I am currently using rsync as a backup solution between two computers and an external backup drive, all operating across my wireless LAN. However, every so often - and always when syncing a lot of files - rsync has knocked out my wireless internet. Today, I decided to find out what was going on, and found the solution:
rsync --bwlimit=500 ...
It turns out that rsync was overloading my router with data, causing it to reset the connection. Setting a bandwidth limit (in kBPS) to one nearer that of the router prevents overloading, and allows the scripts to complete.
Based on my earlier design for the Sail Loft, I was commissioned by ArtyTechs to design a new animated logo for Cornwall-based Trevorry farm.
The logo and brand identity was integrated with the original site built by ArtyTechs /Â HMC.
Working with Fixel and SubSub, I was commissioned to design and develop a set of components for Flash to import and visualise Excel data tables. The components allow for simple data editing, visual style editing, and both chart and pie diagrams. They were also built such that they could be easily integrated with Fixel’s existing product code.
The components were built in ActionScript 2.0 to be fully object-oriented and extensible within the Fixel application.
I have now upgraded my hosting service and am in the process of migrating accounts for testing on the new system.
The upgrade means a lot more flexibility for my hosting packages, and revised package options will be made available as soon as everything is set up and running.
One of the main requirements I am hoping to get sorted as soon as possible is support for Ruby on Rails. I am also looking into the Mono project for running ASP.NET sites.
