Coffeehouse.co.nz

This has to be one of my favourite little places on the web. Penguin Web cams in Antarctica with a lot of gentoo penguins wandering around. Often they’re just basically sitting there, but they do seem to waddle around now and then.

Some of the 24 hour time lapse movies are really amazing to watch. The size and speed of some of the icebergs in the background is unbelievable!

Another web cam is here. This one is excellent to watch penguins waddle around in real time.

Well, I finally managed to crack a small but annoying problem on the webserver.

When anyone was requesting a web site directory URL like www.coffeehouse.co.nz/wordpress without the trailing /, then there would be an error,and not a redirection to the index page of that directory like it should.

Setting UseCanonicalName off in the Apache server settings seems to have fixed this without having to worry about any strange rewrite rules using regular expressions. Which I find still just a bit tricky to even sit down and try to learn, though I really should do.

Still, one more small problem dealt with…. Should have got around to that one a long time ago.
