Searchme =O I bumped up to this new kind of search engine that shows to results of the search in pictures (not in a list of links as Google does). Search engine is called SearchMe and it is still in beta stage. You can sign up for the beta-testing with a valid email address. Check out the presentation videos, browsing the results is quite cool =P

Winter Holiday Pictures We spent a short winter holiday at Levi (ski resort in Finnish lapland) last week. I had never visited in those parts of northern Finland and I had never been in Lapland during winter, so it was a great experience. We didn´t have time to downhill ski but we were doing lot´s of cross country sking and went to walk with snowshoes (I recommend) =P

The holiday pictures are in the gallery. On the way to Levi we visited our new doggy at Kemi. There are picture of the puppies too =S

I FORGOT TO TAKE BACKUPS FROM THE DATABASE BEFORE I STARTED TO REINSTALL THE OS.. F****CK.. I found an older backup but it was over a month old =( So everything I have made during last month is now lost. So don´t wonder where all the news and other stuff has gone

New Enclosure and HW Changes I ordered a new case for the server. Im tired listening the humming sound in my living room :) The new case is Nexus Caterpillar. It costs only ~65€ but should make the server much more quiet. The old one is just some ugly white/grey box. I will also update the hardware to the server from my old desktop computer. New hardware is something like this:
  • Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2600+
  • Motherboard: Abit AN7
  • Memory: 1Gb 400Mhz DDR2
  • Harddrives: 160Gb+80Gb+40Gb+40Gb

Little Updates I made some little changes to the layout. I made a new background-image for the header because the old was little too bright. I also made list style images to the front page. Every different type of news message has its own kind of image.

Most of the development is done to the content management at this time, so there have not been very much updates to the content itself. Sorry :)

Downtime Yesterday 9.8.2007, there was a 5-8h downtime. I think the reason for this was crashed DNS-servers somewhere. I couldnt connect to the website using www.laukaisualusta.com but I managed to connect using IP directly.
