Why You Should Host with Dreamhost too
Mar 16th, 2009 | No Comments
I’ve been using Dreamhost for over 4 years now, and even though they’ve had their ups and downs in the past, I strongly believe that they are the best in their category, reliable and inexpensive hosting. After reading so many horror studies of awful customer support, bad service and unreliable servers with other Hosts (HostGator, BlueHost, I’m thinking of you!) I think I’ve been really lucky to have Dreamhost as my host. I’ve survived the time I hit the front page of Digg and the couple times I’ve gotten Stumbled-upon; their servers are very robust. I also enjoy...

I’ve been working on a couple of web projects lately and I feel quite proud of them so far. I want to start actively blogging and producing content again, and perhaps monetizing (read: make money) when and if the sites attract enough traffic. The first one, which I started about a month ago, was finished last nigh t (or early morning shall I say?). I was adjusting the theme, learning about Wordpress’s custom fields, and finally adding content. Without further ado, introducing: Julian Present Trailers. I love movie trailers, I hate when I miss them when I go to the movies. The problem...

Why aren’t we seeing hybrid hard drives?
Feb 27th, 2009 | No Comments
I’ve been seriously considering replacing my MacBook’s regular spinning hard drive with a fancy new SSD drive, then sticking an external case to the old 320 GB hard drive and using it as external storage. I can get away with just 32 GB on the SSD drive, more than enough for the OS and all my apps, and I would put all the other space-taking media on the spinning drive. Not a bad idea, seeing as I travel a lot with my laptop, but why isn’t the whole concept of having two drives in computers now a days, a spinning and a solid-state drive, a standard? Perhaps a hybrid SSD/Spinning...

Redesign Explained
Feb 12th, 2009 | No Comments
As you can see if you are an old blog visitor, I’ve changed the appearance of things around here. This time, I didn’t create my own theme, I went the classic “buy a premium theme” route, and I’m quite happy with the results. My past experience with my creating my last two themes was very helpful; I learned a lot about the inner workings of Wordpress, even though I didn’t create the theme completely from scratch, I went the Sandbox route (who starts any coding project now a days with out some sort of recycled code, anyway?).
