Updates II: "Movin' on Up"

I've been mulling over these ideas for some time now, but now thanks in large to that oh so wonderful website lifehacker these dreams may just become a reality.

Now if you weren't aware, lifehacker is a website that just takes tons of useful information from all over, and essentially hands it to you on a silver platter. It's chock full of all kinds of "hacks" or tips, and tricks for many things you come across in everyday life, but especially 'geeky' things, like technology and computers, while searching through their site (which is all I ever do at work nowadays with the exception of reading webcomics) I found some, truly awesome links: "set up and host a blog on your comp", "host your domain w/free apps", and lastly "build a home ftp server"

Now I'm sure you (being the intelligent person you are) can guess what it is I plan to do. Set up a server and host my own domain and blog. Now I realize this is a pretty ambitious goal, especially considering I know next to nothing about anything that's required for this, even html. But I figure that maybe it's better I jump into things right away and learn the ropes by doing instead of roaming through tons of sites and trying to learn the things beforehand, for that way lies path of discouragement. Not to mention the timing is perfect, it's summer, my course is coming to a close in a week or so, and since my mom who had basically took over my desktop computer since I went to college and got a laptop, decided to upgrade, so I happen to have a computer at hand that could definitely act as a server (seeing as I have no other use for it, save to take it apart and put it's internal components to some other use) Also I really want to do this so that I 1 get some better control over my site, but also maybe expand into more than a blog, and all the while learn what to do rather than rely on some web service

So that's my plan for now, rig up that old comp, and see what happens, that's not to say I won't still be here for a while, it won't be set up overnight, and even once it's done it'll be some time before I feel it's ready to be moved. So never fear for I will be here, and I'll make sure to inform you my reader before I make the switch, and leave this site up so that all may know where it now resides...

Thanks again for listening, this has been your host Aemon (brought to you by the evi...good folks at Google) wishing you a good night, and a happy summer.
Join us next time for more of that dull humour you seem to enjoy.
Same site, different day.
