I don’t know if I’m the last person on the planet to discover this tool, but I’ve discovered the Open Clip Art Library. This searchable repository of free clipart is stocked with almost 7000 public domain pieces of clip art! This is incredibley useful, as you can use the art in your own designs.
I found this site as a result of my work on a banner for the MyWebsiteStinks Secure Portal. Which brings up another topic. My asteemed admins are helping me do some web design right now. We’re creating the MyWebsiteStinks Main Page, and the Secure Portal. These will be the places that people that own sites on the server can go to do various administration tasks. So, stay tuned in the next few months to hear more on that.
OK, that’s the end of this abbreviated blog post.
I’m on a new server now. Actually, it’s been almost 2 months; I’ve just been too busy (read: lazy) to update my blog. I actually own the server, and I’m paying one of my computer science professors to host it for me in his data center (well, it’s a kitchen with a high-speed internet connection and a server rack really
). That brings me to the shameless plug portion of my post:
If anyone wants a website, I have plenty of room on the server for more websites. In fact, I’ve heard that a server slightly less powerful than mine could host around 70 websites rather comfortably. Of course, I’m not going to put that many sites on my server (at least not without a few more upgrades
). Hosting on my server costs just $5/month. The nice thing about my hosting is that as more people join in with the hosting, I use that money to buy more bandwidth for the server. That means that everyone benefits from more people hosting on the server.
Currently, the most popular site being hosted with me is mounty’s corner. This is the only one on the server that is even comming close to using it’s monthly bandwidth allotment. mounty’s corner (capitalization is intentional) is the blog of a good friend of mine. In fact, he’s helping me manage the server. He’s quite the geek, and if you feel the leading, head on over to his site and laugh a little.
Well, that’s all I have for now, and I hope you’ve found this advertis……errr…..post helpful.
