First Day On the Blog, Again

Hello loyal readership. In my never-ending quest to please you, my visitors (and to avoid schoolwork), I have spent a good chunk of the day updating to a newer version of this weblog software. As a part of this upgrade I have moved to hosting on my Power Mac at Brandeis instead of my host in Kansas City, leaving that host basically only doing email, proxy, and some assorted junk. I’m almost at the point where I can dump the $20 a month virtual hosting, and the main reason I’m doing it is because they don’t support PHP 4, the web scripting language I use, and so I can’t run new scripts on their @#&)% servers! So if I were really to do this I’d have to figure out – do I want to host everything here? Or maybe at Maintex? Or somewhere else? Or find someplace to host the DNS so that I can move around? Cause when I go home or wherever for summer I’m gonna lose my Brandeis internet connection, and I don’t want my email, web, and such interrupted. Yet CommuniTech.Net really isn’t doing anything for me anymore…

Sigh. Oh, also, as a result of this upgrade, things are a bit cleaner, I can do better control over posting, but I also lost my admin stuff that I programmed, so for a little while I won’t be able to do admin stuff until I get that cleared up. Also I still have to make sure all of the commenting things are going to work right, and the format is a-okay. And of course I have to switch the site to point here… And maintain an uptime on my computer of something substantially better then 2 days…

And if you aren’t a geek, almost all of the above was completely unintelligible, so I might as well just stop now and go talk to Robin about it.
