Website changes
[17-Mar-2010] Finally turned off the php register globals. There may be a lot of pages that dont work. Fixed the display images script, the new log script (without geocaches) so far. Looking for others.

Script Update
[08-Mar-2010] Updated the log entry script to do geocaches correctly again. Have to manually enter coords but at least it converts and puts it in the database right which it hasnt down for years now.

Blackberry
[10-Feb-2010] Replaced the basic phone with a blackberry today. I cant stand being without email, gps, internet and everything else. Since it has a data plan pictures are forthcoming for older posts.

Monday ,Tuesday, Wednesday
[20-Jan-2010] Spent most of Monday finishing the install of Justins PC. Tuesday got a new dryer belt and replaced it (it broke Sunday but Marcone wasnt open Monday) trimmed the apple trees. Today I finished hauling the apple branches out to the street and started pruning the grapes. The ipod is dead again, its stuck in a restore loop, I finally want to use it in the yard and now cant.

Electrical and Technical
[17-Jan-2010] Found the bad connection and fixed the electrical sockets in the library and the light in the hallway. Installed the new weather PC (osse laptop will be rebuilt and renamed). Moved the software and monitoring over to it. The KTLH stuff doesnt work yet but its not really important.

Day 1 and 2

[13-Jan-2010] Day 1 Finished rebuilding the 50 gallon drum composter with 4x4 posts and a fence pole. Installed the proper radiant shield for the thermometer. Setup Internet camera (service will be intermittent till I get the power fixed in the library). Day 2 Watched Pine trees being removed. Tilled remaining vegetable beds. Planted peas. Set out onions. Moved about half the remaining gravel. Cooked Brisket.

Weather monitoring still not up

[11-Jan-2010] Instead of replacing the hard drive I decided to replace the whole machine. The laptop i was running the monitoring on is over 7 years old, has power issues (like it wont change unless shut off) and the fans are starting to make noise. Replacing it with a fanless small computer that should be here this week. If that goes well I may replace ulmo and lorien with the same setup to reduce the noise in the living room. Ordered a proper enclosure for the outdoor thermometer.

Weather monitoring down
[06-Jan-2010] The harddrive in Osse died. All the weather monitoring is down and will have to be rebuilt as soon as I get a new harddrive for it.

RSS Feed
[13-Oct-2009] Instituted an rss feed of the site for Melissa. see http://teuse.net/rss

Server functional again
[19-Aug-2009] The power supply in the server has been replaced with a new one.

Server relocation

[14-Aug-2009] The relocation went badly. The power supply decided to die somewhere in transit so the server wouldnt come back up. Had to yank one out of a PC, which of course didnt fit because the server motherboard is so old. So had to do it from an older PC to get it up and running. Its all stacked on top the server with the case open. Ordered a power supply that fits in the case, it might be here monday but more likly tuesday.

Relocating Server
[14-Aug-2009] Its moving buildings. 14:22:36 up 140 days, 1:51, 1 user, load average: 0.05, 0.05, 0.02

Weather station back up
[27-Mar-2009] The weather station logging is backup. The hard drive didnt fail after all.Change the main page to a much prettier Current Conditions. Still have some issues with the graphs, mainly the rain one. MRTG doesnt do number < 1 or decimals and RRD is segfaulting so the rain graph is all messed up.

Weather reporting down
[27-Mar-2009] We finally had a change in the weather and the hard drive on Osse which is the computer attached to the weather monitor seems to have died this morning. I didnt have time to look into it but the data isnt changing and I cant contact the box.

Downtime
[24-Mar-2009] The weather reporting keeps going offline. The piece on manwe dies and doenst want to restart. Had to reboot the server yesterday to fix it. Off course then found out mysql didnt start automatically, nor the ups software. Fixed both. This is what happens when you never actually have to reboot. The uptime was 118 days.

Half a good weekend

[02-Mar-2009] Had a todo list for this weekend but only got to work Saturday. Sunday's weather was horrible, freezing cold with a constant strong wind so nothing for done. Saturday did move all the strawberries to the strawberry bed, built and planted the potato tires, built an herb bed against the house and moved most the herbs to it. I did start digging to upgrade the irrigation, enough to find a leak underground at the corner of the vegetable beds. Started beans indoors. Fixed the garden plot pages so i can plan, and change a cell more than once a day. The carrots finally sprouted a week late, just as I was about to plant over them. Im not happy with the Broccoli or lettuce this year but its got at least two weeks to fix itself before it gets replaced with summer crops, probably longer. I am beginning to wonder where my tomato seeds are. There were ordered on the 19th and should be here. The weather station didnt arrive either but tracking say it should be here today. Once it is up I will be able to put weather data from the house online. It went to freezing last night, left 2 datils, 2 cilantro and 2 marigolds in the cold frame as an experiment. They appear to have survived but the temp inside fell to the same as outside so im not confidant for tonights predicted 25. I may cover the whole frame with pine straw. The African Blue basil did survive under straw and an upside down cup so hopefully it will make it tonight too. Tonight the Tangerine dies (maybe).

Plants Database

[13-Feb-2009] Over the last week I have signifigantly updated the plants database and forms to go with them. Now instead of having to update the plant maps manually its just a point and click to change whats planted in a cell and when it was planted. The maps from now on will be real time, and at some point ill add a historical pick the date feature to the pages and get rid of the year by year menus.

England Day 1-3

[28-Dec-2008] Darkness is a real problem here. Its starts at 4pm. Cant see much in a day. Went to Bury St. Edmunds the first day, saw the ruins of the Abbey. Day 2 was mostly driving to Newcastle with a stop at Durham Cathederal. Burial site of St. Cuthbert and the Venerable Bede. Several views from the tower and 2 Harry Potter related photos (a false wall and a courtyard used in the film). Day 3 was Hadrians wall, Housesteads Fort on the wall, a geocache nearby, and Vindolanda a fort further back with civilian buildings nearby. Caches GCXWB8 Housesteads

Upgrade to FC9
[25-Nov-2008] Upgraded manwe today to FC9 from FC5. Had a minor glitch w spamassassin (it wasnt set to start) but so far thats the only problem, im sure there are many more however. Oh and did all this the day FC10 came out so i need to do it again.
