Upgraded Uys Genealogy Website

Author: admin  |  Category: News

Since I am in the upgrade mood I also upgraded my Uys Family Genealong web. So all the family members that read the blog - let me know if you are interested in member access so that you can update your family details.

It’s a slow, but interesting task and I really only spend a few moments on it here and there. So if you see any mistakes, please let me know - or even better, lets get you a account and you can help build.

There is a link to the site under the Genealogy tab at the top of the blog and here is the same again :

Blog Update

Author: admin  |  Category: News

Still a few issues with the RSS Feed and I have not had time to redo the older photos yet. I have also seen some inconsistent results with IE 7 and the new IE 8 Beta. Work in progress :-)

We’ll get there.

New Server

Author: admin  |  Category: News

Slowly getting there. For the techo’s. I am now running the blog on :

XenServer 4.1 Express with Windows Server 2008 as a guest OS. I have installed on that MySQL 5.x with PHP 5 nicely running with the native FastCGI support in IIS 7.

I dumped NextGen wordpress photo plug-in for a new PhotoXhibit that allows you to link the blog with Flikr, Picasa or any of the other major Image warehouses out there.

Nelson Bay Long Weekend

Author: admin  |  Category: News

As usual, we did the long weekend pilgrimage to Nelson bay to the north. It involved some sand driving (as usual) , a trip to the hunter valley for some wine tasting, great food and good company.

We finished the weekend off with a awesome dolphin and whale watching trip - Please have a look at the photos.

       

4×4 Sand Driving Course

Author: admin  |  Category: Uncategorized

As you might have noticed the web \ email is still in a bit of a state. I am busy virtualising all my servers onto much smaller hardware.  So things are a bit messy and I have been slipping on the updates to the blog.

A few of the boys went on a 4×4 Sand Driving course the other day just north on Newcastle to have a go with the new Prado’s on the beach. Was a fun day - learn’t a lot about the area and a few new tricks on the sand.

Here are a few photo’s
