Happy Festivus 2007

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

This holiday extravaganza known to the masses as Festivus is celebrated around the world.  There will be millions upon several billion homes containing tinsel(less) poles,  grievous airing, and of course the feats of strength.I’ve got a lot of problems with you people …

DreamHost (LAMP Love)

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Over the past week I have been migrating my sites to their new home on DreamHost. Kind of strange seeing xBuzz go third party after 10 years hosted on various Linux boxes I have set up. From 24/7 dedicated dial up to cable modem to partial T1… it’s been an adventure of sorts. Linux has came along way since I ran my first installation… Either way, since I’ve moved to Virginia Beach maintaining a server in Richmond has became too much and drives are far to long to perform maintenance outside the scope of SSH. I still have a few domains I need to transfer that are substantially larger in scope so I’ll be working on them over the next couple weekends.

In case you are interested DreamHost offers an excellent hosting plan… Here’s what made me feel more comfortable with the switch:

  • $72/year (Promo Code: UDREAM) regularly $120/year
  • 500GB Storage (Increases 2GB bi-weekly)
  • 5.0TB Data Transfer (Increases 40GB weekly)
  • PHP 5.X
  • MySQL 5.X
  • SSH / FTP
  • Unlimited Domains
  • Unlimited Email Accounts / Forwarding
  • SVN
  • CRONs
  • SSI Support
  • Free Domain Registration
  • Customizable DNS
  • < 1 hour setup

Too many to list…

Needless to say, if you need hosting check them out. Use the promo code (UDREAM) and save 50 bucks.

Health Career Web (Social Networking / Job Board)

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

hcwlogo.jpgOver the past three months my team and I have been hard at work developing our newest website. Health Career Web (http://www.healthcareerweb.com) in the past was simply a skin of the Employment Guide website. The health care industry over the past few years has exploded and the need for nurses and doctors has increased exponentially. We decided that it was time to capitalize on this exciting growth and give the health care community something valuable that until now was unavailable. Health Career Web features the largest niche job board across the United States along with what looks to be the fastest growing social networking site related to the industry. This site has been loaded with a free video center, event listings, medical forums, and much more… In the early hours of Wednesday morning the site was officially released to the public. In less than 24 hours after its initial debut we have had over one hundred new members sign up and a very nice increase in site traffic. Take a look and let me know what you think (http://www.healthcareerweb.com)

Happy Networking!
