News Displaying 114 to 123 of 116 I learned earlier this week that John Baddeley, who performed the voice of PPA, as well as General Kyle's number two officer, in Star Fleet, sadly died on 13th September.
John also performed the voice of Top Hat in Tugs, (who has a bit of a similar personality to PPA).
I noticed that Sean Barrett, who was the voice of Captain Orion in Star Fleet, worked with John in Tugs as well, and provided the voices for Big Mac and Hercules among other characters in Tugs. You might've seen that, whenever this site links to content on twitter, I always use nitter, which is an open-source twitter proxy that protects users' privacy by not making them log into anywhere.
For a while, the best nitter instance was on poast.org, but I'm told that, due to increasing infrastructure costs, that nitter instance will probably be stopping at the end of the year.
There was another instance at privacydev.net, which this site also linked to, but privacydev has also gone dark since last month.
However, the original nitter.net is back and works even better than before.
Hopefully, things will stay that way for a while.
Once, we had an internet, where the purpose of it was to share information.
Now, by and large, it hides and controls information behind federated logins and paywalls.
Maybe one day, we can get it back to the way it was. Not a huge or exciting update, but, initially, when I started running XAMPP on the downstairs box and opening that machine up to the outside world, our external IP was quite static and sat there without changing for a good few weeks.
Since then, I was having to make changes to the '$box_ip' variable in the site's index page to keep updating the IP every couple of days, which was in no way practical, since we've been quite busy lately.
I was chatting on over at the deadnet forums and it sent me hunting after dynamic DNS solutions.
Dynu has a free service where you download a client onto pretty much any OS - even iOS, amazingly - that polls their server every so often to find out your external IP and then it updates dynu's DNS records for your domain name accordingly.
I see that the service also allows you to apply SSL encryption (although there is a minor cost involved) in case I ever want to host any applications on that box as well as any big files.
You should find now that the link to the Krystal file area never points to a previous IP.
That machine has a lot of space. I would be interested to hear any ideas around what Star Fleet material we might store on there to expand xbomber.co.uk as a one-stop-shop for Star Fleet information.
