Small downtime Comment
My host, WebXtra, had a small downtime lasting from just before 12.00 Dutch time today to around 17.30.
It seems to be caused by a DDoS attack on their network in the city of Nijmegen attacking some specific servers within the network. The problem was solved by blocking the attacked IP addresses.
Blog refreshment 2 Comments
I recently moved this blog to a subdomain and placed a boring static HTML page at the top-level domain to make space for other website parts. However, the other parts never came and I wasn’t really happy with the new situation. Now I’m back at qense.nl and thanks to Stefano I figured out how to [...]
New theme, archive overview, shoutbox and more Comment
I’I wasn’t very happy with the previous theme. Although it was a very nice looking one, I prefer a calmer theme that allows you to place more widgets in the sidebar.
Today I finally made some time free to have a look at the blog and decided to switch to the Mini theme. I really like [...]
Wordpress Stats/discussion on Ultimatix 2 Comments
Just before I switched to the current theme, a beautiful piece of work called deMar by webdemar, I installed the WordPress Stats plugin. This plugin sends the traffic data to your Wordpress.com account(yes, just like Askimet it requires an API key) where the statistics are calculated.
Although I didn’t find Google Analytics bad, it’s just easier [...]
Blog changes Comment
I’ve made several changes to my blog. I’ve ’socialized’ it a bit with adding the Last.FM widget and revived my Twitter account(I’m going to use a client to twit, Twitux or gTwitter.).
Another change was the tagging. I requested to change the feed at Planet Ubuntu Users to ‘ubuntuweblogs’, because not all my posts are in [...]
Verwijderd van Planet Ubuntu NL Comment
De feed van mijn blog is verwijderd van de planet van Ubuntu NL. Dit komt omdat alle berichten steeds weer opnieuw zouden worden geplaatst. Ik ben nu aan het kijken of dit probleem door de feed wordt veroorzaakt of het misschien een probleem is in de planet software.
We zullen zien.
Delegate OpenID Comment
A downside of OpenID is that you can’t choose the site to link to. Most of the time the site is actually your login URL. This can be solves with so called delegating. It means that you paste some code in the header section of the page you want to link to when using your [...]
Open-ID 2 Comments
Since I’ve enabled registration I’ve got a lot of users that registrated at my blog. Most of them never react and I’ve got the feeling that they’re bots. And in the light of the recent update of Launchpad’s Edge version which turns LP in an OpenID provider I decided to use OpenID to login. People [...]
Tweeter tools gone Comment
I’ve removed Tweeter Tools from the sidebar and removed all its posts. I thought it wasn’t neccessary at all, you probably don’t want to know exactly what I’m doing all the day. Also the blog posts looked ugly.
And I’ve upgraded WordPress to 2.5, which included an improved admin panel. Now I’d like to change the [...]
Bandwith Comment
I just discovered that I’ve used 3,32GB of the 2GB I’m allowed to use as bandwidth. This means I’m using 169%. I’ve removed the files subdomain and disabled Syrtis HQ until I’ve discovered what I can do about this.
But I’m moving to a new host anyway when the current term of this host has ended. [...]
