My Dad is becoming a General Contractor (Builds Houses), and I decided that a web site might be a good thing for him to have. So recently I’ve been working on the site and I think that it’s coming along nicely. I really like the layout of the site. I’ve been using Gimp to edit some of the images for the menu, it works pretty good for doing basic editing, I imagine with a little more patience I could get it to do anything. Nevertheless I’ll probably stick with Paint Shop Pro to do any complicated designs.

I was recently having some issues with my blog server software but after reinstalling everything is just fine now. My email server was down for a little while lately as well. I was making sure that my emails I recieved and sent would be virus free. I was using clawin for my virus scanner. It just had a little issue with it not wanting to scan the emails in the temporary folder. Also I finished writing a little script to keep my internet connection up. If when my server runs the script and it can’t ping some well known stable address then it reboots my dsl router. So now I shouldn’t be given a problem with down time anymore.
