Loyal readers of canspice.org might notice a small difference around here. I’ve made a small random improvement (Improvement? That’s currently up for debate. Maybe “change” is a better word…) to the site: a random background image for each post. They’re taken from an ever-growing batch of pictures I’ve taken over the last couple of years. A little PHP, a little CSS, and an hour later out pop random images. Enjoy!
Hello again! You’ll probably have noticed that canspice.org was down for the better part of October. This is because of the popularity of an entry I made titled “Requiem For A Duck”. In the first two days of October I served out 6.31GB of traffic. The problem is that I was only allocated 1GB a month. I took the site down so I wouldn’t serve out more bits and bytes and get charged even more than what I’m anticipating (I think around $15).
You’ll notice a lack of functionality right now. That’s because I decided to move away from pMachine and go to WordPress. They’re both fairly similar, but WP seems to have a better community surrounding it. Because I’m just whipping this up fairly quickly, I haven’t enabled commenting or a sidebar or anything other than entries. If you don’t like it, tough. :-)
But wait, that’s not all! During the downtime I decided to move the site as well. Now it’s being hosted with the great help of Geof Morris. Thanks Geof!
