      • Apache
        29/09/09
        Configured Apache to redirect visitors to virtual hosts with many aliases to one domain name. Tried to find a generic way of doing it (using ServerName vs ServerAlias) but was unable to do so. So did it manually for each of the domains.

      • Evogrid in NYTimes
        29/09/09
        An article was published in the New York Times today about the Evogrid project.

      • Game economy resources
        26/09/09
        Had a short discussion about in-world economy resources.

      • Game Forests
        25/09/09
        Spent a bit of time today testing parameters for generating the in-game forest. I found some that look like they will work nicely, and have updated the world map:

        There are not yet in world, but because I'm using the same data generator in both the map generator and the world generat

      • EvoGrid
        25/09/09
        Improved the EvoGrid analyzer library to allow multiple callbacks to be attached to one parse of the history.
        Also simplified the presentation of the data to the callback creator, so it is all available at calling time, versus at different points.

      • EvoGrid and NWN
        22/09/09
        Spent some time over the weekend playing Neverwinter Nights. (The first one, not the sequel.) I've been playing multi-player with a friend, it's good fun with another person, even though we've both played the content before.

        Had a meeting about the EvoGrid development, and

      • Perl CPAN and Debian
        17/09/09
        Today I spent some time setting up a Qmail monitor for Nagios. This was because at some point during the day, one of the daemons that make up the Qmail system mysteriously died (as seems to happen with this VPS).

        As part of this, I installed the check_qmailq Perl script. This required the

      • Joomla Contact form reCAPTCHA
        16/09/09
        I just found and set up a reCAPTCHA plugin for Joomla. The 1.01 version includes support for the Contact form (1.0 only integrates with a per-article comment system the creator uses). Missing in the instructions is that the configuration panel described is in Extensions -> Plugin Manager -> Sy

      • ClamAV with SpamAssassin, EvoGrid, and Firefox
        15/09/09
        I set up ClamAV integration with SpamAssassin on the DS VPS. This causes any virus containing emails to be rejected with a high spam score. I went through SpamAssassin, rather then QMail, because the process for integrating QMail with ClamAV is to use QMail-Scanner, which replaces a qmail file with

      • EvoGrid web services & Websites
        10/09/09
        Implemented a new version of the EvoGrid web service, where there's a single index.php and it uses appended /simulation-id/property semantics to retrieve the property specific to that simulation id.

        Sepnd today doing some fiddly details on finalising the DS hosting move.

      • EvoGrid Analyser Library, Plesk and Nagios2 Event Handler
        08/09/09
        Today I got the first fully functional version of the EvoGrid Analyser helper library in place, which collects the position and velocity data into arrays, and the bonds into an igraph structure.

        Spent some time poking the VPS mail configuration a little more, it had started reporting itse

      • Sudoers Parallels, and music streaming
        04/09/09
        Today I worked on off-site backing up the VPS, and set up Sudoers so I could get root permissions for the backup, without needing to manually enter a password. During this process, I mangled it to the point that sudo wouldn't work (and sudo was needed to needed to fix it...).

      • EvoGrid Analyser library
        03/09/09
        Worked on the EvoGrid Analyzer library today, integrated libCURL, YAJL and the FSM. As this is the second time I've done this (the first time was for the generator configuration parameters), the process was straight forward, but complicated by using an overly large test data set, the data set g

      • QMail, Reverse DNS, and EvoGrid
        02/09/09
        Spent time tweaking the new VPS QMail settings, so that the mail came from digitalspace.com by default, and that it identified itself as mail.digitalspace.com during SMTP HELO. Also worked with the hosting provider to get our IP reverse DNS mapped to mail.digitalspace.com . It took a bit of explaini
