New Web Server

Anyhow, it is a bit slower machine, but since all it does now is run mail and Apache, it is plenty fast enough, and will no longer suffer from my daughter playing games.

What does this have to do with kayaking? Well, in a round about way I was holding off going kayaking until I moved the web server so as not to add any more stories until after migration was complete.

You'll notice over on the right hand side of the main page I now have a "Regional News" section. I have some test software running that pulls news off of Google into an XML/RSS news feed, and after I review it I post it if it seems like it might be of interest. Highly experimental and for now requires me to cut and paste the info links into the web software. If I can ever figure out a search string to find exactly what I want, and only what I want, I may code the web site to update automatically. That would be cool.
