My time with Goscomb Technologies as my ISP is coming to an end. It’s partially their fault, but mainly BT OpenReach.
I’m FTTC connected and I get 14mbs down 0.2mbs up …. on a good day. When I took this service up 3 years ago it was sufficient …. but now it’s now. So what’s changed? Well, my site is getting more traffic (yay!) and I have more devices network connected.
So nice to have his naming day just after his Birthday :)
Abbey made the a lovely teddy bear cake with his name in building blocks … seriously more tasty than any shop bought cake.
Loads of family and friends from both sides of the family made it a wonderful ceremony ….. and social afternoon party.
Well, the kids certainly had a party with a bouncy castle indoors!
Thanks for coming everyone!
My, how time has long. It doesn’t seem too long ago since he arrived! He fell in love with his new panda right away, was unsure about the arrival of the Birthday cake but sure loved eating it ….. and the bath afterwards :)
Happy Birthday Son!
So, I’ve not blogged for a long long long time. The last time was over 2 years ago. There are various reasons for this, involving Tech, Code and Life.
Tech My old blog was powered by Serendipity. Before that, it was Trac and before that it was Drupal
Now, Drupal was very …… well, blocky. It worked, and worked well to start. But my poor server at the time could not cope with the resource demands it had, alongside my existing Trac instances to host my project’s wiki and ticketing systems.
So I’ve been maintaining dhcpcd for a long time now. I feel that it’s in very good shape and very resiliant to network changes and hickups. I’ve also finished FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD support a while ago and it prompted a few OpenBSD people to take a look at it. One of them was Tobias Stoeckmann and he’s been submitting a lot of patches to fix simple things that I should have checked, but sadly didn’t.
