I am a bit behind schedule for my update show posts but unfortunately a good portion of August was taken up by medical issues that have just recently FINALLY been taken care of.
First off, an update on a thing that I mentioned in the last post – I received confirmation that the old copies of the website were removed from the Wayback machine. I pulled most of the old posts into the current site, with a banner saying they had been recovered. I skipped pulling in posts that were a lot of arm flailing and screaming – posts that offered nothing that could be considered content. Now maybe the snapshots will be cleaner and more complete – or I can ask to have something run, we will see.
Next up, the Internet monitor, completely a solution for a first world problem, OR, I can see a smaller or medium sized enterprise being able to put such a device to use. Also, I wanted to use up those parts I wrote about in the post, they were just sitting around otherwise. I really wanted to think of some way to include part of a “Who’s on first” joke, but came up short while I was writing.
The last major update I have is the rebuild of the Unreal Tournament servers I had these guys up for a while and then saw they were just performing really poorly (and documented poorly) so decided it would be best to just rebuild them. Which actually was worth the headache – the servers are more stable AND they recover better after reboots, which the previous servers had trouble doing.
The plan is to make these update posts about every 2 weeks to give time to plenty of time to gather updates to write about. The biggest challenge is to make notes to write the posts and not slump into the apathy of “no one wants to read this” … I mean, if you are here, you want to read it. So, until next time …
