A letter of thanks from the Jubilee Sailing Trust arrived this morning, it reminded me, I never posted how much money had been raised for both Talk Like A Pirate Day and the Sports Relief run I ran with Nick last year.

Jubilee Sailing Trust

Much thanks to those who bought the JST’s charity eye patches, I’d also like to thank Shrewsbury Sixth Form College and the friendly people at the Jolly Roger Card Craft shop, who were responsible for the distribution. Overall we raised £70 for the JST.

Sports Relief 2006, me and Nick ran, well I say ran, what I really mean is lightly jogged :) on the 15th of July. It took a while to collect all the sponsorship, but I paid in just over £80.



Changes to PWnet Host

Over the past few weeks I’ve been busy transferring websites from my old hosts server to my new providers server. The new server is known as Kilo. The move was influenced by recent downtime and lack of communication, the move will increase the response time of hosted websites and will ultimately provide a more reliable platform.

I’ve rediscovered Server Status 2k, I had purchased a licence years ago during its early releases, I hoped to provide an alternative to cPanel’s default server status page, however the script was incompatible with my previous hosts setup. I installed the latest version on Kilo and it worked without a hitch. Check it out, I’ve currently got it monitoring my new Kilo server and I’m using the scripts multi-server feature to display simple stats on the availability of my old hosts server, which is where PWnet Central is still located.
