Good heavans. I'm doing an appalling job of living up to my origial promise of 2 posts a week. I guess in the world of vintage computing there isn't much in the way of news.
For one, I would like to belatedly congratulate Ron Wiesen for his recent win of the 27th Model 100 Programming Contest with his amazing program.
Secondly there's a rather major development that recently happened: I got my server up and running.
Currently, the server is a 500MHz Pentium III running Windows XP SP3, and can be found at retro-net.ath.cx, which brings me to the name: The Micro 100 Retro-Box Network, shortened/styallized simply as [..RETRONET..] . I have HTTP, FTP, IRC, and a Quake I dedicated server. It's pretty slow to load images, but I'll be upgrading it soon (hopefully), as well as adding a Synchronet telnet BBS (perhaps the failed Nytetyme project could live on), getting my domain set up (retro-box.net), and setting up an email server with username@retro-box.net.
The way that affects this blog is that it will be a little more varied, with some modern computers stuff as well as some older computer stuff, and links to my youtube videos at RetroNetVideos.

Bro why would you run Windows on a server :~P You should use some distro of Linux.
ReplyDeleteAlso you should check out Google Apps - 10 free eMail accounts in Gmail format per domain. Used to be 50, but they recently downgraded it to 10. 7 gigs of space, not bad.
I'm actually hoping to add a second server running Debian here this upcoming weekend, assuming I can fix this overheating issue it seems to be having. I use Google Apps for everything, and it works brilliantly.
