New theme, new logo, new server, new setup…
Oct 27th
As some of you may have notice, my blog have change in every way possible. There is a new theme, new logo, new server and web server setup. Now when it comes to the new setup, I am talking about lighttpd with php-cgi. I’ve been testing this option for a bit and seemed the right one to go with. Lighttpd seems to work quite fine and the speed it’s really good, but there are some issues, it’s quite complicated to configure lighttpd. I mean, the style of configuration is a bit odd, but in general if you worked some time with web servers, you will get it, anyway I did.
The new theme, again is also new and it’s called Mystique and seems a very good option at the moment. It uses jQuery, making the theme and in general the blog look and feel nicer. When it comes to the logo, you will notice a mix between “Robin’s logo” (Batman’s right hand) and a normal text, all done in Adobe Photoshop.
robertalks.com major move from Canada to US.
Feb 18th
As of today I have move the website, domain and blog to a new server. I had too many problems with the dedicated server in Canada, so I decided to get a small VPS only for robertalks.com. I’m using the same OS, just one system is real and the other one is virtual. I have pick a Xen based VPS (virtual private server), because it gives me more access to the system. Now the new VPS is not really strong, has just 256MB of RAM with 10GB of disk space and it runs CentOS 5.2, but its quite OK for my website and blog… I hope.
