I start university again tomorrow morning. Hoping I can put in a bit more effort than I previously have. Might make an effort towards healthier eating as well. Feeling a bit sort of listless at the moment, not sure why. Decent weekend overall, attended a small wharehouse rave, was nice to see everybody in a fun, friendly environment.
My apologies that this post has had very little content, I think I've just been pretty busy lately.
EDIT: Oh, in further news, I've solved my little "Wake-On-LAN" issue. So far I have not been able to get Sweet Sixteen (Windows Server) to boot from NIC from a remote location. However instead, I've setup Jailbait to use a Debian version of the Wake-On-LAN tool. Given that I have full SSH access to Jailbait, I can log in, then wake up Sweet Sixteen in case I need it to do stuff for me. Currently Sweet Sixteen doesn't have many functions (Jailbait is now used as the web server and for some other 'Net facing projects), but I'm planning to add a dedicated server for Alien Swarm to it.
EDIT 2: Well, it seems I now have the tools and easy access to have a dedicated server for Alien Swarm running on Sweet Sixteen, not only does it work, I can even modify it to allow for first person gaming! While for some this won't induce any form of excitement or shock, those in the know will realise how good the top-down view in Alien Swarm is for when you need to turn around to see a charging alien. Removing this adds a whole new kettle of fubar to the mix. I'd love to try it multiplayer with some mates at some point, but currently anyone wanting to play needs to be on my side of the router (LAN game only).
