My Hall(way) of Fame


This page was created in order to help me keep track of both the web pages I've created and the sites/servers I use. I also use several e-mail addresses, but for "security" reasons I am not listing my user name(s). I haven't decided how to help me remember these yet!

Last Updated: 14/02/08 added information about the LCD Display

Sites:


Besides Yahoo!/Geocities that the above are all based at/on, these are the Hosting Services I use:

SiteUser NameSubject/UsesComments
bravenetRayHamiltonNonefree version does not allow PHP

tripodunsurebidderDiet Watcher! can use PHP and can access tutorials (needed to activate both the site and php4u, but was easy enough)
0catchawaiting an e-mail to remind meNone n/a
wanadoohave registeredNonedoes not allow php
sitekreatorLearnLinuxI am creating LearnLinux here. Not sure of its limitations - still to investigate. Is easy to use and almost WYSIWYG, no PHP? definitely no ftp (the site states so)
orange.co.ukuse yahoo e-mailI am creating raystesting? here. Not sure of limitations yet - created 28/11/06 to investigate how to get around the banning of geocities at College
Although, as at least of 10/01/08, I CAN use geocities at College!
see for www.0php.com for information on free PHP hosts

Projects completed and/or useful

  • I use LogMeIn.com to enable me to use my computer at home from anywhere that I can get Internet access. This also allows me to view sites that are blocked at College (or elsewhere?)
  • I have a digital subscription to Linux Magazine
  • I have an account at eMusic for mp3 downloads (unlikely to keep for long because of the lack of mp3s?)
  • I have used mp3.ru?? for obtaining mp3s of music I own that is not on CD or digital already.
  • I use indigopuzzles.com to "play" Hitori and Hashi, also Suduko and Kakuro. I am registered (free), to view the archives and other benefits.
  • January 2008 I installed an LCD screen in the second 5 1/2" bay. It was obtained from ebay. It can be "programmed" to do many things such as display weather conditions. One reason I use it is to inform people at home when I am using the PC remotely (see LogMeIn above). Further details of controlling the LCD screen can be found at: Source Forge
  • Use Meebo to enable use of IM anywhere, as well as to use multiple accounts.
  • Watching TV/Video: joost,ninjavideo,alluc.org
  • Listening to music: iTunes, CNET downloads?,
  • Watching ACTUAL TV programmes: bbc.co.uk/iplayer and the other channels
