Of interest to almost anyone who attempts to access my website: I'll be going hosted soonishly. That is to say, instead of my datas travelling across my miniscule and bravely struggling "144k" iDSL line (remember 56k modems? my DSL line delivers data to you at about half that rate!), they'll be living on a hulking, overpowered machine somewhere in Los Angeles, to be blasted into your browser at approximately the bandwidth of pure sunlight. That is to say, right now.
Most people should notice a considerable speed-up in accessing my eclectic ramblings and amateurish photos. With the tremendous surfeit of space, I might even be able to start hosting the odd video clip. (Oooh! How 2003!)
The transition will be happening slowly. It turns out that my website is a brain-smashing 7 GB in size (go look at what I have, and you'll see why it's so brain-smashing -- it's not like I've got that much). Suffice to say that transferring that data via my little 1/2 56k modem will be slow and painful. I'm going to investigate burning the whole thing onto a slew of CDs and sneaking into an unsuspecting coffee shop to upload it, or something. Pity I can't just send the CDs down to LA, that'd probably be a lot faster.
