Atlassian is supporting Open Source Battlefield
I am very happy to say that Atlassian has been kind enough to offer full licenses to me for my development site Open Source Battlefield.
After setting myself up with JIRA, Confluence, Greenhopper and Crowd, I applied to the sales team at Atlassian for a license based on the nature of software that will be released on Open Source Battlefield. The team got back to me in a couple of days and I can now happily say that the new site is up and running with all the bells and whistles.
So thank you very much to Atlassian for the following products and supporting my open source development initiatives. So now I can get on to all the documentation and coding I have backlogged in my brain which I will be doing in due course.

OpenSourceBattlefield is Undergoing Changes
Due to some issues that arose recently with a server move OpenSourceBattlefield (my development site) is currently offline. I am working on getting a new site set up with several Atlassian products including Jira and Confluence ASAP.
In the mean time if you wish to get the source code for cPanelSVNManager (which at this stage is the only active project on OSBattlefield) you can get the latest version from http://svn.opensourcebattlefield.com/cpanelsvnmanager/trunk/.
If you find any issues or have any questions please contact me via http://stuartryan.com/contact-me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Cheers

OpenSourceBattlefield is Here!
OK SO I have not been around for some time, but I have been a busy little beaver setting up my new site OpenSourceBattlefield.com.
For quite some time I have worked on little projects here and there and not really had anywhere solid to put them, this has included a couple of wordpress plugins including WP-Honeypot. Sadly these projects have been forgotten and need some maintenance and review and so I have put together OpenSourceBattlefield.com
Currently I am working on getting the site up and running. The biggest project I currently have open is cPanelSVNManager which is a script designed to make the installation and upgrade of Subversion (with Apache Modules) on cPanel servers far easier and far less painful than doing it manually every time. My vision for this in the long run is to actually convert this into a WHM plugin so that it can be run and managed from within WHM itself.
The other projects I am having to import and build the documentation up for bit by bit, however if anyone is interested in contributing you are more than welcome (details on the site on how to do so).
So that is where I have been 
Keeping myself busy and in lots of trouble.

Welcome SingleHop Customers
I just wanted to extend a warm welcome to any SingleHop Dedicated Server customers that drop by over the next few days. I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Daniel from SingleHop recently regarding my experiences at SingleHop for their new newsletter.
As I said to Daniel in my email I could not be happier with the service I get from SingleHop and hence why I have stuck with them for longer than any host I have used previously.
Seeing as we are here, for all those SingleHop visitors, what is it that you love about SingleHop? I would be curious to hear your experiences as they have always been great for me.
Anyhoo, you will probably notice that this blog is extremely new, and I have only just started putting content up. As this blog will be technically oriented I would love to chat to people who work with computers or even just use them for fun. I will try to stay on chat a little more often over the next couple of days, so feel free to drop me a line either via the Contact Me Page or if I am on live chat you can just click on the live chat icon to the left.
So, seeing as this blog is starting out new, I am more than happy to take suggestions on what you might like me to cover or investigate for you. Feel free to follow me on twitter (as technotebook for site updates or ereality for my regular tweets). Also as a note if you aren’t already, don’t forget to follow the official SingleHop on twitter, to keep you updated with the latest news and offers.
I will be getting more content together in the very near future and as I said, would love to capture your attention more often, so let me know what sorts of things you would like to see.

Welcome to Technical Notebook
Welcome to Technical Notebook, my name is Stuart and I am a geek…
After blogging for almost two years at Secluded Habitat (my personal blog) I wanted to start focusing on blogging more about the things that I know, and computers… well lets just say I know a fair bit. This is not to say that I know everything, in the world of computers everything is constantly changing and anyone who tells you that they know everything about computers is themselves a fool.
Technical Notebook is a place that I started up as I wanted somewhere to be able to put technical solutions that I have either found in the deep dark recesses of the internet or otherwise developed myself to try to make things easier for people when they run into problems.
Often the articles that I write will assume a minimum level of techical knowledge about the subject matter, so this will not be a blog that you can come back and visit regularly, more an archive of solutions etc, hence the name Technical Notebook. At times however I will include a post or two from the inner ramblings that are my mind or something funny to lighten the mood. For the moment however I do not intend to update this blog more than once every couple of weeks.
If you have a technical problem and need some help I am more than happy to see if I have the knowledge or help you find it, just drop me a like on the Contact Me page and I will see what I can do.
