New blog theme

So… I was bored one night and decided to edit the theme I’m using for this site. The theme is actually a little closer to home for me, since I like most of my computer-related things black or grayscale.

Let me know what you all think! I definitely don’t think that it’s quite done yet, but it’s closer to my liking!

Server Move!

So… I was a little fed up with how much downtime and slowness there was on my old hosting, so I decided to move. If you see this post, then it means that the site is now hosted by HostingPlex. It’s cheaper, faster, and a little easier for me to use. Their support is also much better than anything I got with DreamHost, so you should soon be seeing my referral links from DreamHost go down in a bit.

Anyways - just thought I’d let you all know. :)

Thank you!

I checked my email this morning to be pleasantly surprised… Someone had donated $10 towards this site. I’ll admit I haven’t been here very much in the past month (it’s been a busy month), but I’ll try to keep updating things as I go.

To the donator (you know who you are) - a big thank you!

Sucking up my bandwidth…

So… some jerk ended up slamming my site with downloads for XPize, a program that I offered to mirror for Xpero over at MSFN.org. Over the course of this past weekend alone, someone went through 68GB of bandwidth… that’s not cool.

Yay!!! Halfway done exams

So yes… I’ve been neglecting this site… It seems Dreamhost had a bit of a hiccup with one of their switches a couple of days ago, so if you couldn’t see the site, that’s why.

In the process of looking up that information, I found out some pretty funny information about my hosting. The server that does the PHP is called ‘ritz”, and the server that does my MySQL is called “tramp”. I guess you could say my hosting package should be called “The tramp on the ritz”.

Anyways… I’m halfway done my exams. That’s the main reason why I haven’t written much here lately. I’ve got 8 in total. The 4 so far have been alright - I just need to pass everything to get through this term, and thereby my degree. Wish me luck…
