A feature that I found out about with my provider is the use of virtual-machine-sub-domains or whatever it’s really called. Basically, for every folder that I have on gravitystorm, I can use that as a machine name, so http://weblog.gravitystorm.co.uk will point to the weblog, which is actually at www.gravitystorm.co.uk/weblog/. Neat, huh?

The only problem being that it screws up all my links, since I used relative urls around the site out of lazyness. Since I’ve said everywhere that my dvds are at href=”/dvd/”, it ends up looking for weblog.gravitystorm.co.uk/dvd/, which is www.gravitystorm.co.uk/weblog/dvd/, which doesn’t exist.

If you went HUH? to the last paragraph, then fine. If you understood it, then you’ve been writing too many webpages.

I’ve not updated this log in a while, for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was created at a time when I had every evening free, with nothing better to do, and I’ve not been in that situation much recently.

I spent ten days at home in Scotland, and I try to avoid spending time on the web when I’m there (ably abbetted by a 33k modem). I then spent ten days heavily involved in the technical side of running a freshers week at my students union, which took up a very large proportion of my time. Finally, I spent a week or so going against my policy of only ranting about things on the web, and actually voiced my opinions in public. Which is a bad thing, but I’ll get on to that later – I have made a decision that will affect most of my ranting, hopefully for the better.

Anyway, I’ll not continue, since nobody reads this anyway.
