I've added a new feature to the website for Simply Remind Me - my free email and simple text reminder app. The website now shows live statistics, read directly from the Simply Remind Me platform.
The statistics show the number of new users, events created, reminders sent and the number of unique timezones the app has users registered in - since the start of 2023.
As of the time of publishing, these are the current statistics:
I first learnt of OctoberCMS in a tweet from @CatkinFox, that said "OctoberCMS blows WordPress out of the water, in almost every regard. Definitely check it out!"
I have hosted my website and applications on Fasthosts’ Virtual Private Servers (VPS) since September 2019. Each year, I have upgraded my VPSs to current models. Earlier this year, I became a partner of Fasthosts (under my brand name Waggybytes Technology) so I can recommend, support and re-sell Fasthosts services to other customers.
… we’ve been expecting you.
2021 started with much hope of vaccines to bring an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, alas it wasn’t enough.
A year – and three vaccines later – and there is no end yet in sight. Although hospitalisations are steady, despite the rising number of cases of the Omicron variant, so maybe there is a glimmer of hope for 2022.
As I reflect on the last year, I’ve made some achievements I’m proud of – both personal and professional.
Over the past few weeks I’ve migrated my website to a new content management system.
I took the opportunity to upgrade my website’s front-end technologies to their latest releases – Bootstrap 5 and VueJS 3, for example.

Please note: there will be other changes than these; I don’t use every component in the Bootstrap framework. Bootstrap 5 is still in beta and things may change before the final release.
My new hosting provider (blog post on that coming soon!) has notified me of 2 maintenance windows next week:
The first window specifically targets the VPS platform, and will see my server powered down and migrated to new infrastructure.
The second window will see an upgrade to the core network adding additional capacity and DDOS protection.
This outage will affect:
Ubuntu Server is a Linux distribution that is ideally suited to server workloads. For example: hosting websites and web applications.
One of the annoying things I find about some Linux distributions (Ubuntu included) is that packages are “frozen in time” through the life of a release. For example, Ubuntu 16.04 was released with PHP 7.0. However PHP 7.2 is now the latest release. Vendors typically apply security fixes to their packages, but you’re still missing out on new features.
… but I’m OK with it.
A few days ago I sat in an airport lounge in Gatwick, waiting for our flight to Florida. I had finished a diet Coke and was chewing on a piece of yoghurt-covered honeycomb (which was delicious, FYI) when I read a news article about Brexit that stunned me.
Europe dumps 300,000 UK-owned .EU domains into the Brexit bin
There are several scenarios in which you may want to redirect all your website visitors to a single, primary domain in Apache:
I have recently implemented the following on my own website, and I would like to share this Apache trick.
2017 was an exciting year for the bigger players in the cloud hosting arena.
