Progression
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006Finally, the site is somewhat starting to come together.
The layout has been completed and the colour scheme is 99% done. I still have a few minor issues to sort out. For example:- the search function will search the blog entries only for some reason. None of the content off this page is searched and indexed. I am working on a solution.
The content is being added slowly now. Hopefully I will like and keep this layout for a while.
Good Shades, Bad Colours
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006In a chat with SoddenGecko i thought up this method for changing a sites colours when you have the shades right, but not quite the right colours. I’m too lazy to type it into a colour tutorial at the moment so heres the pasted chat message:
“if your thinking yea it blends well but i didn’t want a tan site, then take a screenshot, take that into photoshop, then open the hue and saturation window and change the colour till you like it, then sample the colours and replace them in css, voila”
Are you evil?
Monday, March 27th, 2006I guess that I am quite evil. Check it out.

Bandwidth Issues Part III
Sunday, March 19th, 2006OK I had a lot of trouble with bandwidth management on the firmware I had changed to. The damn things just would not let me control the bandwidth at all.
Fatty’s torrents still ended up taking my bandwidth and stopping me even checking my mail.
I was nearly at breaking point when I recieved an email from Linksysinfo.org with a reply to one of my posts.
I checked out the link provided, which led me to HyperWRT Thibor.
After installing and changing the settings to my liking I think I have managed to solve the problem.
The new firmware actually has the ability to prioritise computer ports, hardware ports (the physical ports on the router) and applications themseleves. I have been running the firmware for around 7 hours and all seems to be fine at the moment.
Hopefully, this is my last post on the matter. I have a sytem log in place to monitor the health of the network while I sleep and my housemate restarts his torrents.
Fingers crossed everything will be fine when I try to check my mail after breakfast.
Bandwidth Issues Part II
Sunday, March 19th, 2006Well, the last attempt at solving the problem did not work.
After leaving my computer idle for just 20 minutes, my housemates computers took over. I am getting annoyed with this little problem. Right now I have disabled both his ports on my router so I have time to find out what the hell is going on and hopefully find a solution to the problem.
I updated the firmware again to Sveasofts Alchemy. This one had the same results as the first one. So now I am trying Sveasofts Satori release. It, like the last one, promises bandwidth control and prioritisation.
I cannot upload it at the moment though, as my housemate is in, and guaranteed that if i started the update process he would try accessing the internet or something along those lines and interrupt the process killing my router.
I will post an update later once I have peace and quiet to get the firmware onto my router and to try and solve this little conundrum.
