About three years, I thought it would be helpful for me to setup and Internet server at home. The idea of housing all of my content in a spare bedroom gave me some sense of control. All the content, music, photos and video right next to me in a few steps.
That was never an easy task. Besides paying Sprint $10 per month, Directnic another $120 per year and plenty of dollars and time caring for an old Mac G5 just became too much of hassle.
Over the past several weeks, I’ve finally managed to move all the services out to the cloud on the Internet. Hosting has become too cheap and highly dependable now and it’s something less I have to worry about. Saves me a few dollars too.
After several frustrating outages though and moving across gigs of info, the idav.com, davidcate.com and davidcate.net domains are now comfortably hosted in the nebulous cloud with hosting paid up for the year. I’m even thinking of paying far forward into the future to let this digital destination serve as my virtual headstone in the event of an unexpected departure.
Now that the technical move is out of the way, I’ll just have to remember to back this material up regularly now to satisfy my fear of disaster, but it’s back to the regular updates and thanks for your patience. I’m appreciative of all of those who took the time to say they missed me. Much love.
