Month: January 2009

New and improved!

Posted by David – January 29, 2009

I've just finished migrating my web site over from Site5 to Dreamhost.  I've been very happy with Site5, but Dreamhost has a nicer control panel (IMHO) and has, as far as I can tell, much better Ruby on Rails support -- they support Passenger, which makes deploying Rails applications a lot easier.

If you're seeing this post, then you're seeing my blog in its new home.  Be sure to subscribe to the updated feed!  :)

  • @Scobleizer One big thing you overlook in your video advocacy - without captions, it's not accessible to everyone. It's a big issue for me. #

  • retweet @shanselman: Best Windows Hotkey you've forgotten or don't use? Windows-T to focus on the taskbar and arrows to move around. #
  • Trying out Windows 7. There are a few things that feel like rough edges still, but on the whole I am very impressed so far. #
