Blag

Well.

Finally got around to actually constructing my website and banished all the lorem ipsum and stock placeholder images. 95% of pages have actual content on them too

It looks quite similar to the old ‘under construction’ site, but with a few artifacts as a result of its conversion to PHP and the use of a CMS.

There’s a few rough corners left – 3 pages missing content, and bugs in the LHS pane and horizontal navigation bar but otherwise all is good. The blog and wiki will also slowly start to be tied into the main website, instead of being separate entities, but due to the major design differences I doubt they will eve be completely unified.

Still can’t think of something appropriate to put on the home page though -.-

Anyone who suggests porn will be shot…

Now that that’s over, the blog updates should resume as normal. Well not one every 3 weeks anyway.

Blag moved sometime in the past 7 days… betcha didn’t know when

Ok, it was last night, and it took all of about 4 minutes to transition a blog, coupla files and a few databases over. And the DNS propogated incredibly quickly too

So… Blag is now in the ‘Telecom Center’ in LA, California.

*Correction to previous post, Liquid Web is in Michigan, not Chicago

*Blag is moving again. From the Liquid Web datacenter in rural Chicago to the Telecom Center in LA California.

Same domain name and URL  – just a different server though.

Los Angeles is much faster for Asia Pacific visitors. That and the fact I get a lifetime 70% discount for moving

US visitors can suck it up – they start whinging as soon as latency goes above 50ms which is insignifcant compared to the 400-650ms required to get to Middle Eastern countries and the Indian region. As for Europe… Chicago or Los Angeles makes no difference to them.

Speaking of latency, I figured out why Unwired WiFi hotpots are so shit in general… more to come on that later.

*May incur 24 hours downtime.
