Rip It Up And Start Again

I’ve just finished putting the changes I’ve been making to this site live. The front page is now an integration of my latest blog post, a random image from my gallery and a short bio of myself.
Getting the latest post was explained well by this post and boils down to including the WordPress header file [...]

httpd Log Analysis

What a fun day yesterday was. I thought it would be interesting to know how many (if any) vistors I am getting to this site and proceeded to install and configure some tools to analyse Apache’s access logs.
Through prior research I knew of the existance of Webalizer so I downloaded the source and attempted to [...]

Here Lies Belfast

Out With The Old, In With The New

Candy And A Currant Bun

Now if I could only get my mail server working properly…

And So The Legend Grows

Just put the development site live, fingers crossed!
