Keri Rand has written a good article that has been published in the Advertiser News, one of the regional papers where I live. She sent out a questionnaire via facebook message to a bunch of people, and I was one who responded. She decided to use my input, and now I’m featured on their website.

I may sound like an absolute tool, but I do like the one quote that was made. They highlighted it in the actual paper printing, but not online. Quote:

“This recession has sort of made me go ‘back to the basics’ (by American standards), and appreciate the simpler things in life a whole lot more. I think it’s also impacted my health positively as well – I cook now instead of buying prepared foods, I exercise more for lack of anything ‘more exciting’ to do. Honestly, I kind of like the new lifestyle I’ve adopted because of it.”

So what does everyone else here think, has the latest economic recession affected you enough to make some lifestyle changes? It is an interesting thing to consider.

Server is now running much faster, if you can’t already tell. The images may still kinda load slow, but that’s not necessarily the fault of the machine! The upgrade actually went as planned, just plugged in the network and power cables, powered her on, and it all worked first shot. On second thought, nothing ever works perfectly like that the very first time, so please contact me if anything strange is found on this server. Let’s hope all is well with it, though!

It’s now pushing 3 GHz with a good hunk of RAM and the newest version of my favorite Linux distribution.

Look for some good blog articles coming soon. 🙂

Ok so the server this website sits on? It’s terrible. 550 MHz. I think 384 Megs of RAM. It’s time for an upgrade, to say the least!

That’s why shortly a new server will be taking this one’s place. A much better server, without such things as a slow processor…

Anyway, expect some downtime this weekend (if you actually follow this blog) so that the server can be replaced.

I have a lot of good ideas for blog entries to write, but I’m really sick and tired of this site taking literally minutes to load.

See you soon!

So yeah, I think that I will use this little corner of webspace as my own. Hopefully the posts won’t be absolute rubbish, either. I found this template somewhere online. I kind of like it, let me know if you like it too, please.

Make sure to check back somewhat often – I’ll update it as often as I can, when time permits. That’ll probably happen more over this coming summer, when I have some interesting things to talk about, and spare time.

Enjoy.
