Tonite I came across a very welcome surprise- my friend Damien Dunmore, and the ever progressing sounds of Stick3x. Its been a mighty long time since my days at the Casbah and Soma back in San Diego, but getting to hear “life at the backhouse” was music to my ears. Thanks D- its been too long since we got to hang out proper, but until then… this was a welcome interlude, thanks also to Alexx Thompson for shooting such a dope video.
It was great to get out from behind the monitor today and grab some new Swoons, I also added a few new shots to Urban Intermissions .
I’ve also updated the layout of the galleries, its now the “flip” of the main site, black vs white.
Just an update for the records of my mediatemple experience thus far.
All in all I’ve been quite happy with the move thus far, with the exception of how mediatemple handles spam. they don’t. Well, I should state clearly they do, if you pay them $4.95 a month. Ever since signing up spam has started to fill my inbox, it is not out of hand but I see that it is slowly increasing to an average of 10 emails a day now. I find it hard to believe they are not including spam assassin in their packages.
I do not feel that I should be required to pay for spam protection, and in the last month I’ve withdrawn a number of recommendations to peers because of this issue. If however, they want to fork over the $4.95 a month to pay for it, then more power to them.
$4.95 per month seems ridiculous to me as its over half the price of the monthly $7.95 plan. Anyhoo to each his own… Its the only major downside to their plan for me (apart from the 5 mysql database limit, which should be unlimited).
