New Server!

February 8th 2005

I’ve moved this site to a brand new server! I have been annoyed and frustrated with the OCF server for too long; it was slow, didn’t have much space, and didn’t even have updated server software most of the time. But it was free. It’s true that you get what you pay for.

I’ve moved to the Websensei Hosting Alliance, which has a dedicated box with lots of space, lots of bandwidth, lots of software, and a lot of power for not a lot of money. It’s a great deal, but it is a bit exclusive, catering to designers and artists. Somehow I’m considered that, beats me why… ;-)

Speaking of design, you might notice the color red. I thought maybe a little change here and there would serve to mark the upgrade in speed. So, enjoy the minute color difference.

I’ve also upgraded to a WordPress 1.5 beta. Since I don’t really care if it breaks and goes down, I’ll ignore their warning not to use it for production blogs. But I am doing a service in testing it, so if you see any bugs, please feel free to let me know. Another technical difference you might notice is that the domain name actually works now; it’s no longer just a redirect! You can now use trisweb.com for everything, including my new e-mail address that you can probably guess.

So, quite a few cool and interesting changes. Hopefully you notice a big improvement in speed. I can already feel its blazing fast power… blazing… and stuff… with the red background… which stands for “speedified.” Alright, I’ve been watching too many strong bad e-mails.

    Wow, much faster! I was wondering when you were going to upgrade. I recently switched hosts as well and have been marginally satisfied, though mostly due to DNS redirection problems. I get 2.4 GB, 120GB bandwidth, and a bunch of other stuff for $9.95/month. Not too bad. What are you going to do with all that extra space? haha

    I love the speed change, but I still think your blue theme looked better. :) You also need to make all those pretty-looking links up in the corner actually go somewhere. lol ;)

    Yeah, I think the blue did look better. I’ll see if any other colors look better. Maybe a green or something, or some kind of photo watermark background… we’ll see.

    I never have time to work on my personal site anymore. Just moving it used time I didn’t really have and should have spent on something else. So, when I get time, you might see some actual pages. :)
