The Big Weekend Wakeboarding.

Finally we had time to get on board with Ferns, Shell, Jacko, Nat, Giggsy and Anna. Out at Wisemans Ferry we hit the water saturday morning and had the lake like conditions and a beautiful summers day.

Everyone had a go and everyone got up :) Some of us (me) took longer then others... Shell showed us all what a natural looks like on the water.

A great day was had and if anyone is ever interested in wakeboarding head on over to..

Oct Long Weekend Pics

Moving Stilgs.com to Google Services.

Well the last 4 years or so running various versions of CentOS and REDHAT has come to an end. Stilgs.com has been through many facelifts with the introduction of various blogging systems.

But as of 20th October 2007 stilgs.com has been moved to Google.

Website - previously this was running on my server with Joomla as the website backend. Now this has moved to Google's Blogger system.  This is a great blog system and very easy to use, you just need an gmail account. You can also point your custom domain name to this site (in my case www.stilgs.com)

Email - This is the main reason i started stilgs.com was so i could have my own email. This has also been on my server running postfix but is now on Google's Apps. With this you can host your email (in this case stilgs.com) and then access this via webmail or through you local client. This service is great and allows up to 3gig for each user accounts mailbox.

Photos - With my current total around 6 or so thousand photos and getting many hits on the old site i needed something on the web to make sure that i still had the online photo albums. This is where Picasa Web Albums comes in handy. You get 1gig of space (you can pay for more) and the albums look great and the users can create sideshows etc. To get all my photos to fit in that 1gig i had to make sure that all my photos were resized to 640x480.

I hope that everyone still visits stilgs.com and checks out the photos.

New Site - New Settings - New Everything.

Hi All,

Yes it looks different!!! that is cause with the upcoming move to the central coast i will not have my home server to host my site and email. So after 4 and bit years stilgs.com will be hosted elsewhere.

That place is google! i have worked out how to host my email, web site and photos all at google for free :)

So stilgs.com lives on......

..stilgs...

Keep an eye out as i update the site and also start copying across 7000 photos.
