*** 2019-11-27 A new dawn and a new day *** | |
As I sit here in the home office, listening to the rain on the windows | |
and watching the light struggle to make it through the persistent | |
Yorkshire clouds, I'm reminded of 2 things. The first is that it's | |
flippin' cold in the office, and the second is that I haven't had a | |

*** 2019-11-27 I need to write every day *** | |
As well as my other, web-based blog, I now have this gopher-based | |
"phlog" to maintain, which means I have to write something. Many days | |
I feel like dashing off a couple of paragraphs but don't get the time. | |
Other days I have the time but not the inclination. It's a pain, | |

*** 2019-11-28 Time for some quick cable tidying Part 1 *** | |
I looked at the power cable nest next to the side of the desk this | |
morning and tutted. So many cables that had been there for so long, | |
with many now actually being redundant. But this is the "problem" with | |
owning lots of Raspberry Pi's - each one needs an USB power cable, and | |

*** 2019-11-29 The decision has been made *** | |
Yep. I decided to do it. The day after moving the gopher server onto a | |
NUC I decided to move the web server as well. Actually, that'll | |
include the XMPP and MQTT servers as they all use the same SSL | |
certificate. I've ordered a new NUC and that'll probably be my project | |

*** 2019-12-01 Stress testing the new web server SSD *** | |
The new web server SSD arrived today along with the memory. As the | |
service level requirement will be high I decided to run Stressdisk on | |
it. Looks like all seems to going well so far and the speeds look | |
promising. We'll see what the results are like later - if all looks | |

*** 2019-12-02 The SSD tested ok *** | |
I'm pleased to say that the new SSD for the web site passed its | |
12-hour stress test session, so all I need now is the barebones NUC | |
box, and quite a lot of time. It's looking good though! | |

*** 2019-12-06 A new SSD and new server set up *** | |
Well, I'm pleased to say that the new WWW/XMPP/MQTT NUC server is up | |
and running, although I still haven't made the commitment to switch of | |
the old Raspberry Pi 3. One reason for this is that I didn't yet have | |
a backup of the new server: it took me nearly a full day to set up and | |

*** 2019-12-09 A near gopher miss *** | |
There was a rather long moment of panic over the weekend during which | |
time I nearly lost the Gopher server. Well, not actually lost (as in | |
permanently) as I have backups, but the NUC holding the Gopher had a | |
BIOS problem. As I'd recently updated the Web server and my spare | |

*** 2020-02-27 It has been a while *** | |
It's been a while since I last wrote a phlog entry. Winter has come | |
and sort-of gone and I've been busily involved with small projects. | |
The most exciting has been my foray into the Internet of Things, using | |
Lora nodes and gateways. Suffice to say that it you visit | |

*** 2020-12-03 A New Platform *** | |
Jyst a quick 'n dirty update to confirm that we'vd now switched our | |
hardware from the original NUC to a slightly faster NUC. More later! | |
