WordPress, BackWPUP and SELINUX
I’ve been using the BackWPup plugin to back up my wordpress sites after a recent mishap. It seem to be one of the best free plugins that will take a full backup of a wordpress site. It not only backs up the backend database but also the entire file system. One of the best things…

Scottish 50/50 Championships
The 2014 Scottish 50/50 Championships were held on the 19th and 20th April in Parton, near Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway. As always, they were hosted by Auld Kirk Bowmen.

I’ve used photosmith previously but I’ve found the sync process clunky at best, but up until now it’s been the best way…
First EFAA Shoot of 2014
I’ve already entered several NFAS competitions this year with varying results, but so far haven’t completed any EFAA rounds.
