Moving shop

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

So it would seem that Shindo and I are the only ones who have noticed that floydwing.com is back.  The move was successful, if slightly delayed because of my oversight.  Stupid me didn’t realize that I needed to adjust the DNS servers for the site.  I assumed that having the site moved from one host to another would have that stuff updated.  Luckily, my new host has been very patient with and also a ton of help.  Thanks Dave!

Having root access is pretty cool and makes it a whole lot easier than using file managers.  Best of all, I can SSH in from the command line of my new work laptop.

I now have source control on more than just my local machine.  I’ve uploaded one of the projects I’ve been toying around with.  At some point I need to upload Pit.  Unfortunately my early attempts to convert my Visual Studio C++ project into a usable Eclipse CDT or Mono project hasn’t found must success.  I’ve been out of the C++ loop for a years, so I’m having a heck of time figuring out why these things are throwing strange errors.  Somewhere along the way, either in a past VS upgrade or my own insanity, I ended up with includes that weren’t the same case as the actual files (VS must have allowed that) and a very inconsistent file naming convention.  I’m a bit clueless how this came to be.  I know my coding was somewhat abysmal back then (maybe now?) but some of these things I just couldn’t see me doing.  VS seems to have been a bit too lax in what it allowed or how it upgraded.

So unless I can figure it out, I may be installing VS into my Win7 virtual machine.  YUCK!

Or, it means that I’ve successfully migrated this blog and website away from tyranny.  I now have shell access along with a whole bunch of other cool things.  What does this mean for you?  Probably not much.  You probably won’t notice much of a difference.  I’ll continue to deliver you the same boredom you’ve come to expect.  See you in a few days.

Hosting move

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I’m in the process of moving floydwing.com to a different hosting service.  I’ll give a heads up a few days before the DNS stuff happens.  In the meantime, if there’s anything you want saved on the forum, please copy it off.  I don’t know whether I’ll go to the trouble of salvaging the existing content and even if I’ll have a forum at the new site, at least first on.

Keep an eye on the blog for future updates.

Comments fixed

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

It came to my attention that comments were requiring a login, so effectively no one but me could comment.  That’s been fixed now.  Sorry if anyone had important things to say but were unable to.
