Server Storage Increased, New Sever Status Block

Another disk has been turned up on the server, and the space has been dedicated for website usage. The size of the disk is 12G formatted.


ALSO, I've added a Server Status block to the right-hand side of this page. You may refer to this at any time to see the current server status. Update 2/2: I just realized today that the memory status was showing the memory free and not the memory used. This is fixed now.

Server has been rebooted

Just an FYI to all that care, I had to reboot the sever tonight. Somebody filled up the disk and things were probably in a weird state.


Guess I should get those other two disks up and running.

Spam-proofing your email address

There's an interesting tool that spam proofs your email address for web usage called the Email Obfuscator.

I gotta see if I can put something like this into PHP-Nuke.

Holmstadt.com

Obligatory Holmstadt .com link. Google fodder really. Need to up that Google ranking ;-)

Consumer Freedom

My brother just sent me a link to some ads from Consumer Freedom .com. They make some very intelligent points. I'd like to see more of these ads.

Mmmm. Meat.

Turning off console logging on RedHat/Fedora

If you're like me and log nearly every violation of the firewall using iptables rules, you've probably seen these violations on the console. This can be annoying if you are trying to actually use the console for something productive :-)

Here's how to turn up the severity level of logging on the console so that only more important messages get logged:

In /etc/sysconfig/syslog, change the following

KLOGD_OPTIONS="-x"

to

KLOGD_OPTIONS="-x -c 4"

This will drop the log level to 4 (from 7 I think) and will only log kernel mesages of this level or lower (higher severity). Presumably, you could turn off console logging entirely by using 0, but I haven't tested this.
