I've finally finished my commenting system, so anyone can comment on my posts (well almost anyone... I do have some safe gaurds in place to prevent that thing we all hate...You know what I'm talking about haha)
Anywhoo. Some little finishing work and the website will be nearly complete, I think the only thing left to do is to fix the calendar thing on the side "Past Posts" and maybe some other minor things I can't think of at this very moment.
It seems a lot of people have one. Of MY name...but then again if you search Nick Dodd on Google, you might be searching for one of the many Professor Nick Dodd's that are out there...or maybe you just heard about me from someone or have one of my business cards randomly... (Funny becaue I've only given about 3 out since I made them last week)
Anyhoo, I have been browsing my hitlog...Yes my website has a hitlog, it doesn't collect any personal information though, just where the hit came from and the previous page visited)... and anyways, I have found a serious amount of google searches who's subject was none other than my name; Nick Dodd.
Another neat thing I have learned about my website from the hitlog, is that promoting works, also that frequent updates also work!! Google has a "Feedreader" crawler which I would presume is a crawler for sites such as this one, ones with frequent updates to content.... :)
I have to give my most sincere apologies for the recent downtime which effected all of our web sites including my own personal web site, an error occured in which the explorer file on my computer corrupted itself and so i didn't think that the web sites would be affected...
I guess I was wrong in my thinking, the whole server was down, but very silently was it so.
I was able to restore the system without any durastic measures, i simply restarted the system in safe mode and did some command line tinkering to replace the corrupted explorer with one of it's many back ups that exist on the OS.
I also found some services were functioning wrong and corrected them, and everything was very nicely back to normal, in fact better.
The irony in this was that I had worked on all of the servers a few nights before to enhance overall network and systems security... and I didn't even noticed this issue.
