A few minor updates to the UbuntuLinuxOnDV1066ea page. Thanks to an email, I've found out that the wireless LED indicator on the laptop can be made to work.   I'm looking forward to [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyGoals][Breezy]] when it's released in October

Moved the Google ads to the side. It saves me having to include the code on every page, and it's less intrusive (I hope). 

I've updated the [[UbuntuLinuxOnDV1066ea][Ubuntu Linux on an HP dv1066ea]] laptop page and moved it into the wiki. The old url is still valid as a redirect. It's actually the most popular page on the site, so it must have been worth doing.

I still get requests for the Vim syntax files for RPG that I and others worked on three years ago. So if you are interested in EditingWithVim you're in luck ;)

ClamAVoniSeries is a HOWTO on getting the [[http://www.clamav.net][Clam anti virus]] tool to work on the iSeries using PASE.

Added a few new pages, FeedBack and PrivacyPolicy, to encourage participation on this site.

Fun and games... I have changed domain registrars (now with [[http://www.godaddy.com][GoDaddy]]) but my domain expired during the transfer. Godaddy offer an extra year's renewal when transferring to them, but that didn't kick in until today. I'm still trying to get DNS sorted out - dbg400.net has been invisible for the past 24 hours :(

I've turned off the viewcvs cgi interface - access to the code for my utilities is now via the SourceCodeList page.

This TWiki, and not just the web server, is running on [[http://perl.apache.org/start/index.html][mod-perl]] now - oops. I was running [[http://httpd.apache.org/][Apache2]], but just couldn't get the config right to activate mod-perl2 with TWiki. For the time being, I've reverted to Apache 1.3 with original mod-perl. The site is noticably quicker, for every request - not just the few I saw originally.

The joys of hosting a website on a dynamic cable connection. My ISP dropped the connection and I've had to re-register my router with their system - and get given a new IP address. I've updated DNS for dbg400.net and the dyndns aliases, but it will take a while to filter through the system.

I've enabled [[http://perl.apache.org/start/index.html][mod-perl]] on this server to speed up the response of this TWiki. I think there are probly more things I can tweak, but for now there seems to be at least a 2x improvement. If you find any odd effects from the change, let me know.

At last! My ISP have increased the bandwidth on my broadband link. Although download speed has doubled to 3Mbit/s, upload has only gone up to 300Kbit/s (less than 20% jump). Still, it should mean that this site is a little quicker to download from.

Moved the old links page to LinksPage, updating/removing links at the same time. 

-- Main.MartinRowe - 12 May 2005
 
Removed URLs on this site that point to my dyndns.org alias of dbg400.homeip.net as I'd prefer search engines to refer to dbg400.net instead. As both domains resolve to the same physical box it seems a bit redundant to type in a longer URL.

-- Main.MartinRowe - 11 May 2005

Two more changes, fairly obvious ones if you've visited the site before. You'll see [[https://www.google.com/adsense/default?destination=%2Fadsense%2Fhome][Google Ads]] at the top of each page of the non-TWiki site. I'm not sure how they'll work out, but any income they generate will help keep my broadband funded. If they prove worthwhile I'll include them on this TWiki web too.

Also you'll see a new logo (at the top left of this page). I'm slowly going through the site updating the content and thought the old logo looked pretty poor when shrunk down to fit the TWiki template. The new logo looks (imho) and scales better. Enjoy :)

I've finally taken the plunge and taken over the hosting of [[http://dbg400.net][dbg400.net]]. I had no problems with the service I was getting from the hosting company, but renewal is due in a fortnight, and my bandwidth allowance would soon need topping up too. Given that I'm already paying for my broadband connection, and have the web server running, I thought I'd bring it all together. It's been 24 hours since changing DNS, so everyone should be getting my local server now.

The old [[http://www.dyndns.org][dyndns.org]] alias of dbg400.homeip.net will still work for the foreseeable future.

My local mirror [[http://dbg400.net][dbg400.net]] and cvs server  [[http://dbg400.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/][dbg400.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi]] have been moved off the old server (an old IBM desktop Pentium 100 with 80Mb RAM) to a slightly more spritely machine (Athlon 850 with 1Gb RAM). One of the main
reasons for the move was so I could implement a [[http://twiki.org][TWiki]] engine. I really like the idea of wikis, and
I've been very impressed with TWiki so far. At present there is just a shell, but I hope to move most/all my content over to it; it's 
easier for me to maintain, and opens it up to others who want to contribute. You can access the Twiki at  
[[http://dbg400.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/DBG400][dbg400.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/DBG400]]
