Thank you!

I checked my email this morning to be pleasantly surprised… Someone had donated $10 towards this site. I’ll admit I haven’t been here very much in the past month (it’s been a busy month), but I’ll try to keep updating things as I go.

To the donator (you know who you are) - a big thank you!

Sucking up my bandwidth…

So… some jerk ended up slamming my site with downloads for XPize, a program that I offered to mirror for Xpero over at MSFN.org. Over the course of this past weekend alone, someone went through 68GB of bandwidth… that’s not cool.

Yay!!! Halfway done exams

So yes… I’ve been neglecting this site… It seems Dreamhost had a bit of a hiccup with one of their switches a couple of days ago, so if you couldn’t see the site, that’s why.

In the process of looking up that information, I found out some pretty funny information about my hosting. The server that does the PHP is called ‘ritz”, and the server that does my MySQL is called “tramp”. I guess you could say my hosting package should be called “The tramp on the ritz”.

Anyways… I’m halfway done my exams. That’s the main reason why I haven’t written much here lately. I’ve got 8 in total. The 4 so far have been alright - I just need to pass everything to get through this term, and thereby my degree. Wish me luck…

Bad Behaviour

I’ve installed a new plugin onto my site (you may or may not have noticed it) called Bad Behavior. It’s designed to keep the baddies out so that you guys can keep enjoying this site. It’s very simple to add to Wordpress, so if you’re running a blog or a CMS, you should look into adding it to your site.

Forum!!!

So… I decided to install phpBB on here, just for the heck of it and get a simple forum up and running. It’s not much, but if you ever want to find a place to ask a question or chat or something, just sign up for an account and post away.
