I've been working on moving my sites over to my new server over the past few months and finally migrated the last site over yesterday. So far, everything seems to be working except for my Facebook gallery app.

Besides saving money, I now have full control over my server instead of the usual ftp account and chrooted shell. Now I can actually rsync out my site and stage out upgrades. I opted to not host email anymore and moved to Google Apps for email. Its free and the best part is that they handle spam filtering for you.

So I dug around my archives for copies of my old website... Too bad I wasn't able to find any of the pre-2000 copies. Here's a few of the good ones... the 2000 one was actually hacked by my friends. Was supposed to be a rat sticking is head out of a cage instead of me :-). Boy its been a long time. Enjoy and click on the picture to visit the actual site. I didn't make any changes to the sites so some links will be broken.

Thats pretty much it for now folks.

If you're still using this then dump it ASAP. I found out yesterday that it got recalled on May 25th. They found that people using AMO Complete have a higher chance (seven more times to be exact) of contracting an Acanthamoeba eye infection.

My gallery database got corrupted over the weekend. Luckily I had a backup... my provider also moved me to a different server and things are working a lot faster now. Still some bugs (file permissions) but mostly everything works.

Besides that, I just uploaded a bunch of pics so enjoy!

Caught this with manufacter DST 3421 plates when I was in Long Beach. Could be testing drivetrain for the next Accord or some other Honda. I had to exit but I really should have chased it down for some better shots.

Uploaded 5 new albums this weekend. Enjoy.

Stupid spammers have been spamming my gallery comments. Die spammers die.

Tea and honey is delicious!

Must get timing belt and water pump replaced on the CL.

Its 7:30 pm, been up since 5, and I have another 3 hours before I'm home. Well, the day started almost normal. Woke up early and drove towards work but I detoured and took a flight to LA, rented a car and drove some more to work. Currently undoing all of that now but I'm stuck at the terminal waiting for my flight home. Thanks to my ipod, laptop, and verizon, I have something to do while waiting. Nice little adventure but I'm glad I don't have to do it often.

ATV'ng was a blast. Will definitely do it again! Pretty dangerous though. One person had a close call but I am glad no one got seriously hurt. I hope the sun comes out more often over the upcoming weeks so I can get out more...

In other news, I took down viet-model.com and tsyinc.com recently and redirected it to my website :-P. Don't work with them anymore and they're gone now. Getting a good amount of entrances from those domains but I don't really know how or which links. Maybe I'll try to figure that out one of these days. Google Analytics looks pretty nice but I haven't used it too much. Might be better than my buggy ass AW Stats program that I'm using. I think its banned by my ISP but I renamed the script (security through obscurity).

I've finally stopped procrastinating when it comes to posting pictures. Even though I don't take that many pictures these days.

Well, Its been an interesting year so far with many expected and unexpected changes. This year is going way better than last year and I'm very happy. It's been almost one year (Easter weekend) since my incident last year. My life changed a lot but I am happy that I am able to cope with it. That's the only regret I have from last year and besides that, I'd do everything else twice over if I had the chance (almost everything) :-).

I guess its time to grow up... Need to save up more and buy a house/invest/cattle farm or something so I can get more tax shelter. This is going to take some careful thinking and planning.

Besides that, I'm driving with a screw in my tire again. I have to get it fixed today after work and probably start looking for new tires again since these are worn out. This will be my 3rd set on this car.
