This site started life as a project in HTML, evolved into ASP on a Windows NT server sitting under the stairs and was then ported onto an X-Box running Gentoox . The trouble was the X-Box doesn't survive for very long as a server and I managed to kill both it and the backup box within about 6 months.
A dash to the boot fair got me "pixie" which is an old Dell desktop running Windows XP. It ran Apache for a while, carrying the old site content but not much else.
There is an MSI Starcam webcam fitted to the server which generates images using EasyWebCam .
I managed finally to get PHP and MySQL loaded thanks to the excellent XAMPP project.
After that it was a simple job of loading in WordPress and Joomla .
