May is almost over, I know. I have a huge list of things to accomplish that keeps piling up in my head, and I’m starting to get a big list of client work to work on as well. There are some really important things I need to do but they always get pushed aside by something: Too busy with Project XYZ, too tired from working on Project XYZ, LOST is on TV, etc.
So with season finales, and June just around the corner, I think that some of my goals are still achievable in May if I really work at them. Read the rest of this entry »

My in-laws are just wrapping up building their home. We moved them in just this past weekend. It’s a really nice house as it stands right now, but there are so many tiny finishing touches to complete yet. Lights are missing, wall plug plates are missing, blinds are missing, missing some trim here, some paint there. Otherwise the house is completely livable, and they have contractors running about during the day trying to complete these final items.
During the build, I remember talking with my mother-in-law, and she had this dream and vision on how she wanted her house to be. She planned it down to the last detail. We were talking about some of her plans, and how the contractors missed some things, or failed to follow the plans for others. To me, this all sounded exactly the same as what I was going through with a website I was working on, except I was the contractor.

I feel like a guy who just traded in his Civic for a Porsche.
I mean, my old host wasn’t bad. It was economical, and it did the job. I was using this host for about four years. Most of that was on a free contract. Can’t really complain with that. Once my free promotion ran out, and I began paying for my hosting, I decided that it was worth looking around at my options.
Media Temple is where I ended up. A little late to the game I guess (almost everyone I know is using Media Temple), but that’s ok. Can’t beat free.
