I know, I know. It's been a while since I last wrote anything here. There are a few reasons for that, but the one which surprised me the most was the disillusionment I came to feel towards the whole blogging thing. I haven't read any of the blogs I once ...

Some time ago I expressed my delight at discovering Brandon Fuller's "Now Playing" plug-in for the Windows version of iTunes. "Now Playing" creates a small XML file containing information about the track currently playing in iTunes and exports it via ... (continue reading) - Where the Heck is Jonathan?

I'm here! I know, I know... I've been pretty much off the grid for a few months and I apologise for that. I have been extremely busy with work recently (always a good thing) - to the extent that I have simply been unable to participate on my favourite ...

Oh boy, the Urban Mainframe server migration certainly didn't go according to plan. In theory it should have been a simple exercise: copy the MySQL database, CMS and web-server file-system from an aging and under-performing Linux 7.3 server to a new RedHat ... (continue reading) - Downtime Advisory

I am currently in the process of moving the Urban Mainframe to a new server at Rackspace. Whilst I have done everything possible to minimise downtime, I expect to have to take the website offline for around half-an-hour sometime within the next 48-hours ... (continue reading) - A New Palette

I took a little time out to freshen up the website with a few adjustments to the CSS and a new header graphic (you may need to use your browser's "refresh" control to see the results of the new CSS). The header image is a 1600 x 161 slice of a GNOME wallpaper ... (continue reading) - Categorising Content

I've been extremely busy of late (which is why it's been so quiet around here) writing lots of code for the CMS in order to accommodate a new project we're working on (I'll write more about that when I am able to). Unfortunately, my recent workload has ... (continue reading) - Reality Bites
