Today I realized my web site had been serving an empty HTML document for the last 2 days on every HTTP request no matter what the path was. When I initially noticed the issue, I was a bit worried, but, after taking a closer look at the Apache error log, I found out about a [...]

Although the full content of the posts is available in the website feed, until today I had been limiting the content (to just the post’s summary) that would be retrieved by UniversalFeedParser, which is the user agent string the PlanetPlanet software uses. This was done so that any buttons or ads do not appear in [...]

Okay. It’s been five years since I started this website and I feel I want to share with you one or two things about it. In this post I’ll try to go back in time and write about why I started it and what this web journal has accomplished so far. I also post some [...]

During the last weekend, I made some changes to the website’s feeds. It seems that, after 4 years of blogging, I have finally made up my mind about what is needed and what is unnecessary regarding the syndicated content on G-Loaded.

The website was down for over 48 hours. My new internet and telephony provider is 100% responsible for this situation and tomorrow I am going to have a word with them and demand an explanation about why my internet and phone lines were down for two days, despite the fact that I pre-pay the standard [...]

Last weekend I spent most of my free time revising the configuration of the server. This time my sole intention is to further improve the allocation of resources (mainly memory) to the various services. This involves a lot of testing, graphing and note taking as some of the currently used software needs to be fine-tuned [...]

In the previous post, I had written a few things about my intention to make the full content and not just the summaries of the posts available through the feeds (RSS or Atom). This was a hard decision as I’ve always considered feeds as a medium for notifying readers that the content of the website [...]

It’s been a few months since I last updated the web site, so apologies for the long period of silence. During the last months, although I was around, I tried to spend as less time in front of a computer as possible, so updating the website was not a priority at all. Not using a [...]
