Peter’s Hospital Diary

Felicity arrived home yesterday after what was a busy week! I have to say that she looked tired when I picked her up at the station, but she was certainly on a high after the week! I dropped her off at home to let her sort herself out (bath etc) while I went out for […]

I fear I may have given a bad impression of my upgrade experiences! Actually the problems were mainly caused by the fact that I was upgrading by installing on top of an existing installation (something not recommended by the Fedora Project) but that was so that I preserved all the original settings for the web […]

It really is a soggy day here in Hampshire this morning, chucking it down with rain. I have been continuing the final stages of the computer update, with some new applications . Firstly apologies to all who tried to look at the blog last night – I had been adding a new music application to […]

The main server upgrade (phase1) has started – the blog is closed for comments at the moment and some facilities may not be available. OK – first bit done – improvements to cooling and the backup hard-drive installed – now starting to backup the system! Well, I got one working backup and the system has […]

It has to be said that the last ten days have not been the best in my life, and just to pile it on, I took my diving medical yesterday (booked before the latest flare up) and failed, partly because I am not as fit as I should be, but mainly because the swollen lymph […]

Back again, and thank you all for your kind words in the comments. I’m sorry that some didn’t appear immediately (those from John’s family) but the first post from a new source is always held for moderation as part of ‘SPAM’ prevention! But thank you – I think they have all been liberated now!. And […]

A bit of a short post today as I have had a busy couple of days. Those of you who have been visiting regularly will have noted that the server has been unavailable for a few lengthy periods while I have been doing software updates. I am delighted that most of the work is done, […]

Hmmm – there is more to being a blogmaster than meets the eye! I came to check the site this morning and found that it wasn’t working – so if you tried to look, you either received a cryptic message about not finding the mysql server, or my hastily put together maintenance page! Suffice to […]
