It’s been about 7 or 8 months since we picked up a MacBook for Christine, as an early Christmas gift. Seeing how easy the transition was for her inspired me to make the transition myself. I’ve always wanted a Mac, and seeing as how I’m a “designer” or “coder” or whatever you want to call [...]

The Importance of Backing Up Your Site
July 25th, 2008
No Comments
Working for a fairly large webhost, I often see people who got “hacked”, and their websites destroyed. I often laugh, because people don’t often get “hacked”, but often simply have their password guessed, which gives the “hacker” full access to your site, account, and files. 98% of the time, that’s the case. Given, [...]

WordPress 2.6 was released last night/this morning, and is a big improvement. There’s some great new features, and some security patches that were done.

I decided to finally take the plunge, and upgrade to Vista 64-bit just before Christine and I left for our honeymoon. I figured it would be a simple reinstall of Vista, with the 64-bit version, easy enough. I went through the daunting task of backing up everything on my machine, luckily I’ve got a [...]
