Electricmonk.nl (zoltar) downtime
The Zoltar machine (hosting electricmonk.nl and a host of other domains and stuff) has been down for about two weeks. Everything appears to work again now. The CPU fan was dead and then I made a stupid mistake with the network configuration so Zoltar couldn’t be reached when he was racked back in. That in […]
WordPress
I just finished writing an article for my blog. It took me most of the evening. Researching, writing, proof-reading, rewriting, linking to articles, etc. I click save, and only one-third of the article shows up in WordPress. The rest? Gone. Hours of my hard work? Gone. Careful proof-reading, rewriting, analysis, unbiasing, rereading? Gone. THANK YOU […]
New site
Well, the big day is finally here. I revamped my homepage.
Blog back online
Well, the blog is back online. And it only took me a year and 5 months! I’m now running under WordPress. I’d be using MvBlog, but it’s not as mature as I need yet. WordPress offers lots of plugins such as Wiki-style editing and syntax color highlighting; two things I absolutely need. Converting all my […]
Electricmonk.nl downtimes
Nobody’ll probably get a chance to read this because not before long my connection will undoubtedly be dead again, but for the moment things seem to working again. I hope, I pray, I beg for my connection to actually keep working, but I’m not holding my breath. Anyway, everything will soon be moved over to […]
Homepage updates
You’ll probably not notice it, but I updated my homepage. Every page now has an index (except the Home page) and I rewrote some parts of the most import page on this site. The Links page is gone; it was outdated and I was lazy.
Electricmonk.nl stopt met hosting email en websites (Dutch)
Ik heb vervelend nieuws voor jullie (en voor mezelf ook eigenlijk). Het is namelijk niet meer mogelijk voor mij om mijn eigen server te hosten. Voor mensen waar ik dingen voor host heeft dat de volgende gevolgen: Alle e-mail adressen gaan weg. Als je dus een e-mail adres @electricmonk.nl hebt die je via de website […]
MySQL SQL syntax Quick Reference added
I added a self-made MySQL SQL syntax Quick Reference to the articles section. It has information, taken from the online MySQL reference manual, on Data definition (CREATE and ALTER TABLE) and Data manipulation (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT) syntaxis. For now the HTML version is pretty crappy. This is because OpenOffice’s HTML export isn’t showing background […]
Server upgrade & notices
Mail and websites are working correctly again. Some people that have a mail account on this machine might notice that spam/virusses are being sent to their accounts. These claim to come fron e-mail addresses like info@electricmonk.nl and support@electricmonk.nl. This is, of course, not true. Please ignore/delete any mail claiming to be from the maintainers of […]
Server upgrade
This server is currently being upgraded to the newest version of Debian GNU/Linux. Since this server isn’t overly important and I’m lazy, I haven’t take the time to create a staging environment to prepare the roll-out of the upgrade. Therefor, certain services may not be available until I get around to modifying the configuration. Most […]
