I’m finally done!
From now on I’m just gonna code, eat and drink beer. Nice!

On the 3rd of September I’m starting on Computer Science at Aalborg University, instead of Informatics which I started studying this year. I really looking forward to it, since Informatics was a bit too soft! Far to less codin’ and far to much humanistic bladder.

On monday I’m starting at work, where I’ll be codin’ for June. In August I plan on taking a motorcycle license, and have some kind of vacation abroad.

Happy summerin’!

I’m so looking forward to getting summer vacation! Only problem is that I have a math exam on thursday, and I can’t really seem to take a hold of myself and solve som math problems.
I guess it’ll go as it must. At least I hope.

Started reading ‘Proffessional ASP.NET Speciel Edition’ from Wrox Press. So far it is looking very good! The only problem with would be that it uses Visual Basic for the code examples, but that really doesn’t matter.

On monday I’m starting at work fulltime. I’m really looking forward to it: Just codin’ and relaxing. That’s life!

Just finished retrieving a cool song – Blurry by Puddle of Mudd. Now that’s nice!

Also started solving some math problems, since I have an exam in it on Thursday. I don’t really know how it’ll go, but hopefully okay.

Found some rather cool Server Controls for ASP.NET. They’re called Internet Explorer WebControls. Go check’em out

I’ve been to Sweden on wednesday and thursday with the firm I work for. I was there with a couple of guys from work, and we visited a sister company.
Quite a nice trip, only thing bad about it was that we spend a lot of time in a train

Found a new ASP.NET editor that Microsoft has released. It’s called ASP.NET Web Matrix, it’s free, and actually pretty damn cool!
So if you’re into ASP.NET development I suggest you go ahead and get it.

On a sad note my server broke down the other day After a reboot it wouldn’t start up services and stuff. I got it up and running but it’s in single user mode. I guess I’ll have to reinstall it sometime soon. During that I’ll make full use of the RAID capabilities it has, so that an incident like this one wont be as bad in the future.

I’ve just been to an exam in one of the courses I’ve followed this semester. The course was computer science, or to be more exact basic programming. I got the grade 10 which I think would translate to a B+ or A- in the US system.

In this course the language used was SML in a special variant called MosML. It’s a weird language with a syntax in the like of LISP or something.
Actually I kind of like it At least as a language to learn basic principles, I couldn’t quite imagine codin’ SML as a living.

I’ve just found a way cool feature of Apache!
If you set up a domain or whatever in your httpd.conf, you can place additional directives in there instructing apache to redirect all request coming to this domain to another server. Well, that’s okay, but it also means that you can redirect requests to a server on your local LAN.
This is way cool for me, since I only have one IP address with my ADSL connection. Using this feature means that I can have several servers – and even with different OS’s – in the back and one public server, which will handle the redirecting, and the user won’t feal a thing.
Pretty cool stuff!

If you want to set it up place something like this in your Apache’s httpd.conf file:

ProxyRequests On       ProxyPass / http:///       ProxyPassReverse / http:///       ProxyVia Block

For example in a virtual host directive like this:

>     DocumentRoot /var/www/     ProxyRequests On     ProxyPass / http:///     ProxyPassReverse / http:///     ProxyVia Block     ServerName domain.tld

What can I say? Alot has happened!

On the 27th of May my group and I handed in our project at the university after a pretty nasty couple of weeks!
The server is rocking away! Current uptime is 65 days! Recently I installed SpamAssassin on it, and if you can not guess what it does I will give you a clue – it finds and tags all spam mail entering my server. Now that is nice! This way it is possible to set up a filter in your .procmailrc or whatever mail client you uses that all mail with this tag should be deleted of moved to a special folder.
I currently considering whether or not to move this domain, ziaNET.dk, over to my server, and I think I will. But it will probably be some time.
I have got at new machine, an Athlon XP 1700+ with some stuff in it It is currently running Windows XP, which some people might find weird. But I actually like it. On a side note I am currently looking into the .NET framework and Visual C#.NET, and from what I have seen I really like it! This summer I will be coding some stuff at work using the .NET framework, so that will be interesting. Haven’t givin’ up on PHP though

That’s it! Maybe I’ll be back again soon….
