Everything seemed to have gone well.

I want to thank Stanley again for the trouble, and probably any sorts of other things he had to do for this move.

Though, still need to wait for Curt to update the DNS for mpserver02.flightgear.org and mpmap02.flightgear.org, as he’s always very very busy. So if you need to use the FlightGear server on my box, you could just use pigeond.net 5000/5002, and this url for the FGMap.

Hopefully it won’t be down for too long during the move.

And for our fellow FlightGear pilots, that would mean mpserver02.flightgear.org and mpmap02.flightgear.org would not work for a little bit when we’re moving.

It’s the same old case and psu, but we got a new cpu, m/b, ram and hdd. This should fix our freezing-randomly problem we were having in the last couple of weeks.

Once again, thanks Stanley for helping out with some of the mail issues, and also a big thank you to nnnn for doing all the buying, setting up, travelling to and from the datacenter, etc, all sorts of things…

The server was down for about a month due to its network card (again!?). It caused the driver module to report an error, which led to a kernel panic. We weren’t able to find this out until we brought the box back and did a thorough check. Now the network card is replaced with a newly bought one. Let’s see how long this will stay on…

Oh… thanks nnnn for all the hard work for pigeond.net server too.

As for me, I went to HK and TW for about 2 weeks in total. Did a lot of shopping in HK with my gf, and had a lot of fun in TW too. Bought a p4 + m/b + etc in HK to replace my dying p3 box at home.

And oh, I bought a tv tuner card too, so now I can have more fun with my computer, including playing with all the cool tv apps on linux, and also writing tv applications. My gf won a ps2 at her company’s dinner lucky draw, and so she gave me her ps one (the small one), so now I can make a good use of my tv card.

This box might not be contactable for a few days or so during the week or weekend.

Recently we had network problems to some overseas network. Also we’ve replaced the network card. Hopefully pigeond.net will be up and running, forever again. (Right.)

Thanks Franklin and Stanley for helping with this move, and also thanks Kevin for all the troubles we had before with the old network.

I am going to reorganize the directory structure a bit. And I’ll probably put some photos of my taiwan trip up too.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Not sure if the problem is fully solved yet either. If it isn’t, we will simply replace the network card later.

For those who want to know, the problem we’re having is described here and here.

Nothing much I can do apart from starting from scratch again. Thanks Franklin for doing that and Kevin for the troubles again.

Will catch up later…

I hope this can be fixed pretty soon… :\

Apparently my Timex Datalink watch sound scheme has gone into the trash bin of Geocities.

However, with archive.org, I’m able to find it back. Let’s see what foolish stuffs I’ve done before at this Pigeon’s Timex Datalink Sound Scheme Page. :)

Or if you’re in the mood, have a look at the under-construction-version of pigeond.net.

And so I grabbed AWStats. It’s nice. It’s opensource =)

You can see the stat page here. Oh btw, gurkan has made a man page for bfm too. I will put it into the bfm package later.

Also, interesting, I got quite a lot of hits from Japan, too. And the bfm gkrellm plugin is actually mentioned in Zoe’s page. Zoe san doumo arigatou… ^^

But anyway, lots of thanks to Franklin, Calorie, Ball and Wim. Also thanks to Stanley for hosting my site before.

But still it has a lot to be added. If you see sections that are not links, that means they are still under construction…

Anyway, enjoy… the new pigeond.net, on this special day… :P

Anyway, at last, I managed to spend some time on this site, with a real framework I wrote. Basically most of the codes are taken from maggiefu.net, which is another site I wrote entirely from scratch.
