Me Blog!

I think I have finally had enough of the festive cheer. Combined with the fact I still have almost three weeks holidays left I think I have gone a bit mad. I was clearing out my computer room and came across an old PC that served me well in the past. It was a faithful machine who’s day had ended with a failed hard disk.

As it happens, while tidying up I found an old spare disk and I decided to give it a new lease of life. Again as it happens I needed another machine for a while for a particular task that this machine would be quite suited to. So now it is alive once more and is happily pushing packets across the internet.

I was quite pleased with the results so much so that I decided that it could run it’s very own web server.  There is just a single html page with it’s story about how an open source operating system (FreeBSD in this case) gave it a new lease of life.

Have a look over here.

Things must be bad when my imagination starts assigning personalities to computers!

The keen eyed among you may have noticed from the phpsysinfo page that it is on a different network to my other web servers. This is a clue as to it’s purpose but unfortunately I can’t divulge it’s purpose here yet!
