Here we go again. Almost 2011. The site has had some major changes again. I am no longer running on one VPS. The company that originally hosted the VPS was sold, the new company did not seem to care about over-selling their space. My VPS kept crashing due to no physical disk space available. My site was using less than 5GB of the 20GB my plan was supposed to include. So I moved. I am now running on not one, but two VPS’. [...]

Over the last few days I started digging into how to optimize my VPS and WP Blog for speed. I am normally a MS guy, I have been supporting MS Windows and IIS at work for more then 10 years. Optimizing the OS and IIS for speed comes pretty easily, on Windows. I don’t have a lot of experience with Linux. So I started out by trying to map the different components. OS – Linux Kernel Apache PHP WP MySQL For the OS [...]

Ok… So I downloaded a new app on my Pre that should let me update my Blog. So far so good.  It can log in, and pull down my entries.  Now lets see if it can submit entries. And with pictures too..  Just some random pictures of Joshua’s soccer cone spiders that he made after a practice: BTW, it is called Poster.  It is in the App Catalog, and here is their site.

Imagine that… I am actually updating again. Well, I think the other project, cooptree.com is dead for now. I have not heard from the developer since before Thanksgiving, it is like he fell off the face of the planet. Looking over the forums at TNG it looks like the Joomla plugin developers have made some headway. It almost has all of the issues resolved that I wanted to have working. If they keep going I may just implement it here and forget about [...]

Few steps forward… few steps back. Let’s review, list from a while back \ and updates: 1.) Get a decent theme for WP. Done. I thought. I found a cool theme. Installed it… tweaked the mess out of it… and I like it… but… according to here it sucks. So, I may be looking for a new one soon. I think I am going to live with this one for now, and move on. I will re-visit this after the rest is done. [...]

Well… It has been a long time in the works.   Several years, but I have never really been good at keeping a blog. My Gallery site is finally up and running, and is no longer hosted by me.  It is now on Smugmug.  I have played and toyed and tweaked, and I think I am done.  So, for now here is what I need to do:   1.) Get a decent theme for WP. 2.) Customize the theme with my localhub branding… 3.) [...]

Ok… here we go again.  Moved from Omnis hosting to TMDHosting because Omnis’ idea of unlimited is restricted to average user.  TMDHosting decides to change their TOS 45 days after I signed up, to place gallery sites in violation, and to limit their definition of unlimited to average user.  Their sales team assured me, prior to signing up, that gallery sites were ok, and unlimited was only defined by their 175000 max inode limit.  Well… I guess that is my fault for not [...]
