Ahh, Tintern Abbey, UK, Fall 2009.  Sadly, it seems that we won’t be making it back to the UK or Netherlands this year.  The next time we get to go will likely be entirely for pleasure.  That has some advantages, of course–I won’t be occupied with work-related activities for any of our time there, for [...]

Technology upgrade time!

by Jonathan 28 June 2010 Photography

Backup Strategies

by Jonathan 3 June 2010 Technology

I’ve done an awful lot of disaster recovery (DR) planning and implementation (and thankfully very little execution!) over the years.

SPF Records and YOU

by Jonathan 25 March 2010 Technology

The Domain Name System (commonly known by its acronym, DNS) has been around for a long while.  Over the years, it has had enhancements and features added to it.  It works based on a series of records, describing information about a hostname.  For instance, when you came to this website here, the address is “www.jennyandjonathangetmarried.com”.

Poor technical score: Your bits are showing!

by Jonathan 25 March 2010 Technology

Yeah, I broke all kinds of things when I moved the blog around and re-organized things.  One of those things was the RSS feed, which is used in news readers and in all sorts of places where I might want to have this content re-posted.  One of those places that used it was my Facebook [...]
