Dedicated Servers Rock

I was downloading a backup this morning from the fairly new dedicated server: Note the 1.5 MB/s downspeed, from a server! Get that with a shared host. I dare you!

Mac Pro – day 6

I love my Mac. His name’s Alfred, in case you were wondering.  You know, like Bruce Wayne’s butler.  And he’s just as awesome, and helpful. I’ve done quiet a bit in the last six days of having a Mac, including doing my first bit of design work on it.  I also learned what applications I [...]

Mac Pro Day!

Switching to Mac – The Journey Continues

We’re now a mere 54 days away from my birthday/Mac Pro Day,  and I’m getting more and more excited. Over the last month, I’ve gotten so reliant on using my iMac at the office, that when I get home, I’m discouraged having to use Windows.  I often press my mouse button down, expecting Expose, and [...]
