This Blog

I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

  • I think it might be working!

    I’ve been having a few problems with the ol’ blog system recently. Basically, it was archiving things in a funny order. I’ve changed the code slightly and it seems to be working now (as soon as I say that I know it’ll break, but still – you’ve got to try). Ah well… whether this thing…

  • Finally – I got it to update!

    I finally managed to update Fedora Core 4 last night. I’ve been having problems since I upgraded from version 3. For some reason, up2date doesn’t want to work… looking at the files, I think it’s still got a couple of the repositories from version 3 there. So, when it wants to update, it can’t, because…

  • The Weekend

    Well, I haven’t put up a ‘The Weekend’ post in a while, so I thought I’d do one! On Friday evening, Philippa and I went to the Rose and Crown in Wivenhoe, as it was the Fresher’s Week “Walk to Wiv” event. We didn’t actually walk from campus, but we did meet up with people…

  • Something is not right…

    Well, something is not right. I’ve added a couple of blog entries recently, and nothing has happened. Upon further investigation, it turns out they’ve been archived but haven’t appeared on the main page. Grrr. I feel like re-writing this blog system now, might make it a bit easier to manage… ah well. C’est la vie…

  • Plea for Spelling

    Ok, I don’t usually mention this, but I’ve recently noticed a lot of people are mis-spelling the word “ridiculous”, instead choosing to spell it “rediculous”. Now, I know that the English language is fairly organic, but the dictionary.com hasn’t got around to including the new definition yet, and they usually include synonyms like that, so…

  • Met Office simplifying weather forecasts

    Hmmm. I’m not sure about this one. Apparently the Met Office are going to Simplify Weather Forecasts. I think I’ll just let the last paragraph from the article sum it up: …we have to wonder how much spin can possibly be put on the weather, or how useful it might be. For one thing, a…

  • Hmmm, J2EE…

    Interesting. One of the things that I learnt about last week was ADF (Application Development Framework) and Struts. Well, I say that – basically all I learnt was that what we were being taught on the course was being phased out and replaced by ADF, and we should go on the next course… anyway. I…

  • Working again… I hope!

    Well, it seems the archive ordering is working again. I really don’t understand PHP sometimes, it seems to read things in a rather arbitrary way. I swear it does it just to make life difficult for me! Still. Not much to say really. Went back to work today. Was quite a good day. Haven’t done…

  • Hmmm… archives in a funny order

    Well, apparently the archives are in a funny order. I think this is because my FTP program (gFTP) creates them in a strange order. So, back to the ol’ drawing board for sorting lists of directories…

  • Back up and running!

    Well, I think I’m back up and running after losing the old mooseofming.co.uk domain. How’s that for a quick turnaround? I wish I’d remembered to back up the old one though! Ah well. Only thing is, I’ve lost about two thirds of September’s blog posts. Not really a great loss to mankind, it has to…
