Hosting Blog

Some minor updates on WebHostGear.com today. I changed our ad server, the previous version wasn’t always showing ads correctly in Internet Explorer browser. It would sometimes come up blank which was very strange. I also upgraded some scripts on the site.

Since I added the new image verification for comments I’ve only received 1 comment spam. This is a huge difference from previously where I was getting hundreds of spam comments per day.

I’m working on putting together a local file server for the office network here. There are a few old systems lying around that I can use their hardware and put them back to work again. The system I’m using is an old Celeron 566 Slot 1 but the card seems messed up. I managed to find a pair of P3 1Ghz CPUs on eBay for under $55 to replace the old Celeron. The board doesn’t have SATA but it already has over 700 megs ram so it should do nicely. All I need after the CPUs arrive are 2 IDE drives (probably 200+ gigs each) and I should be all set.
