Tommy — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:00:09 +0000

I am not that creative… I don’t use Photoshop well… I rarely create something with gloss… But I don’t have a HUGE budget, either!

Tommy — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:17:01 +0000

I have been using Dreamhost as my main hosting provider for over since the fall of 2006. This was shortly after they had some major outages. The problems were fixed and they were very transparent about the issues. Doesn’t that seem risky? Well ok, maybe. But I planned to move a couple domains over to Dreamhost, see [...]
