A special post, nothing to do with health, but just to note that the blog is now up and running on www.boraston.net/blog – and to say a big ‘Thank You’ to Mark J for setting up the original blog back in January – it seems a long time ago!
For those that are interested in a bit of “Geek Speak” the underlying server is an AMD powered PC, running Red Hat Linux version 9. The Web Server is Apache 2, using PHP version 4.2.2. The blog software is WordPress 2.01, and the database that stores the posts is MySQL version 4.1.18. It was the MySQL database that caused the problems importing the old blog and it needed an upgrade to accomplish that. The limiting factor on speed is the ADSL uplink, which is 256Kb/s.
There is still a bit of tweaking to do behind the scenes, both to the database and to the Apache webserver, but those should be transparent to anyone viewing the blog – but it will keep me occupied during the day!
While I am posting, I can also say that work on the planned conservatory is continuing today – the completion date (apart from the flooring which can’t be done until everything has dried out) is 14th April – just in time for late Spring and the Summer!
