Thomas Kobelsky's Blog

July 29, 2010

Last week was sure packed. It seems like I never have time for myself anymore, but more on that later. Now I want to focus on a great new thing for my website.

Not only are all my extracurricular activities slowly eating away my measly existance on this planet, but I now have a new "toy" to play with.

Before I jump into the awesome, I want to say this: I just can't seem to find time for me, what with the job (oh yea, I got a new job, by the way), travels (oh yea, I was in Alberta this last weekend), festivities (oh yea, the HSBC Celebration of Lights is going on), my contract work with Tensioncore Design Studios (oh yea, I design websites and stuff on the side), and all the people trying to steal my attention away.

Back on track. New Toy.
Ok, so it's not exactly a toy, but I did manage to get a "dot com" domain (http://www.thomaskobelsky.com) and some web-space provided by Tensioncore Web Hosting.
This means I now have access to a SQL database (whereas my VFS web-space did not), and well over 100mbs of web-space (yea, VFS limited me to 100MB). I will still leave my VFS site up until I completely change over all my links, then I'll make my VFS site a simple one-page redirector to my thomaskobelsky.com website.
I've also been working on making a custom Comments script to integrate into my blog (since my last free one seemed to randomly stop working for some reason), as well as a custom blog entry field. Since I didn't have access to a SQL database, it was proving very difficult to accomplish, but I'm sure that I should be able to whip something up fairly quickly (depending on how much time I have for myself) that should fill both those needs.
Since that's about it as of right now, I'm going to call it a day and publish this. I'm going to start changing links and hopefully republish my websites tonight.
