Homecoming

views

I’m back today from vacation, and it’s been a quiet and regenerating pause, even if it’s never too much! I hope to have some other day off in August, but we’ll see. At current time I’m again available for quick operations in case of issues.

There’s been no technical issue on servers nor line downtime during these two weeks, and everything has worked smoothly. I’ve planned to enable some new service soon, but I’m not disclosing anything, because I could be too lazy to achieve it!

Vacation!!

views

Woot! Starting today, I’m on vacation!

I hope there won’t be any service interruption, since I am at seaside for a couple of weeks and I won’t be able to quickly solve occurring system locks. I will keep on monitoring servers, services and sites from remote access.

I also wish myself happy birthday!!

New ADSL router

views

Starting from this evening LoneStar Network’s services are no longer provided by the old and glourous Zyxel 642R router, on continuous service for no less than 6 years.

I’ve just installed a new router, an Atlantis Land I-Fly Wireless Router. It’s a commodity device, but still much more advanced than the old Zyxel, espeacially because it supports ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards, required for new 7 or 20Mb/s lines.

At current time my line is still a 1280/256Mb/s link, but it might be updated shortly, therefore with this router we’re ready to go!

Network issues

This week I’ve been out of town for work (you’ll soon see new pics in my gallery) and just on these days my Adsl router decided to hang 🙁

The interruption lasted a couple of days until someone has been able to reset it and restore access to websites and mail service.

I am sorry for the inconvenience!

New video galleries

views

I’ve started the Video Galleries section, a special Xoops module which allows to create videoclip galleries taken from YouTube, Google Video, etc. and classify them in categories adding comments, rating, charts and other nice features.

For registered users it’s also possible to send links to videos of their choice to add them to the collection.

I hope you like it!
