So last year I picked up a second domain for myself, www.coreytess.net, more of a personal fun site, pics and things from my RC racing and other stuff. When I got that hosting I did not put it on A Small Orange (now my old host). I had recently purchased an unlimited storage and bandwidth package from Dreamhost for my girlfriend’s site, www.lovejessicaalways.com. Because that is an unlimited host, and they are very easy to work with,...

I bit the bullet recently and paid to join a site with some premium themes. The site is Elegant Themes, and for $20 a year you get access to a lot of nice looking themes. They have their own options and most have multiple layout and color options. The themes are very nice looking and well put together, the designer/developer did a great job here, and at $20 for a year, access to all the themes you can want to choose from, and potentially...

I do find it a little funny that as soon as the books come out for 2.0 and 2.2, they drop 2.3 on the community. I haven’t looked at it much, but hopefully it...

So I just upgraded the home PC, I still prefer desktops to laptops, to a new Intel Core i7 setup. I also finally picked up some SATA drives instead of the antiquated IDEs, and a 6GB triple channel kit for RAM. So far I have to say this thing is a monster. It is fast, Vista 64-bit boots in 30 seconds give or take. I’m still working to figure out why my bios says my drives are IDE, but they are running fast so I am not complaining yet....
