More Updates…

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

Few more things have been done to the site. Archives module is now a drop down menu, so it should take up a lot less real estate than the long list of months. Also, I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.0.5. Nothing most people will notice, but enough improvements for the WordPress development team to warrant a release, so figured it would be a good idea for me to upgrade as well. More to come in the coming days, I hope.

New Galleries Up and some minor updates

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

Some who have visited the site may notice a few minor updates and changes. For one thing, I’ve moved most of the right side modules to the left now… Still debating what to add, if anything, to the right side to take their place.

Also, updated the artwork section of my site. Sequential and Digital Artwork sections are now up. Next on my to-do list will be to update the Digital Colouring gallery, which should include the pages I’ve done for the comic book “Chisuji” as well as various pages from manga I read.

More to come, as always!

PowWeb no more.

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

I originally signed up with PowWeb back in 2001. Back then, they were a small web hosting company that offered 200mb of space, 500mb month bandwidth, all for $7.77/month. This was a really good deal back in the day, but later on, I moved over to iPowerWeb, who seemed to be offering a better deal at the time. Only to move back to PowWeb when they started doing frequent upgrades at no extra cost to the customer. Many web hosts require that you pay an upgrade fee if you want to get the same package they’re offering new prospects. I experienced this when I was using Globat for my business website when I wanted to upgrade my package from their “Gigabyte” package to their “Terabyte” package which is their standard package now. At the time, I didn’t think too much of it, until PowWeb started upgrading all their existing clients for no extra charge. PowWeb also had pretty decent online customer service and tech support too. You could post any problems you have on their community forum, or you could simply log on to their IRC channel and ask your questions there. But soon, all things would come to a screeching halt.
