I’ve setup my home network with a domain and wanted to be able to access my home server, from my office, on a subdomain.
However, as is probably the case for most of you, I have a dynamic IP address assigned to my router when it connects to the Internet through my ISP. So I decided I’d have to setup my own dynamic DNS process!
First things first, it was necessary to create the subdomain I wanted and point it to my home router’s external IP address, and also to change the configuration on my router to forward all traffic on port 80 to my home server’s internal IP address.

After seeing quite a few websites with dynamic content based on the domain name, I wanted to give it a try to see how difficult it was to achieve.
Here’s what I came up with: DueABootin.com
As it turns out, it wasn’t very difficult at all! (Especially being hosted through WebFaction, they make it even easier!)

Ok, this is a little off-topic, but now that I’ve had my iPhone for a few weeks and have gotten past the initial excitement and installation (and eventual removal) of all the show-off apps, I have a good collection of useful ones :) (and maybe still a few show-off ones… ;) ) The list is as follows:
- Cannon Challenge (ok, so the first item on my list being a game isn’t promising, but I’m going in alphabetical order!)
- Currency
- Facebook (obviously not such a must-have if you’re not on Facebook… but who’s not these days? :P)
- Flashlight
- FTP On The Go (not free) Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, so I promised you the basic structure of an HTML page. So here is it:
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>My First HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is the first paragraph on the page.</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph on the page, and it's a little bit longer than the first one. Try resizing your window to make it narrower to see the text wrap but maintain the paragraph spacing.</p>
</body>
</html> |

What better place to start than at the beginning? Because web development involves quite a lot of jargon, I figure for the first few posts, I’ll just explain what things are. That way, once we start to get into it a bit more, you’ll know what I mean if I use any jargon (I’ll try not to use too much jargon, and just terminology where appropriate!).
So you’ve heard that there’s this stuff called HTML that you use to make web pages… but what is it, and what does HTML even stand for? Read the rest of this entry »
