Wuhoo! Finally! Omg, and what a good semester it was. I didn’t get any depression attacks whatsoever! Awesome. And all through that time I was managing PGN (My Gaming Comnmunity). And it has over 1000+ registered users now. Man, I’m so happy, hehehe. I believe I have good standing on my four classes which were Data Structures, Computer Architecture, GNU/Linux class, and the Game Development class. I’m expecting some decent grades and hopefully it’ll help my GPA a lot. I’m also going to take some summer classes so I can take off a bit of my load before Fall 2008 Semester starts.

Spring 2008 Semester Is Over
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Signed Up For AdBrite
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008Well, since Google decided to disable my AdSense account I decided to try AdBrite after a couple of months of not having any advertisement in my gaming community portal (Pakers Gaming Network). Hopefully this one turns our just fine. Right now I have two ad zones (That’s what AdBrite calls them), a pair of 160 x 600 and 728 x 90 banners. The 160 x 600 will be shown in my front page and any other page under it except the forums…the advertisements on that part is handled by the 728 x 90 banners.
Well anyway, we’ll give it AdBrite a try until I can find a more viable solution regarding showing advertisements in any of my websites.
I Need The 1U Server Online…Soon
Sunday, May 11th, 2008With the way things are going now…I need to send my 1U server to Josh A.S.A.P. because the JoinPGN.com portal is growing too fast and with the amount of users registering everyday to join our community, hosting game servers together with LAMP isn’t a good idea.
Scheduled Dedicated Server Maintenance
Monday, May 5th, 2008Well as soon as the Spring semester is over, I will do some maintenance on the dedicated server hosted by Centauri Communications.
Here’s a couple of things I need to do (Some of which probably requires Josh’s techs to do).
- Repartition the HDD – Right now, the /usr/local has over 150GB while /home and /var/www/html has only round 20GB each. I mean come on! Why was it like that, /home should either be the largest partition…anyway, I still don’t know how to figure out the partitions if /home will be the largest or should I divide it between the /var/www/html directory.
- Clean the system – There’s a couple of ‘stuff’ I need to remove in the system…nothing really critical, just some garbage.
- Upload the server backups – Yep, I need to upload the back ups there since I will be reformatting my desktop computer too.
- Run the PGN Portal in its own separate user account – This I haven’t figured out as well. Hehehe. But I’m reading about Virtualmin (Module for Webmin) and it looks like it’ll be the answer to my problem. Because what I’d like to happen is the PGN portal runs off the www.JoinPGN.com domain, and then when I add new users, they’ll have like a separate website domain that says…www.JoinPGN.com/~username. Something like that, this way I will be able to help those clans out there who need a bit of webhosting (I can probably help them out too with their game server needs as long as they’re a west coast clan/community.
- Install FTP – This goes with the ~username subdomains for every new user so if I ever want to make new game servers, it’ll be under a new username…and then they can have ftp access to it. That way I don’t have to give out shell access ever.
I think the most important part right now is determining if Virtualmin will solve my problems.
