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 :
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
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.
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.
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.
