Where It's Going

I can see where the network is going in my head, but it's hard to describe in words. What you are seeing on this website is part of it working. Let me try to describe some of the things I see working however.

I can see people being able to log onto a server for the purpose of using applications. There are several application servers, each with a different OS. These are implemented as virtual servers running perhaps on main1.

I can see websites running from my server(s). The first one is already in progress and it is the main website for the network. It is technically done, it's just that it isn't always working, as main1 is being worked on right now.

I can see down the road theoretical protocols created, such as the buy protocol and the sell protocol. These are protocols created by me.

I can see possibilities of being able to download stuff. You could download programs perhaps, that have been created.

I can see that not just the people who live in the house use this, but others as well. Right now it's only me using it, but I can see that expanding to others using it.

I can see the usefulness of the private mail system working. I can see it working with e-mail.

These are some of the things that I can see working on the network. Perhaps I will post more about them later.

What you are seeing now, is part of this coming true.

It is now possible to log onto several App servers. Each of these has a different OS. Mostly, it's different flavors of Linux. They are indeed implemented as virtual servers. One is running on main1. However, the majority of them are running on main2.

There are several websites, and/or web services. These can all be accessed from my main network web page. That is the only one of my network pages, that is located on a server outside the network. Mostly you can browse it as if it were all on one server. But most of it, in reality, is on my virtual servers.

The e-mail subsystems are all set up and working okay. We have a long ways to go before private mail works with e-mail, but we are on the way. Now we have the subsystems set up.
