I have a personal website that I rarely update. Heck, I use LJ more often than I update my personal site. Because of this… and because the name lilbrownboy.com just isn’t who I am anymore, I’m ditching it. Well sorta… I do host a cool character sheet generator used by a lot of different people so I can’t just let the site die. Instead, I’m going to move the site to a new domain…
Introducing… lalato.com (don’t bother going there as it’s a blank page right now). I know what you’re thinking… how creative. Lalato is my childhood nickname. Heck, my family still calls me that. I wracked my brain trying to think up something that included “sam” in the name, but everything I came up with was already taken (by the way, my favorites were flotsam.com, jetsam.com and samizdat.com, but alas they were all taken).
Over the course of the next several weeks I’ll be moving the important bits of my website over to the new domain. I hope that this’ll be the push I need to finally learn a bit more CSS, javascript, php and mysql. I know just enough to make me dangerous. Normally that would be a good thing, but when it comes to this sort of stuff, dangerous == bad.
Part of the reason for the change too is that my website host, charges way, way way too much for what I get. I found a great little host that will fill my needs for about a quarter of the cost. I hope that doesn’t mean the service will be lacking, but my website is fairly low maintenance so it shouldn’t be that big a deal.
This also means that the nautalist is moving too. I’ll copy all of your e-mail address from the old nautalist@lists.lilbrownboy.com to the new one at nautalist@lalato.com. If you are currently on the nautalist and don’t wish to remain on the nautalist, please let me know so I can take this opportunity to remove you. If you are not on the nautalist or know someone that should be on the nautalist, please let me know so I can take this opportunity to add you or the someone.
That’s all for now…
