I know it is politically correct to say, “Happy Holidays,” however I stand by the fact that Christmas is a government holiday and is mostly a commercial holiday to me anyway. So with that, I hope everyone properly stimulated the economy today and got all sorts of fun toys.
I wish your holiday season to be a happy and safe one. Full of good food and fun times.

When I decided to try blogging again, it started as mostly an experiment in getting to know WordPress. To that end, I did not put alot of time or effort into thing like picking a domain name or styling the site. Mostly it just seemed a good use for the .name domain I had been holding onto for a couple years. Over the last few months, while I haven’t blogged a whole bunch, I do feel as if I would like to grow beyond a personal brand and perhaps try taking it a bit more seriously.

In all of my new server craze, I’ve come to have a need to be able to connect to it from where ever I am. Initially I thought that the best solution for this was to just use the DynDNS.com free service. It does exactly what I need with three exceptions.
Now, most of these are either easily overcome or downright nit-picky. #2 and #3 could be easily overcome with a script that updates the IP address periodically. However if I’m going to need a script for this, I might as well go to the next step and use a solution that let’s me take care of #1 as well. Enter SliceHost.
