Why, yes, I do use dreamhost for all my hosting services

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013

I’ve used dreamhost.com for many years to run the vast “Keith Stattenfield” web empire.  Last I checked, I had about 70 domains hosted there, almost none of which get any appreciable amount of traffic.  For a while I used a VPS for some hosts I was more interested in making sure ran well; as it turned […]

Apparently I’m really bad at blogging

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

Художник in that I seem to get about one or three things posted a year. *sadness* I do post a fair amount of, well, like to Twitter.  You can tell I’m lying on Twitter if it’s exactly 140 characters in length.  Or, if I’m saying something on Twitter. Life, for me, goes on.  I’m still […]
