Major Server Upgrade

It's about bloody time ... My server has finally been upgraded from the 7-year old 350MHz PII. Its served me well, but it has had better days. I have had this 1.4GHz Athlon box sitting around (my bro's old PC) for a while, and had started setting it up several months ago, but I now finally finished the transition. It was prompted by my old server's hard drive running out of space so I stopped by Best Buy and picked up a new 160GB 7200RPM hard rive ($42.84 after rebates, a great deal). I was just going to add the new HD into the old server, but I thought I might as well just install the new HD into the new(er) box. The upgrade took a while but went without a hitch. Once I had the old OS copied over to the new HD all I had to do was to recompile my kernel with the new server's hardware.

New Writing: Digital Theft

I was going to make this into a Blog post, but it turned into a bit more. So I made it into a new writing piece; Digital Theft. It's basically about the difference between real-life theft and digital theft. I then get a bit into the root of the problem; the myth of "Intellectual Property."

Site Redesign

A massive redesign has been released to the world. It's an attempt at a css-based design (and with as little tables as possible) and I'm trying out some things that may or may not work quite right in your browser. But we'll see. Let me know if you have any problems.

In addition to the redesign I've decided to go with an official blogging service [blogger]. This wasn't as painless as it sounds. I've had to streach their system to the limits to get their service to generate the pages I need to fit in my site. But I think I have things working as they should.

I'm still tweaking the site here and there, and working on a banner/logo for myself. So bear with me through this transition, and bring on the feedback.
