After several hears calling Dreamhost the home for my website, I've moved the site to HotDrupal.com, a web hosting firm that specializes in Drupal hosting. So far, so good.
My main reasons for the move were:
Dreamhost throttled its web server to the point that my site was no longer able to run without throwing errors on 3/4 of logged-in pageviews, which caused rather horrid problems including causing most of the pages to stop work & menus disappear.
While working on a Drupal project this week which used popup windows to create nodes that were linked via node reference fields, I started running into major stability problems between a variety of modules that were being used, particularly Popups_Reference and Vertical_Tabs.
Over the past two days a number of Drupal developers from around the country converged in the college town of Madison, WI to share & learn. It was good seeing a few people I'd met before and great to meet several others, plus sample some really tasty druplicons :-)
I volunteered to do two presentations and had a good time with both. As promised, here are the slides from the presentations:
I grew up listening to Pearl Jam's Ten, Vs and Vitalogy, with Ten still being one of my favorite albums some twenty years later. I've also watched & loved their MTV Unplugged performance, placing it as one of the best musical performances I've heard bar none.
