This whole site is kept up-to-date with one script. That's right, just the one. If you want to find out how, I suggest you go immediately to the Scripts page.
February 2004 Archives
At the bottom of the page you should see a notice detailing how much space I'm using on my hosting server. It's automatically generated each time the site gets updated, don't-cha-know. See Linux -> Scripts to achieve enlightenment.
In a parallel, but not unrelated development (see 19/02/2004), I'm playing at Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh on Thursday (26th). Be there or be, umm, somewhere else entirely. Your call.
ILikeJam continues its bid for world domination. See Audio for further megalomania.
I'm on Digitally Imported's Deep House channel tomorrow at 5pm. Be there.
BIG ASS, news! (Well, maybe not depending on how you look at it....). If you've seen the Audio section recently, you'll know that I've had a mix accepted for airing on Digitally Imported. It's short notice, but the premiere is TOMORROW. To hear it, go to www.di.fm/deephouse at 5pm GMT. Do it. You won't regret it.
The good people at Digitally Imported have had a listen to my 'Foundations' mix, and are going to put it out on their deep house channel. Yay for me!
I'll let you all know more when I know more.

Got some screenshots for your consideration. Deciding exactly which of the links on the left leads to them is left as an exercise for the reader.
Unborked.
It has been a heroic struggle, but the Linux box is back up. We now have a bleeding edge Fedora install - Kernel 2.4.24 (OK, so I've not got round to 2.6 yet), KDE 3.2, Gnome 2.4 all running on an Athlon 2500+ (which, incidentally, refuses to overclock, but that's a tale for another day).

Borked.
The details are hazy - I was very tired at the time - but I believe it involved taking a screenshot of my spanking new KDE 3.2 installation, with 'rm -rf /*' typed in at an xterm, you know, just for a laugh. Believe me when I say at no point did I hit Enter, but when I closed the terminal, the drives started churning. A moment of confusion was followed quickly by a moment of realisation, which in turn was followed by a moment of violent lunging for the Big Red Switch.
Fingers crossed, said switch was returned to its 'go' position. 'Go' it did not.
This isn't usually a problem but, unbeknown to me, the last backup DVD I burned turned out to be a coaster. The MD5s were fine just after it was burned, but lo, unrecoverable errors while untaring.
Of course that wasn't the end of it - I had the KDE 3.2 RPMs saved and after re-installing RedHat 9, I went about replacing KDE. Shouldn't have bothered. The dependencies list was longer than my arm. After close to 2 hours on rpmseek all was resolved. Until I installed Evolution.
Evolution proceeded to replace my kerberos libs with an earlier version, which was fine for Evolution, but not for any other app, to the point where I had to switch between the two kerberos versions just to read my e-mail.
Ah, well. I'm downloading Fedora Core 1 now. Over a 512k ADSL line. I'll be here for about 9 hours (Downloader for X got mangled up somewhere along the way, and won't compile any more, so I'm downloading 1.8 Gig of stuff with Mozilla Firebird. Hope this server supports resumes).

Oh dear. The end of an era. goatse is no more.
For those at the back who've obviously not been listening, goatse was an Internet institution. Its mission was simple - to bring a highly offensive picture to unsuspecting World Wide Wibblers.
Ever wondered why slashdot puts the domain in clear text next to links? That's right: goatse. I'm considering starting a mirror, just to keep the tradition alive. Doubt my ISP would agree that it's the sort of thing that it should be hosting....
Want to see what I'm talking about (with some text added by someone)? Go here, but please don't bother if you're even slightly easily offended. Seriously. Don't. Ever.
Want to see it back on the webernet, in all its rank glory? Go here.
