Installing debian, the hard way

Posted by on 23 December 2008 2 comments

As said earlier this week, one of my plans is to test Xen the upcomming holiday.
As I need for this a new debian install thats the first thing to start with. As my current dev box is pretty old (Its somewhere from 2000, with only a 800 MHz CPU and 128MB RAM), its going to be fun.
Firstly, as I dont have any CD-r’s anymore, and the box dont want to start with a USB stick to boot, there is no OS on it, and I dont have another floppy disk as the one in that box I have a problem.

After trying some stuff around I found a BIOS update, that should support USB booting. I also found a HD that has still debian on it, so we have 2 things. Now only need  to find a floppy, what I need to use for the BIOS update. That wasnt that difficult :P

Now I have those all I need to make a USB stick empty, and try to update it. More to follow soon?

holiday plans

Posted by on 21 December 2008 No comments

Yes, its finally holiday (And a long time ago I didnt write anything real here), and I hope I finally have some free time to do some stuff I planned for some time already.
Since last April iam already busy with the new style for “Het Gamehuis”, what is custom made for us. The only thing we needed to do was making from a sliced PSD a real phpBB3 style. Iam currently (Actually since April) busy with this, and its getting nice :) .
But it still need to be finished, so this is something I really want to do this holiday completely :P .

Besides that I will try to find llook into Debian Lenny (Whats hopefully soon to be released) with Xen.  This will be used later possible for some new things hosthuis might going to use. This is already on my todo list for some time, and hopefully I will be able to do this now.
It at least need to be done before around May :P .
Hopefully my old PIII will be good enough to do my tests on :P

After that I also need some school stuff, like learning for a test again. The first monday after my holidays I need to  my math test again, as I failed for my first try. So I need to learn pretty much for that :( .

So I at least have enough things to do :P .

You will see soon a new version of www.paulscripts.nl made with Zend Framework! :P

php4

Posted by on 20 October 2007 No comments

Why are hosts still using php4 on there new servers? I really dont understand that, as php5 is now released for several years, and more stable and secure as php5. Many users say that there scripts will not work on php5, but why? That much changes arent there between functions in php4 and php5, so a lot scripts will work perfectly.

Not migrating to php5 is for a lot scripters a big problem, as they want to use the features that php5 have, but they cant use them because hosters are still using php4. I really hope this is going to change soon, when php4 is really EOL.

Also, the same thing is for mysql4.0 (And maybe 4.1 but that iam not sure about :P ), thats also EOL, but still a lot hosts are using it.

Bijna vakantie :D

Posted by on 18 October 2007 No comments

Nog een dagje naar school  en het is alweer herfstvakantie.

Eigenlijk zou ik in de herstvakantie naar London gaan, maar helaas is dat door omstandigheden niet doorgegaan. Dat betekent echter betekent dat niet dat ik niks te doen heb hoor :mrgreen:

Als eerste moet ik een deel van de website van tweehek (www.tweehek.nl) afmaken. Daarnaast moet ik leren voor enkele toetsen die ik heb na de vakantie, en het verslag voor ons project afmaken.

Dus echt een rustige vakantie zit er niet in helaas :(
