The Standard Model

Well hello there! Every year during the summer I get an itch to start up a website to entertain me on the long boring summer days before the game servers get busy in the late afternoon, and this year is no exception!
This time however I did not have a hosted web server already at my disposal, or any of my own web space on a domain that I would want to use any more. I did/do however have a dedicated linux server in the Netherlands that I bought in order to host game servers on, initially for Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. So I figured I would install Apache on it and use that! Of course after I do that with nothing going wrong I realise I have actually done it wrong and needed to set an option so I could install php as a module afterwards. Several super fun hours later I get both working properly and hey here it is! I hope everything works okay. There is a weird issue with my address bar not changing when I go to different files/pages but I can’t really find a way to stop that.. but it doesn’t really break anything it just means you have to take a second to make sure you are linking to whatever you want instead of the index of this blog.

Oh my I’m rambling, a little about me just to finish this initial post off. I’m an astrophysics student with 3 years out of 4 done of my Masters and if you couldn’t tell I love Futurama to bits. Over on the side there you can see my recent tweets, feel free to follow me and what-not. Under that there is a spiffy gadget that lets you spin some of my photos around from a picasa web album. See how many times you can get it to go round…
