Technically minded Weblog

My new domain, ddscentral.org is now live.
There are still some issues (like posts not opening and comments not working) but they will be resolved soon.

Note regarding my email:
dds@ddscentral.co.cc will still remain active but will forward to dds@ddscentral.org (my new email).
same applies to the junkbox@ddscentral.co.cc.

Will update when the issues are resolved.

My new domain is now registered but it will take a while to setup the site to use the new domain.
The site might be offline for up to one day.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I’ve finally made a decision to get a proper second level domain (instead of co.cc).
The new domain will be “ddscentral” under one of the major TLDs:
no, not ddscentral.com (already registered, but without any IP)
no, not ddscentral.net (not my kind)
so, it will be ddscentral.org.

So, if domain registration goes smoothly, the blog will soon have a new location (and I will have a new email).

I also plan to create a new (second) blog in my native language (not English).

I’ve just recently noticed that my web services domain (ws.ddscentral.co.cc) resolves to an incorrect IP address.
I’ve already fixed the problem by updating the DNS record, but it will take some time for the updated record to become live.

Pingbacks and Trackbacks have been disabled due to spam. Until I will find a solution to prevent pingback/trackback spam they will remain disabled.

Weblog’s DNS records have been updated. Now our weblog can also be accessed using www hostname. Address www.ddscentral.co.cc is now functional.

A new category “Hardware news” was added. All my hardware news will go there (I will need to do something about that GAOTD image, because it’s too big and messes up the navbar).

Also, the ReCaptcha plugin has been installed in the comment system to prevent automated bots from posting crap in comments.  I had to pay my host to enable PHP sockets for this. The good thing is, they also enabled other premium features, like sendmail, database backup and file backup.

I’m also planning to update the creations section because now it’s just download links without any description except the download title.

New Weblog is live ! I finally got rid of Blogger and installed WordPress. Our Weblog now has a new design (based on Motion theme). But yes, I kept the same background.

I also plan to move all my old pages (like Creations, Email) to WordPress.

Goodbye Blogger! Hello WordPress !
