Budget module active

PHP development

 The Budget module is solely a way to have an overview of what fix costs a person has, to be able to evaluate if the monthly income is enough to handle these. It displays in a table format, how much money will go away every month so people realise what they can really spend.
In addition to that, it will calculate how much money one has to put aside every month, so the big bills at the end of the year won't eat up a full monthly income.
The Block function will show what the will be spent ...

Timesheet updated with some new features

PHP development

 the timesheet software, web-application clone from the PAZE software, has had some new features added. Most data for a yearly holiday display was already available. So - all I had to do - was to format the data into it's own view.

The other added feature required more interaction with the system. As a traveled distance submission had to be added, and pu...

 Well - what I suspected to happen, happened. In fact, in 24hours, I had 6 Bot-Login requests coming through.

I don't know, if valid/real requests had been made here though.
From the submitted E-Mail Addresses, I do think that these are Bots.

Seems I'll have to add a possibility to identify living human brains somehow. Note that the system requests the User to validate his request. he is being sent a link to activate. If he does not do it - even the admin can not un...

 it looks like some bots are very active, and have a small AI permitting to perform login requests.
Upon user request - I had reactivated user-account requests on my website.
It didn't take 1 Hour for 2 Account-requests to get through, obviously with wrong E-Mail addresses. I'll observe the overall behavior. If it get's overhelming, I'll disable Account-Creation again.

New server in place

msi wind

 as the old one did die randomly, and it is of over 10 years old already, I decided to go for a new hardware.
In fact, I found in a shop nearby a MSI Wind PC2325VHB with 2GB Ram, 500GB Harddisk, and an Intel Atom 230 @ 1.6GHz.
All I had to do, was to copy the content of the harddisk of the old server over, make sure the network card driver worked, and the new mac-address was assigned to eth0. Also, the grub-loader had to be reconfigured to boot from a S-ATA disk instead of a IDE disk.[b...

LongTime bug finally fixed ... lo interface not being configured at boot.

Stargate Icon

 For a long time, the stargate server was not able to perform an automated reboot.
It was quite difficult to figure out why, the loopback interface did not come up. However, after following the boot-up process several times, it avered that the /var/run could not be mounted as virtual filesystem, as it would be overmounted by the /var Partition. However - the ifup program looked in the /var/run/network file to see if an interface is already configured.
When the system did shutdown, the l...

Greylisting reactivated

 as it seems, many spammers and spam-networks come back to life, and the bayesian filters are not capable of reaching a high enough score for tyhe spam-system to identify and lock out SPAM, I have reactivated greylisting capability to see if it locks out some more spam. Right now - about 10 get through the spam-filter a day. Hopefully, this will work.

Harddisk replaced

Linux Hardware

 A new hard-disk, 160GB has been put into place. With this - hopefully, all issues should go away. Note - it is possible that some files are missing - as some errors were notified during the copy process. However, taking a copy of the still running system has probably less missing files than a 28 hours old backup.
For those reading their mails on my system, if an old mail is missing - let me know. I can restore it from the old backups (50 Weeks rotation is configured)...

Harddisk starts to fail ...

 the harddisk of stargate starts to fail. As I'm locked out on an island, and no ETA for my return is available, I tried to fix all issues, relocate the bad blocks on the harddisk. Hopefully this remote-repair operation will last long enough until my return to swap the hard-drive.

 Added a small addition to the site active_users function. It now extracts data from the referer to identify the Operating system of the requesting browser, and displays some statistics. All non identified Operating systems known are Linux, Windows and Macintosh - go into the group Other.
Note that the percentage is calculated on every page access.
