hi,

I just now ported my language "brace" to netbsd (thanks Prudhvi) and freebsd
(thanks Alastair).

Thanks guys for letting me ssh into your boxen!
Now, who has an openbsd or OS X box?  :)

Sam

I revamped the pi homepage slightly, to make it a bit prettier!

   http://nipl.net/

The html is now generated from this text file:

   http://nipl.net/index.txt

I am working on a "chatback" program, to add to my homepage, so that people can
chat directly to me on yahoo messenger from my homepage.  Should be nice.

I wrote a page about how this works in detail, please have a look if you are
interested.  I think it can be very useful - I found disk is the limit that is
reached first with a small vps.

80GiB +  they guy actually said I can use as much as I like and he'll tell me
if it's too much

It's a shell server called galactus, Pratyush gave me a login on it.  But there
are lots of cheap web/shell servers with large or unlimited disk.

Hi Sam!

What service are you using for this cheap disk storage?

:)  good stuff :)

In order to keep up with these other servers having more disk space, I mounted
an extra 10GB (for starters) from another server onto pi, via sshfs and an ext3
loop device.  It works very fast, there's not much difference from the normal
file system.  I am using a loop device, so I can make directories for any user
in it:

   sshfs#samwatkins@galactus:/home/samwatkins /n/galactus fuse defaults,noauto 0
1
   /n/galactus/pi-ext.img /ext ext3 defaults,loop,noauto 0 2

galactus has a 3.7TB /home partition with 640GB free so I don't think they'll
miss a few gigabytes.

fun fun, how to extend your little vps's disk with cheap disk from elsewhere :)

Hello Al! I just signed up with haxlab server, it was effortless and
fast! I have one suggestion though. While sending an email from the
shell, the mail server is using anurag@gamma as the sender email
address. Maybe you can update the /etc/mailname to reflect the correct
fqdn.

I have a new server "gamma" on the Internet.

It has 1GB of RAM and 40GB hard disk space.

You are all free to sign up - the account activation process is free, however
you need a token and that is "NIPLFREE".

I hope some of you can get some usage out of the server.

The token will remain for 7 days, until next Thursday, please do not distribute
this to your friends, it is for this group only.

The URL of the site for registration is: http://haxlab.net.

Happy hacking!

Apparently I did get bored, no javascript but I now have two java ssh applets,
a java vnc viewer and I wrote a CGI shell (runs over https) with ansi colors.
They are linked from http://nipl.net/ for access to the server.

I am using a vnc applet on my page about brace.  Brace is my version of C that
looks like python, also know as the "Not Insane Programming Language"  (that's
where "nipl" comes from) at http://sam.nipl.net/brace/

The applet did have a terminal on it until someone attempted to abuse it, now
it is showing a presentation about brace which I gave at an un-conference in
Melbourne.  It uses quite a lot of bandwidth so better not leave it running!

Brace is probably a bit more insane than it should be, needs some tidying up.

I hacked my web server tachyon to do logging nicely, to allow access inside
inside zip files, to do recursive directory listings, and a few other things.
I still need to fix CGI POST support which is weird and wrong at the moment.

blah blah whatever.!!!
