In this time when a lot of people regularly use web browsers and gets used to them, the information flow, except in emails, is mostly one direction, to the consumer.

To prevent the claiming of the production means of information, web server should also be available to the model man, and since internet connections are also in our 'rich world' becoming possible in more than 1kb/s special computer form, it would be a good idea to make serving pages possible for a wider audience, and aiming at the normal use of a web server for advanced consumers to share their texts, (holyday) pictures, hobbies (is that spelling correct?), political views, public agenda's, and movies and web cam materials.

Tclhttpd is a good basis for a working web server, and this page is intended to outline, or maybe spell out when I find the time to use it easily and in a general way as a Personal Web Server.

Actually I just (27 may 2003) got back from holiday in France, while I live in holland by birth, and for some weeks I wanted to continue the operation of my habitual web server, which is also used for files on this wiki [http://home.tiscali.nl/theover] as a test and because, well, I wanted to continue serving pages and movies.

This of course required the computer running the server to stay powered and ON, which was doable in itself. I checked that it would restart automatically after a possible power failure, and it does, and wanted to run tclhttpd automatically, but not continuous for a few weeks, because I know that somehow the provider doesn't like a connection lasting more than the better part of a week without refreshing, and once the connection is lost, there is no point in continuing the server to run..
