Testing some more code

on Thursday, February 4, 2010 12:35:14 PM by: Kanonfodda

figured I may as well do a blog post at the same time ;)

anyway, Rodney has arrived and is in the process of being commissioned. these means that some of the load can be moved off of Dave for the next LAN, making life a bit easier (hopefully) :D

I've completed several code upgrades on the site, including some new profile management code and a few tweaks to code used mainly at the LANs (Shoutbox and LAN Hub pages mainly).

Well, things are looking up

It seems things are getting easier on the job front, work isn't pouring in, but it is certainly steady at the moment.

As for LlamaLAN, the site continues to keep me busy :) Rodney is ordered and en-route, ready to take his place next to dave on the server roster for LlamaLAN. With new site features going in ready for LL13 and old site features being repaired or re-written, I'm as busy as ever :D

New Tournament code is going in, as is new shoutbox code etc. Various bug fixes (as anyone who watches the bugs forum will notice) and a lot more besides.

I've got working rcon from the admin pages to certain server types, making running tournaments a lot easier :D Not to mention new virtual server builds to try and reduce the load on Dave (ubuntu builds with no GUI for example) :)

Another LAN over with

yet more work to be done on the site and the servers, but then there always is :D I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it :D

Work is going into the internet connection to see if we can get a better setup sorted for the next event :)

and I need more sleep, but I have to work today and try and shoehorn some code into a very old php environment :S

LlamaLAN games servers

on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 03:53:12 PM by: Kanonfodda

As LlamaLAN attendees will know, I run games servers as virtual servers running on an ESXi host. As LL/XI is fast approaching, I thought it was time to update the servers and make sure everything is working :)

This means that Dave (the ESXi box) will have somewhere in the region of 12 servers running on it. 4 Source (HL2), 4 COD4 and 4 UT2K4. There will also be two additional servers, one network box doing web and FTP and a smoothwall box, acting as a firewall between the LlamaLAN network and the outside world.

I've got the Smoothwall mastered and working as well as the source and Ut servers. My efforts now are based around the COD4 servers. I am working to add on promod to allow for a bit more flexibility in the tournaments.

Once they are in place I will be adding any other games servers that people want running, including a Q3A box provided by YaZoR :D

and finally, I've also been working on the Tournament code built into the site to allow us to run the big games etc easily :D The new bits will be available for the LAN :D

See you there.

maybe I should take up fortune telling

Got home from work yesterday to utter carnage...

My rather tall young son had gotten hold of a tub of sudocrem. He then proceeded to spread this around the living room, including:

  • the TV
  • the sofa
  • the chair
  • the floor
  • his rid e on thomas
  • and anything else he could get hold of


I was not amused (until he went to bed, when I fekin wet myself laughing! :D)

Small people can be too big

As most of you will know, I have a young son (Marcus). We are just getting ready to celebrate his 2nd Birthday (if he lives that long ;) )

One of the problems we have found, is the fact he is very tall for his age, he can actually reach on to the kitchen counter and take things off :S

Musings

on Thursday, August 28, 2008 10:36:31 AM by: Kanonfodda

so, why build a blogging module? You may as well ask "why run LlamaLAN", both questions have the same answer. It's all Golems fault ;)



This was started as a way to make the site more popular between events. It is intended for the "regulars" of LlamaLAN, although it is open to everyone :)
