There's been some issues with the web server lately. It was relocated and in the process suffered a disk problem. So it's all been re-installed and gradually Lance is getting everything working again. Meanwhile I have yet to sort out secure FTP from Linux, so can only update from Windows. I need to do some more reading on SafeTP. I also ought to have another go at getting the web form for blog entries working.

I have just added Sweden to the list of visited countries in my foaf file. Maybe one day I'll make it to some of the other continents I haven't been to yet.

I recently made my first contribution to the wonderful Wikipedia. I spotted a mistake in the Keysigning entry. Since then I've set up a proper account on there so that further changes will be credited to me. I have my own entry there now. Yet another steevc page on the web. Googling that name returns lots of results for me on the first page.

I'm still awaiting my first guestbook entry. The PFGM one has had one comment, plus a couple of spams. It's always nice to get some feedback on what I do. On the other hand I know this site is just a vanity project. Nobody is going to come here for the latest news. My Multiply page is doing slightly better. I'm growing a community of acquaintances there.

Last night I went along to the Herts LUG again. Not so many there this time. Actually there were far more computers than people as someone had brought along several very old PCs to see what could be done with them. We actually managed to get enough bits to almost build a Smoothwall firewall. It was only a P200 with 32MB, but it seems that is enough. The biggest problem was finding a CD drive that would read a CDR. I'm not sure I need a dedicated PC as a firewall. I have a router that can do what I need and it's cheaper to have that on all the time than a PC. It's also silent. It just means I always have lots of flashing lights in the study with that and the cable modem.
