The aftermath

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

Last night, at sometime around 11:15pm, the power went out and I had a triple loss. I lost all of the work I had been doing in the past two hours in photoshop, I lost 6 months of uptime on this server, and my UPS for this server failed. The UPS didn’t just fail though, it proceeded to start burning something…so now I’m UPS free. :/

The only good news that came from this server’s down time was that the kernel upgrade I made about 4 months ago worked. =D Boy would I have been mad if that failed too…

Also since last night, I’ve been forming an IRC network with a few others. The network is called thewildcard.org. Connect to irc.thewildcard.org. We have about 5 servers that should be linked in within the next few hours.

In other news, there is a rare find living near my house, an albino robin. Click the picture:

Rack page updated

Sunday, January 8th, 2006

Well, I’ve been busy today. I finished up the live search on osdever.net, started a KDE 3 FreeBSD 6.0 port compile. Which failed about 6 hours through and I had to do some manual crap to get it going again. :) The server rack page is also updated.

Later on this week, I will be creating the page for the first computer to go in the rack, a mini-itx router/firewall. :) Stay tuned…

Usermin up for /Dev/Nulled Hosting

Monday, December 12th, 2005

Well I was on a friend of mine’s (Helio, an admin of the wyldryde.org irc network) server and he had usermin up. I had always wanted to play with it on this server, I have just always forgotten about it. Well today I decided to get it setup and configured. Usermin/Webmin are very great tools for admins on the go.

Webmin allows you to control basically every aspect of your server and more. Usermin comes in when you want users to be able to control their accounts and settings, just like being logged in at the box physically. I have Usermin setup to allow file upload/download, apache configuration, mysql administration, and protegresql administration though it. Tip: Make sure you run the setup.sh script after you install the Usermin port from /usr/ports/sysutils/usermin. The message makes you think that it needs to only be run to update to a new version, it doesn’t. :)

Well, one day until my KVM gets here. :D Don’t freak out on my if the site does not get updated every day during this week, I have at least two regular tests and final exams all this week and Monday and Tuesday of next week, then I’m off for two weeks. During that time, this site will get some work, and I’d like to get some work done on osdever.net and IllusionOS.

Updated!

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

Well as you can see, the site has been updated. There are over 15 Wordpress plugins installed(not all have been setup for this template yet) and a new theme. The admin control has a new theme now as well. I’ll be updating the content pages over a period of a week or so, if school allows this. :)

I’m also starting a new kernel today. It’s goals right now will be to give me a playground to mess with some ASM and interrupts without screwing up my other OS. I may even follow the #osdev fad and add smp support to it, and make it IllusionOS’s kernel. :thumbup_tb:
