New Host Hotness

I’ve changed hosts and now the site is running so much faster.  I moved to an actual Apache server (instead of the Microsoft one) in order to help learn Ruby, PHP and be able to use a Subversion server.

I’ll be moving all my WordPress and vBulletin over to this new host so please bear with me.

One of the Best sites I’ve ever seen

I was taking a break from programming tonight and doing my regular “Stumbling” around the net (using the Firefox extension, Stumbler, from Stumbleupon.com). I came across this website that absolutely blew me away. It’s all done using a custom AJAX framework and has a great layout. What really struck me was the ease of how to navigate the site. It really doesn’t look like a website at all. There’s a sidebar, a tabbed interface and no postbacks.

There’s also a great icon library search that’s available to search for icons based on keywords. I was trying to build something like this for a client and didn’t get to finish it due to time constraints. It looks great and I hope that he comes out with the framework on how to build this.
