Here is a link to a how to on making a really big and cheep 4U storage server. I am hopping to make a similar system only I am planning on making a 1U solution obviously with less disk storage but as I don’t need quite that much and I pay for hosting per U 1U would be great. When I get round to it I ill post pics.

Here is my take on the single line word press upgrade I saw at hack a day.
The bellow will download the latest version and unpack it. IT then removes the new plugins and themes as to not over wright your installed ones. IT then copies the new install over the old one and resets the permissions on the files.
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip && unzip latest.zip && rm -rf ./wordpress/wp-content/ && cp -r ./wordpress/* ../

You may need to change the paths for your installation but this should work quite well.
As allways take a backup before you run this just in case.

The lost casts guys are back on the wire just before series 4 starts to air in the US. Cant wait to hear more from them. Also I just wanted to link this guy not that he isn’t popular enough or that linking him here will help. Johnny has done some really cool projects over the years more recently he has done alot with the Wii Mote that mos people will have seen all over the net. but I think that some of his other projects are of possibly greater note have a look.

I have also recently moved to another new server with more power and before it was really commissioned we purchased its replacement well this server will become a fail over node but that isn’t important. And we are now running ISPCP in anger. we have had to make several changes to the system to make it work the way we need and want it to but nothing to dramatic.  More info on ISPCP issues to follow.

Secondary DNS is a bit of an issue that is yet to be sorted fully in ispCP but if you want to do some hosting with it it is a requirement. So here is the documentation of the way we have implemented secondary DNS within ISPCP. (continue reading…)

I just had to post these links as I found them tonight and they are quite scary in the way they put info together to get an interesting picture of people. First up is http://centralops.net/ This site can give you some detailed info on domains well worth a try but not just whois it can also do a server scan. Then there is this http://serversniff.net/ way to much info from a server than is healthy. And finally there is this http://www.paterva.com/web/Maltego/ which puts it all together and joins up the dots and the gui when available is really sick.
