New Servers

I did not make a post last night, so maybe I will make two today. Actually I did make one on the baby blog, but it is gone, because it was stored on the old database for testing purposes. Last night I migrated all my websites from vortechosting.com, a service me and my old roommate Steve used, to 1and1.com. This is a whole lot cheaper, something like $3 a month. And for my needs as far as personal webistes it should be sufficient. Atleast until I make a full transition to ruby. I guess I should say atleast until pre-packadged solutions stop coming out of php, like this wonderful wordpress blog engine.

Speaking of WordPress my next mini-project is going to be setting up a Pool Section on the baby blog. If it makes sense to make my final project into a wordpress plugin, I will release it through protoh.com. That is if I can convince Tyler to let me release php code from a “ruby shop”. Tyler just released a mini project GooMap. For anyone looking into using Google Maps on there website, this abstracts some of the geocoding, coordinate mapping, and display logic out for you. It is still in the early stages, but it is coming along.

Well I have a lot to get done today. Mow the lawn do some gardening, get the garage ready for the infamous wall, and clean out the office to get it ready to move to the garage. On top of that I am going to dinner with some friends, so I have to do all that and get cleaned up. What a day.
