A wee outage?
Well, maybe – I’m intending upgrading too WordPress 2.0 tonight, to fix some bugs in the RSS feed. In theory, it should all go very well, but I thought I’d mention it. Just in case it all goes, you know, wierd.

De Leek!
I have a resource leak on one of our live servers. It’s not seriously serious, but it’s certainly seriously annoying. The box in question is running a dozen or so pretty busy services and has an uptime of a shade over 577 days. And something has it 270K into the swap. Not a big issue,
Spring Cleaning – in December
I’ve done something that I’ve needed to do for ages. There’s a lot of change going on in the World of Nelefa at the moment, and there’s really no need for random emails dating back to easynet.support in 1993, Realise and Cyberia in 1996, Dowcarter in 1998 and even Navyblue at the moment. My email
Ubuntu Linux

Seaham, New South Wales – House for Sale
Situated just 8 mins from Raymond Terrace and 17 mins to Maitland in the pretty village of Seaham, this tri level home on just over half an acre is fully fenced and offers rural living and the best of both worlds. Although basically a two bedroom home, there is room to expand to four bedrooms
Humourless doctors.
Had a bad day on Friday. I’d been feeling a bit unwell on Thursday morning and on and off during the day. It got bad enough to prompt me to make a doctors appointment on Friday morning. So, in I toddled. The doctor was making a flap about blood clots, lungs and “why didn’t you
