xtex.org

I just moved my site over to its new home at mediatemple.   I'm now using shared hosting instead of a dedicated server, so things will be slower than before, but it shouldn't be too bad.

I also ended up redoing the URL back to blog.xtex.org so the old stuff I used to have online could be accessible again. Using the magic of Apache URL rewriting, this should be transparent -- if you try to go to something on 'xtex.org' that doesn't exist, it will just bounce you over to the blog.  Spiffy.

I reduced my monthly cost by about 98%. So. Yah. I'll deal with the speed. :)

I'm in the process of migrating from blogger over to my own server... this is also my testbed for some of the code I will end up using in some of the other sites I develop.

As a result, a lot of stuff here will probably be broken from time to time.  And I don't really have time to develop my own theme for the site, so I'm kind of stealing stuff from other sites I work on. So. Yeah.

Many things are still left to be done, as you can probably tell. I will focus more on this site as soon as I finish up converting another site of mine over to Drupal 6.  This site will soon be moving over to Drupal 7 as soon as the freeze in September hits.

And that menu over there to the left? Yeah. Just ignore that. Most of those menu options don't work.  I'll fix that some day.    more...
