(tumbleweed): rolling by…..

So if you’re reading this, I imagine you’re asking yourself where are the pictures from this last week. Well I had the pictures and they were on my camera. I was just a little behind on getting them uploaded here. Then this weekend, we had a halloween party at the house and someone swiped my camera. Yes, my poor little Canon SD200 is gone. I think I have an idea of who the little scoundrel is that took it, but I don’t have anyway of contacting him. At any rate… I’m a bit at a loss now as to what to do with my site. Maybe I should just change the name to 50prime279.com. I was at 279 days. It’s a very frustrating situation. If anyone has any thoughts or recommendations, feel free to share them.

I switched hosting servers this week so posting is a bit behind

Please pardon the recent technical difficulties with my site. My hosting company decided to move servers on me without giving me notice and so the DNS was pointing to the old server for several days. So, while I was posting my daily images, it was actually being uploaded to an old server. When the changes to the DNS finally went through, the new server was missing the last 7 days of data.

This is a prime example of the difference in blogging software between Moveable Type and WordPress. Wordpress generates pages on the fly, dynamically from the MySQL database and so each page is accessing the latest information from the database. Movable Type on the other hand, rebuilds the entire site each time the author makes a new entry. So the complete site is static on the server and does not access the database each time a visitor requests a page. This is why I’m a fan of WordPress instead. The Movable Type platform, while probably efficient, is an installed application and requires a specific server configuration. WordPress is much easier to install, use, maintain and move.

Anyway, I digress… my images will be reposted and I’ll be caught up here in a day or so. Forgive the sudden barrage of the last 7 days of images that you are about to receive.

Thanks for tuning in!
