recently i made the switch from my cheap inexpensive shared host to a VPS at ahp hosting. it was a little daunting at first, never having been on anything but shared hosting, and never having had to manage a CF server (other than my own dev box). but the feeling of having complete control over the server has been a very welcome relief over the headaches that frequently accompany shared hosting.

while i was on the inexpensive host, i wasn't quite confident about the uptime. hey, it was a good deal for the price, but realistically... it wasn't something that i felt that i could count on. so i chose to use cfblog.com, an external solution for my blog. again, given the circumstances, that was a great option for me at the time. but now that i've got a server that i've got a bit more faith in, i figured it was time to run my own blog. as of now, my old blog has been effectively end-of-life'd. *sniffle* there are still a number of old entries (and comments) that i need to port over. hopefully that will be done in the near future. i do want to take this opportunity to say thanks to jon clausen for all of his hard work on cfblog and all of his assistance while i was there.

moving forward, this is the new improved blog (running ray's blogCFC). i've got a few entries planned about learning model-glue, building my first flex app, and continuing to grasp various OO concepts. stick around.

oh, and i haven't done any extensive browser testing on the new design. if it's breaking in your browser of choice, please leave a comment below and let me know what's up (and what browser/OS you're on).

oh... and sorry for the clogging up coldfusionbloggers with the new rss
