and put live the Beat That Promotions website. I put it together in my spare time for the drum centre round the corner. It’s built entirely in semantic XHTML and CSS so if you’re interested go have a look.

It’s Half-Life 2 day! Woooo! And as a testament to how damn good it is, I can say the I’ve been playing it for about 4.5 hours already.

Edit: Well, today I ended up playing for 6 hours, which is far longer than I usually play games for. I might submit a mini review later…

My first post in about two months, and it’s to mark the release of Firefox 1.0!

Ok, I know there has been very little in the way of updates here lately. That’s mainly because my personal life has kinda gotten in the way of everything else lately (and no, details are not forthcoming here I’m afraid).

In other news, I’m now giving serious thought to moving this site over to Wordpress. Partly because of the new MovableType licensing, and partly because it’s PHP based, rather than Perl. And having played with it a bit, I certainly am quite taken with it.
