A big step

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I took the big plunge last night. Now that I’ve transferred over all the content from the Geocities site to either this location or the child abuse site, I went ahead and deleted the Geocities site. It is no more, after 6 years of existence and many different permutations. It’s time to move on to bigger and better things, but it’ll always have a soft spot for the place that gave me my start. 🙂

As you know I’ve been looking around for a “test” machine that has enough power to run some server software so I can learn more about some things that we don’t use here at work, but that also won’t break the bank. Namely, Active Directory and IIS, while also perhaps building in a Linux/Apache partition on it as well, to learn about how those things work. (Especially since I only have a 120 day eval of Windows 2000 Server!) I think I’m going to hit the super computer sale at Vet’s Memorial Coliseum this weekend and see if maybe I can find something that will fit the bill a little cheaper than some of the store built systems I’ve priced out so far. We’ll see!

    William left a comment to the effect that the version of Red Hat I was trying to install uses LILO and that might be the thing that’s interfering with the NT-based install. (That’s why it worked flawlessly with 98 and not on this new server.) Getting a later version that uses a different boot loader…

  • My contribution to the RSS bandwidth question

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As discussed in the comments, using Bloglines might be considered a better way to limit the bandwidth I use in checking on feeds, since it checks once an hour and shares the feed with all of the subscribers to that feed. So I decided to give it a try. It’s better than I thought it…

    Ah I see where Jim is launching his new business, MindStorm Hosting. He’s even going to be a sponser at Gnomedex and bringing some stuff for the attendees. Man, I’m really gonna be missing out if I can’t go, aren’t I? *L* Actually getting to go to Gnomedex might be a nice consolation prize. If…
