2026.05.26

I was digging about in this old house and found my old Tracy Island.
It had been stored for many years with the batteries inside it, which had not done it any favours.
However, with distilled vinegar, cotton buds and a screwdriver to chip the oxides off the battery contacts, I eventually got it working reliably.
It also needed quite a clean on the outside.

In other news, I transferred the xbomber.com domain out to Dynu and got SSL working on it.
So at least now it serves a separate purpose.
The crash.ddnsfree.com subdomain can be used as a fallback, but not with HTTPS as the server no longer identifies itself as that for SSL signing.

My next job will be to set up some databases and see what applications we can get running.
