Well it seems that what I have is never enough. I am expanding again. No, I didn’t eat too much Chocolate at Easter. I am adding more servers and services to my network and still one external IPv4 addresses is not enough. I am trying to sort out some services and web hosting. I have [...]

I thought I was taking a break from working on my servers for a while, but instead I have been working on a plugin, it is called “Pause and Ponder”.  This plugin allows me enter a Title and some Text and have it display as a widget.  I bet you are thinking that isn’t a [...]

Well I have got my act together and configured a mail server for my domain. I am not handing out addresses just yet. I do have a couple of minor things I want to learn about my mail service before I announce to everyone that they can send me emails. It is always easier to [...]

I am moving forward again… Yes! This weekend I attempted to setup a DNS and with some success I think, I have made it! In the previous weeks I have experienced some set backs as you may have read in a previous post. So after giving myself some time off and not focusing too heavily [...]

Well I haven’t made it all the way to the front page, but when you search “droolix” my address is on the first page of search results.  http://www.droolix.net/ For me this is a big step forward.  I have always wanted to turn up in a google search.

It is a long road in setting up a fully functional Web server with Domain name and DNS, static ip address and forwarders. I am yet to find a resource that helps you with all of the steps of the process. I am hoping that when I am finished setting up all the required elements [...]

Dustralia… I accidentally spelt Australia wrong while I was tagging my previous post. I just realised just how cool DUSTRALIA looks and how good it could be in describing a dusty place. Have you ever just come across a cool looking word and never known what to do with it? Add it as a comment.
