codygreen.com has a new home

Well things on this site have been pretty dormant the past month. I was swamped with Finals at the beginning of August then Megan and I went to Colorado for a few days and then down to San Antonio. I have a lot of pictures I need to upload to Flickr but very little time to do it. The problem with taking two weeks of vacation is that you’re swamped when you get back.

I’ve heard several complaints that the front page for codygreen.com takes a long time to load. While the web site is image heavy the pages are optimized as much as they can be. The problem was largely due to the service provider, Lunar Pages, which took forever to pull content off their servers. I was working on a process to try and use JQuery to load the first image and then pull the remaining images on the front page down once the page had loaded when Lunar Pages started having hosting problems for almost two days. I finally had enough and I’ve moved everything to GoDaddy.com. I’ve used GoDaddy for several consulting projects so I figured I would give them a shot with my personal web site. So far I’m very happy with the speed of the servers and the site loads 2/3′s faster than before. I had to upgrade my account to get everything working but I’m not too worried about that; now I can host my Python webapps here.

Well as the new semester begins I hope to start blogging again and my plan is to do more reviews and technical articles about things I use or problems I run into at work. So if you don’t see a new post every few days feel free to post a comment and tell me to get my shit in gear
