Engines to power. Turbines to speed. I always wanted to say that.

By now, you have probably figured out that “we’re not in Kansas anymore”. Considering how many WordPress installations I’ve set up and configured for others, it was more than a little ironic that I stubbornly clung to my “original” web site. In the process, I’ve also switched from Apache to IIS 7.5. Apache will always have a fond place in my heart; but it was definitely time to move on. Every reason single reason that made it the web server of choice back in 2003 is no longer valid; especially since there still isn’t an official 64-bit version for Windows. It was past time to change. And, now that everything is up and running, I am glad that I did.

I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do with the photographs. The new home construction photos are, most likely, permanently offline. We love our home; but its “new house” days ended a long time ago. But, even though we’ve lived here for a while, will always be the “big house on the hill” that we dreamed about in olden times. I do plan on finding someplace to put the photo of me standing next to the SOLD sign. Most of the other photos were pictures of the “kids”. We will certainly keep them around for ourselves. But, now that they are older, it’s probably better to use more recent photographs. Everyone was as kid once; but, as time passes, some pictures aren’t as cute anymore (at least to the subjects).

I don’t know how often I will post. But I definitely will make updates more frequently than I did to the old site. So, as they say before fights in the UFC, here we go!
