Basic site maintenance.
Aug 2004
Been working hard porting my code from PHP to ASP.NET with C# code-behind. Most of the site
has been moved over, still a few rogue PHP pages awaiting a re-write though.

This month I changed hosting for mrceri.co.uk. I'm still with the same company (the excellent
SupaNames), but I've moved from their
Linux hosting to their Windows hosting. This won't mean much to most of you, but it will allow me
to use my .NET skills to add a lot more interactive content to the site, and hopefully make things
a bit more interesting!
In the meantime though, there may be a bit of disruption while the site is moved to the new
server, but hopefully all the pages and programs will be accessible throughout. If you spot any
problems, I'd really appreciate it if you let me know
so I can fix them ASAP. Cheers!

I originally wrote this as a quick tool for finding out my public facing IP
address from work - useful if your machine is behind NAT or some other network
gizmo that causes your local IP address to differ from the one you present to
the outside world. For those who don't know, you can find out your PC's local
IP address by typing the following at a command prompt:
ipconfig /all
You'll see lots of interesting words and numbers, including your IP address.
This may or may not match the IP address in the above table, depending on how
your network is set up.
When I put this up I thought it might be interesting to show what other
information is available to the web servers you visit. Admittedly it's not too
revealing, but it might surprise some people (particularly those surfing in
work, who's company name appears in the host name).

Bought myself a new toy - a Pocket PC (a Dell Axim X3 for the geeks out there). So
expect some Pocket PC versions of my apps to be released in the not too distant future...
Jan 2004
Removed mailing list form from site - figured I'm probably not going to send out any
mass-mails in the near future for fear of spam-cops swooping through my window in the middle
of the night and dragging me off for prodding and probing.
