Avery’s been using her new tag system since the holidays and loves it. We’re spreading out the books that we bought for her, she needs to earn 5 stickers before she gets another (1 sticker = 1 reading session).What I really like about the system is that it tracks what she’s doing, so after I sync the pen to the … Read More »

I moved servers for this site, again. This morning I just thought, “might as well I have 30 minutes”.
So I rsynced my files over to the (mt) server, setup the config file to look connect to the old server’s db, changed IPs in godaddy, then after church I came home and dumped the db and imported it on my new server, changed the config file to look locally and viola!.
It’s pretty basic and I’ve got it down to a science since I’ve moved this site over 10 times in the last 4 years.
Why did I leave the grid server? There were just too many times the site went down for 2-3 minutes and sometimes was just very slow to respond. Most importantly, the benefits I get from the grid from having my client websites there I was not getting on my blog site. Those benefits being: the ability for the client to manage their site easier.
So, not a big deal but I thought I should post about it since I really needed to blog about something. And if you see any performance boosts, it’s because of the (dv) server change.
aside:
Media Temple’s (dv) plans are great, a little pricey but they’re worth it. Bandwidth and performance are exceptional. They also let you pretty much do anything you want, unlike other VPS hosts.
I constantly think, should I worry about taking a picture right now?.(via Technology is Great, but Are We Forgetting to Live?)

So if Apple loved DRM so much why not use it on their own products? That’s rhetorical since I don’t think they love DRM at all, they just have it available for content producers who want it. The only software that Apple makes (that I know of) is ARD ($300+) and the Final Cut apps ($500).(via Serial … Read More »
