Well, I had a post I started writing just after Christmas, but never finished it. I think I will just start over with this new post. What's new in the land of wyldrob?
There are a few things. I am no longer working on second shift. Now I am on first. It has taken some getting used to this. As many of you know I was in the habit of staying up really late most of the time. Ever since this move to first shift, I no longer do that. I couldn't tell you the last time I was up past Midnight. Certain people who shall remain nameless have even poked fun at me for being in bed at 9 PM. Well, I know my limits. I cannot function on little sleep, so there.
I recently acquired a new server as well. It's a pretty peppy machine. So far I like it, but it did take me a little while to get some bugs worked out of it. But it's up & running now. Now, I just need a server rack to put all this stuff in.
I am contemplating moving my web server into VMware. I am not sure how difficult it would be, nor do I know if it would slow things down or speed them up. I would hope that it would speed them up. I do know that no more traffic than I have, I shouldn't have problems with it. I just have to consider the options. I am also fairly certain there are tools that will migrate my current server into VMware. I have no experience with these utilities, but that doesn't mean I cannot learn.
How many people have ever used GIMP? I downloaded it today and have been toying with it. It's a pretty powerful program. I am still learning what all it can do. I have created a handful of new images with it already. I am going to make some more for this site. Several of the ones on here have been here for close to ten years. Ten years, damn that is a long time! It's hard to believe that this site is over 10 years old.
That's right ladies and gentlemen, I started my first website back in 1997. It has come a long way since then. A few of you might even remember where it all started, Geocities. From there it went to Tripod, and now it's on my own server with my own domain name. Of course most of the content has changed several times. Most recently, last quarter I did a site redesign. I've heard lots of positive comments about it as well. I think everything is settled and working correctly. If you notice something, just drop me a line.
