rjt.org

After fighting with various CMS for years and still using my own code, I finally found WordPress.  I’ll have to spend some time building stylesheets and whatnot but for now, this’ll do.

This server and all its hosted websites were migrated from Apache 2.0 to Apache 2.2. This work was done in preparation for hosting Rails applications via proxied Mongrel processes.

Dovecot has just replaced courier-imap on rjt.org. With much less code and simple configuration, Dovecot is my preferred IMAP/POP3 server on systems that I maintain. This software is so good, I expect it to take over the world.

I just installed Drupal so that I can easily maintain a site tracking my capstone project. So far I’m pretty impressed. I may end up moving all of rjt.org over to it.

A failing power supply necessitated a chassis swap. The system is temporarily living on a Dell PowerEdge SC420. With graduate school in full swing, there isn’t much time to give attention to hardware.

This website and all associated services are now being hosted on tungsten instead of cobalt. Cobalt still lives with us but this new server is located on a dedicated circuit elsewhere.

I’m just finishing up some maintenance for this server. I’ve completed an OS upgrade as well as removed a faulty DIMM that was wrecking software builds. I also updated all of the installed packages and migrated from Apache 1.3.29 to Apache 2.0.48.

Last night I installed a new firewall in front of rjt.org. It seems to work much better than the last one I was using. It also has a load balancing feature built in so I can attach a second circuit and get balancing and redundancy.

I’ve cleaned up all the documents I could find. Most of them should validate as XHTML now. I’ll check them when I have time.

Welcome to the redesigned rjt.org! So far it’s just the home page but I’m redoing everything in XHTML. Check the source. No tables!
