Happy Easter!

• 4th April 2004 at 00:05

Having said it's all work for the next few months, I thought I'd put up the easter decorations. Well, there's only one week to go until the annual chocolate festival. And for once, I didnt rip off anyone elses pictures for the site, I drew it all myself. Hope you're suitably impressed!

You may also notice the new wallpaper section, something I have been meaning to add for a considerable amount of time... I drew The Egg Collection last June...

Oooh! Look at the date! 04-04-04!

I have also found FILExt.com, a database of file extensions, which looks as if it will be one of those websites which is extremely handy very occasionally.

The other day, the tonbschl site went down (related to the notnet disk filling up, I believe). I didn't notice, and only found out when someone e-mailed me - now, obviously, this isn't the right way to be going about these things. About 5 years ago, I wrote an automated script for this purpose, which checked websites and e-mailed me when they changed. The best bit was that it would e-mail my sms address, and it would forward it to my phone. Unfortunately, the e-mail to sms gateway has long since disappeared (if anyone knows of one, do let me know - I'm about to resort to plugging a PAYG mobile into a linux server), and when notnet crashed and burnt they lost my cron jobs, so that script hasn't been running since October. So I dug it out, rewrote it, and set it up on a couple of servers for redundancy - after all, what is the point of having the script running on the same server as the site it is monitoring? Anyway, when I changed radiac.net, it noticed and sent me an email. Bless! At some point, when I have tidied it up some more, I will release it in my perl section.
