I finally got around to registering a domain name, so update your bookmarks (for the few people who have bookmarked things on my site). I actually am set up with a new host as well, NetworkRedux, and so far they have been amazing. AmbitiousLemon has been so good to me, and I still feel like I owe the guy who let me steal so much bandwidth from him for so long. I highly recommend taking a look at AmbitiousLemon if you're looking for a free web host. They do have a few rules, though.
The NetworkRedux server feels a lot faster than any host I've been with yet, and I hope that eventually I'll be able to get some RubyOnRails applications running on FastCGI. Right now I'm using Typo to do blogging, but am still running it on CGI. Now that I have a real blogging system set up, maybe I'll actually post things here more often. I doubt anyone actually reads any of these posts, though, anyway.

I really like your domain name! Your software is great too! Keep up the excellent work, it's pretty amazing that you can do all this while studying too! You rock!
Hi Whitney,
I'm a fellow NetworkRedux user, and recently I've been trying to install Typo, but have not had success. I'm new to the Ruby/Rails arena so I'm really just hacking at it. Would you be willing to share what configuration changes you needed to make to get Typo to work?
Well, Jeff, if you've been checking back over the last 18 days you'll notice that my blog's been down. I just switched over to NetworkRedux's VPS service so now I have it running off of lighttpd. It did take me a long time to figure out how to get everything even working with my own setup. I hope you got things figured out in that time. If not, feel free to ask more specific questions. I will tell you that I was never able to get Typo set up on FastCGI before.
Thank you for Senuti.
Wondering why you are using Typo instead of Wordpress?
Wow... that was cool! Post get's added immediately. Schweet!
Still there is a lot of dev going on with WP. Love to hear why type is better.
I'm using Typo because I'm currently developing with Rails. Typo's great because I've been borrowing some code from them. They've done a lot of great things with the Rails framework and there's no point in reinventing the wheel with some of them. I've heard Word Press is great, but I've yet to use it. There's a lot of development going on with Typo, too.
I'm checked out on a working copy right now, so there are some things that are broken and some things that are new, but it's fun to test software.
So I guess there's no real reason not to use Word Press, but there's no real reason not to use Typo either.
Yes, Whitney, we do read the posts. Well, I do. I was the one who sent you an E-mail, as though you don't get tons of those, about Senuti, and your photography, and the ones you took while here in Minnesota. Keep up the great work.
