My list of things todo at home

- Export each Carmarthenshire Historian opd (Ominipro project) as html.
|
|
- Create a TWiki group called HistorianGroup - so that new users can be added to it for editing rights to the historian pages. Need to make sure that this group has write access to the Historian pages only - this appears to be impossible to achieve without giving rights to the entire web. Write acces can be configured on a per topic basis - I wonder if child pages inherit this property? ANS: Doesn't look like it. Might consider

- Create a new web for the Historian - will make access control easier to think about, and will be able to configure the navigation bar exclusively for the Historian. Figure out seperate domain names using Apache: vhosts.

- Could consider adding HistorianGroup to all existing historian pages - and then change the new topic template to ensure that the users existing group (in this case HistorianGroup) is added to the ALLOWCHANGETOPIC list for new topics. I don't like this solution - I think a separate web is the answer. Wonder how difficult it would be to migrate existing pages to a new web?
- Change WebTopBar to have a search box instead of a jump box.
- Install TWiki on powerbook

- Investigate the cost of hosting, versus the cost of buying another machine. Backup to home machine (or vice versa). Hosting might be the way to go - but it's very expensive (getting adequate disk space is very expensive). I've also looked at Backup services, such as sagonet.com, 25 bucks for 50GB. This kind of service provides rsync servers. Problem is that to seed this amount of data would take a days with the kind of upstream bandwidth I have (just over 1MB/min). I could do something that combines both kind of services - where the bandwidth is good between the two, but still would have to seed from home to one of the services (but it's a one off cost). Alternatively, could install a machine with a family member that has cable, and seed the backup with local hard disk, then would only need to incrementals over cable.

- Incremental backups. Increase the number of backups: daily for a week; weekly for a month; and one yearly backup. Buy another couple of usb hard drives. Buy a fire proof safe.
- Figure out why usb drive doesn't auto mount after re-boot. /dev/sda1. Idea: usb modules may not be loaded at the time fstab is read. Interim answer would be to call mount in the backup script. What happens if mount is called on a device that has already been mounted to the file system?
- Figure out why wireless network stops performing for short periods of time (10-15mins).

- Setup email notification for crontab job failures.
- crontab, where does it store its data? I want to make sure that I can backup it, and later restore it!
