Website Restored

   

Steve's Blog - Technology & My LifeI let my hosting account expire some time around Christmas or the New Year, but I've now restored an October 2005 backup to my new web host (Dreamhost). A few articles will have been lost, including the "winter wonderland" pictures of Keele in the snow. As I don't have any plans to actively blog or publish new content I'll stick with Geeklog for now, but I am tempted to install a personal wiki. I feel much more comfortable editing in Mediawiki code than HTML these days.

There are a few issues still to resolve from the upgrade to the latest version of Geeklog: missing theme files which cause some pages to not display (I nail these as I find them); missing plugins such as chatterblock (for emoticons); and missing images. Also, my WinAmp playlist display doesn't seem to be working properly. I'll fix or disable it.

I've been busy at Wikipedia as User:Kingboyk, and have contributed substantially to 4 "Featured Articles": The KLF, ***K the Millennium (The KLF's 1997 comeback), All You Need Is Love (The KLF's debut single as The Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu aka The JAMs), and 1987 (The JAMs' debut album). I'm currently helping out with Paul McCartney to try and get that article Featured too.

I'm also planning to revive a web development project from last year, republishing wiki content in a large information repository site. This will necessitate refamiliarising myself with PHP, MYSQL, Apache, and the internals of Mediawiki.
