Its been a long time since I updated. Not due to keyboard problems or PC problems though. Just busy and stuff.
Anyway, whats been happening?
April 1st - Rhiannons 7th Birthday
Rhiannon got lots of Bratz presents for her birthday (from me, Shell and Shells mum) and Shell also got her some clothes and a massive pink fluffy beanbag. Typically, she loved the bean bag more than anything else...
Happy 7th Birthday Rhiannon
Yesterday morning, I woke Shell up at 9am and we booked a holiday for the end of April for 7 days. We are going to the Titanic Hotel Resort and Aquapark in Hurghada, Egypt
See here and here for more details.
Its basically a "sit-by-the-pool-sunbathe-drink-and-relax" type of holiday. If we enjoy Egypt, then we are planning on going back next year to do the tourist thing - Luxor, Giza, etc, etc
On the PC front, I am planning on making my situation cleaner, cheaper and less messy.
I currently have (in my rack):
RM Celeron 333 Desktop, 128mb, 4.3Gb running Smoothwall (this is my gateway, router, firewall machine)
Mini AT Tower Pentium 233MMX, 64mb running NASlite+ (this is my 240Gb NAS box)
Midi ATX P3-733, 128mb, 6.4Gb running e-smith server (this is my mail, web, proxy server)
By the time I go on holiday, I shall have (in the rack):
Compaq Deskpro EN SFF, P3-833, 128mb, 20gb running Smoothwall
Compaq Deskpro EN SFF, P3-1000, 256mb, 20gb running e-smith server
Midi ATX P3-733, 128mb running NASlite+ (with 320Gb of disk space)
I also have a new machine on the way for Rhiannon to use.
Intel Pentium PIII 866Hz
128mb SD PC 133 Ram
10GB Hard Drive
Multibay 24x CD ROM
On-Board Graphics
On-Board Sound
USB Ports
Network Port
Perfect for a machine used to surf to 3 or 4 websites and run Macromedia Flash and a couple of kids games.
This means of course, that I will have a load of kit to get rid of. If anyone is in need of a midi-ATX case (can hold 6 hdds and 3 optical), with an Epox D3VA motherboard, 2 matched P3-733s, basic gfx card, and a Compaq NC-3123 PCI Dual Ethernet card. No drives, optical drives or RAM suppplied.
