December 09, 2003After the moves are over, and the kitty's gone...Wow, what a busy and strange few weeks it's been since I last posted on here. I finally decided that I wasn't getting a great web hosting deal anymore with OLM and purchased a dedicated server with ServerMatrix.com. OLM's price just weren't competitive anymore..at all. They still wanted to charge me over $100 for 50gb of monthly bandwidth, and a measly 4gb drive. Crazy. My new dedicated box has a terabyte (yes, that's 1000 gigabytes) of monthly bandwidth and a 40GB drive. It's a beast and it's been nothing but PERFECT since it was set up. They're now my web hosting company of choice. So, the first site I moved over to the new server was this site, a few weeks ago. Everything went pretty smooth, so I next moved CustomTacos over. It also went fairly smooth, with only minor hiccups with my premium user's email accounts. Next, I finally got my new CustomTacos design up and running. Here's the old site compared to the new site:  Pretty big change. I also made some new desktop wallpapers and some other cool new stuff for the site. My users seem very pleased, which makes me happy.
Work is back to normal now, which is great. In fact, if I had to guess, I'd say that our call volume might even be down from what it was before the big hardware and OS X switch. I was hoping this would be the case, since OS X tends to have less problems overall than 9. So, Christmas is coming up and I have not done very much shopping. Anything I've done so far I've done online. I love shopping from the convenience of my house. :) By the way, I moved Olivia's site over to my new server two nights ago, so she doesn't have to pay for her hosting anymore. Yay progress! Oh, I just got a phone call from my coworker who found our kitten a home and said she talked to the lady who we gave the cat to today and she has named her "Lovey". How fitting. :) Posted by Jeff at December 9, 2003 10:23 AMComments
Lovey, huh? I guess that fits :) And I still can't log into MT :( Posted by: Olivia at December 9, 2003 11:35 AMHow did you get those pictures of the kitty to be so clear? I can't take good shots of my kitties with flash b/c it makes their eyes glow. Posted by: Lauren at December 9, 2003 01:41 PMYeh, somebody has a really nice camera... http://www.oliviasworld.net/MT-archives/000093.shtml :) Posted by: The Author at December 9, 2003 01:47 PMThat picture was taken in a well lit bathroom and I doubt the flash went off. Posted by: Olivia at December 9, 2003 05:55 PMYou could submit that one to a magazine or something. I'll have to use our bathroom for our kitties next photo shoot..... :) Posted by: Lauren at December 10, 2003 08:10 AMPost a comment

So, I guess most of you heard about us finding that kitten two Fridays ago. Luckily (I think), we found a good home for little "squeeker" yesterday. My coworker's mother had a friend who was looking for a kitten. So, we somehow got in communication with each other and decided to meet at the Regency Square Mall parking lot last night to make the exchange. I knew it was going to be sad. It's tough NOT to get attached to such a sweet little animal after caring for her for a week and a half. She was so sweet and we're really going to miss her.
