![[PowerBook Laptop]](/news/2008/PowerBook.jpg)
Somewhat unexpectedly, neil.fraser.name is now being hosted from my apartment. Its new host is a surplus PowerBook G4 running Debian. I've no idea how stable my officially non-static IP address is; I guess we'll find out.
The photo to the left is a computer self-portrait. I like recursion.
This website has been up continuously for thirteen years. In that time, it has accumulated a large number of dependancies. The result was a large number of broken apps when I switched servers. One by one I'm eliminating these unwanted dependancies. Perl's cgi-lib, SSL, anything in PHP, etc. Restored apps so far:
- Moo Database Browser.
- Image to HTML Converter.
- Self-modifying Hit Counter.
- Alternate content generator for Object Trees.
- Slashdot sidebar.
- Statistics.
- RSS.
- News editor (admin).
- Page editor (admin).
- File uploader (admin).
- MobWrite.
Unrelated: Yesterday at noon one of my coworkers exclaimed "I smell burnt toast." Nobody else understood why I burst out laughing. It's a Canadian thing.
