Web Hosting

Yesterday I finally got an email from the web hoster that's running the existing North Hollow Farm site. He said they could not comply with my request for PHP and PostgreSQL, so we need to look for another hosting company that will. Thankfully, I had looked into this before and the one that I checked into was WebPipe which uses Linux and now Windows boxes to host sites. They include in their $12.95/mo package SSL support, database, PHP, CGI, and more. This represents a really good value. All we really need is Apache/PHP/PostgreSQL so we should be able to get this for the $12.95/mo price. There's a wrinkle in the database, though - they want to offer MySQL by default and PostgreSQL for an extra fee. I'm checking with them to see if they can swap out the database server without additional cost. We'll have to see...

Other than that, and laying out a few logic gates - 2-input NOR, SR flip-flop, and reading a book, I haven't accomplished a lot. Oh sure, a few calls from headhunters about positions, but not a lot. I think today I'll spend some time really trying to dig up something to do. Anyway... I think I'll try...
