u4u.be is live!

Friday, December 4th, 2009

A few days ago, I installed a script called tighturl on my u4u.be account.
It is now successfully working, and you may use it to shorten urls.
You can visit the url shortening page at http://u4u.be/.
I am currently looking into creating an api for my url shortening service, so that others can use it in their applications.
But for now, just visit http://u4u.be/ and enjoy!

Mtgames.org has moved

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

A few weeks back I moved mtgames.org to a new server.
I am now successfully hosting mtgames.org, technologywizard.mtgames.org, moo.mtgames.org, ai5hf.mtgames.org, and troop5.mtgames.org on my linode.
For those who don’t know what a linode is, it is a server run under linux.
It is what is called a vps, or Virtual Private Server, meaning more than one server os runs on one actual server hardware.
So far, mtgames.org and all other websites seem to be running smoothly.
Along with all the websites, I am also running two moos off the server.
One is at mtgames.org:2285, and that is the one called Dragons MOO which was previously at loohosting.com:2285.
The other one is at mtgames.org:8328, and that was the one named Hunt which was previously up at mcp-server.com:8328.
I may be putting another moo or two up in the near future, so just keep your eyes on this blog!
Until then, have a happy and safe web-surfing experience!
