Biggest day to day job is mailing list moderation.
Updating text and pictures on the site, ( wiki style).
Other stuff is linking to the right images, sources changes on the FTP.
Building and uploading bundles to the FTP.
Occasional VNC session on the image to implement a change to Smallwiki.
Fiddling with CSS and Smallwiki templates.

Yes, it's not a big job, if you can delegate tasks and projects. It's a 
big job to migrate the site to another platform and get everything 
going, but otherwise it mostly smooth sailing.

Ken have done  the work of keeping it running. I've just done the files 
on FTP and the website.

I just TightVNC to access the images which run a VNC server. We don't 
upgrade. Most stuff done quickly is done by Ken. Debuggin is either 
through VNC or by downloading the images and running them locally.
