Blog: I’m moving all my sites over to a mac mini server

February 14th, 2010

Over the weekend I spent some time moving all (my live websites) over to my mac mini running Mac OS X Server. I’m replacing a GoDaddy VPS not because I wasn’t happy with it but just for a change a more control. The mini is located at home and this is a proof of concept for me. I’m using DynDNS.com to update the DNS records every time my dynamic IP address changes.

So far these are the domains I’m hosting at home:

roberthodgen.com
hodgen.me (all subdomains like robert.hodgen.me, apps.hodgen.me, etc.)
osx411.com
swapitapp.com

If I create any new websites I’ll probably add them to the mac mini.

Blog: New Blog Design

February 12th, 2010

A while ago I made a portfolio that I put up on roberthodgen.com, I liked the design a lot, seeing as how its clean, so I wanted to adapt that to a WordPress them for my blog. And that’s exactly what I spent some time on yesterday and today.

New Blog Design

I wanted to have a common theme between the two website (my portfolio and this blog) and I think I’ve achieved that with this new WordPress theme.
