As you may or may not have seen already, there have been a few changes around here. Some have been invisible to you, as they have been on the back end of things, and other have been pretty major. Let’s get to it!

First and foremost, my moblog on Textamerica is gone. What happend is this. In a nut shell, Textamerica has decided to stop have a free moblog for everyone to use, and start charging us all $99 a year for the same service we’ve all been using for free. Fuck that. So, with the looming dealine of having my moblog deleted, I grabbed all of my pics off of there and decided to look for a new moblog host.

At first, I thought about going back to Buzznet, where I had my first moblog. But, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go back to them. So, I looked into Flickr. It’s a great service, but to really take advantage of it, I would need to pay $25 a year. Not as bad as $99, but I am cheap and wanted a free solution. I even looked into moblog.co.uk which is another great service, but I was afraid one again about it not needed my needs. For a free solution, I though of using my Picasa Album BETA account, but then it really hit me. Do I really want to entrust my pictures to another 3rd pary company only to have then screw me and force me to either pay or take my years of pics somewhere else? With that said, the solution was sorta simple.

Not to bore you with software mumbo-jumbo, I am now hosting my own moblog. I found some nice software that intergrates with WordPress, and gets the job done for me. So now I don’t have to worry about someone taking my pictures away since I now host all of my own content. This is especially great since I no longer have a daily/monthly upload limit. There’s also a link in the above tabs in the header to take you directly to the moblog section. Although I should warn people on dial-up…June is very heavy. I uploaded all of my old pics from Textamerica — all 220 of them — so when you open up June’s archive, it’s rather massive. Consider yourself warned. In addtion of have my old Textamerica posts, there’s also a link at the top of the moblog page to my first moblog over at Buzznet.

So right now, the only thing I really don’t host myself is my video blogs. I could actually host them, and may one day. But for now I think I’ll still leave that to a third party.

Onto other news, Jess is going away tomorrow afternoon and probably won’t be back until late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. So, that means the Twevman gets to have the house to himself. That means some serious computer time and gamage. In fact, I just installed the new Prey demo, and am looking forward to playing it tomorrow night.

On the kitten front, they are all doing great. They all have their eyes open and are walking now. In fact, they’re starting to explore a little bit. I’v posted some new pics of them over at the new and improved moblog. –>

That’s about it for now. Sunday night Jess and I usually spend it watching TV together as a nice way to end the weekend together. Plus, since I am opening tomorrow, and she’s leaving around 3pm tomorrow afternoon, this will be the last chance I get to see her until she gets home. See ya later!!
