Server Change August 11

Updates Comments Closed

This past week I changed my hosting account with Holdfire to a custom reseller instead of a custom shared. It was a little rough in the beginning, but I got everything worked out without 24 hours of ordering the new account. That's why I love Holdfire so much, they're support is awesome! Plus they're plans are super cheap and plenty of resources. :3

I'm now hosted on this server called dharma with 1GB of space (I'll upgrade if I need to, but I'm only using ~50MB of space right now) and 25GB of bandwidth which is way more than enough for my site. I also get this very fancy control panel like thing (called WHM) that controls all of the accounts in it. It originally didn't have the correct options for it, but Jordan (the mastermind behind Holdfire) fixed that quickly.

The reason I changed over to this new plan was because another-perfect-world.org is expiring in December and I didn't like how all of my add-on domains, subdomains, emails, databases, etc were through this domain I didn't even use any more. With this resell account if I ever buy more domains, I'll be able to keep them all in a separate cPanel configuration. The bottom line was I'm a total organization freak and like my sites separate. :P

In other non-related news, the scrolling wheel on my mighty mouse won't scroll vertically. Back to the apple store I go for my third...

Golden Hour August 6

Photography, Technology Comments Closed

It was Brent who first turned me onto this thing called "Golden Hour". It's the time of day when the sun is no longer an intense white, instead it's a nice orange. It allows photos to be taking in the sunlight without the harsh exposure of normal sunlight. It happens around 6:30-7 in both the morning and night in the summer; I have yet to figure out the time frame in the winter. I thought I'd share with you today some pictures of flowers during this lovely time of day.

Seeing as how I'll be taking photography next year, I was hoping that I could get back into things with the 365 project. So far, it's been working. I've taken a lot more pictures than I have in the past few months. These Golden Hour pictures is the thing that really makes me excited about photography. Let's hope I can get some of these pictures for my class next year.

The only photo that was edited for color was the first. The rest were just resized. :)

Have any of you heard of Golden Hour, and if you have, have you shot during it? I'd love to see some of the pictures you got.
