Nice photos. Your home office looks very comfortable and relaxing. But too many computers, don’t you think?

Comment on Installing Simplelog on A Small Orange by Jeff Smith

That’s a good question Geof.

Initially, when this post was written, I was on ASO. I had a few needs for some upcoming projects that ASO couldn’t accommodate, so I decided to purchase a (dv) from MediaTemple.

The reason for the switch was basically that I needed a bit more control over my hosting environment, and ASO, being a shared host, couldn’t give me that. ASO is a great host and for anyone that needs a host for a static site or a PHP driven site, I’d definitely recommend them. However, if you’re going to be hosting a Rails or Django powered site, they may not be the best option. And only because, at least in the case of Rails, you have to run your app using FCGI, which I’ve not always found to be that reliable. I’m much happier running this site using a Mongrel cluster.

I am curious why you posted this about ASO but your site is apparently hosted by MT. I’ve been with both providers – each have their advantages and disadvantages – so I’m intrigued.

Thanks Matt, you’re probably right, well at least until Leopard is released and people have Time Machine at their disposal.

Good to see your backup method published, Jeff. I’m sure you’ll get lots of love from Google for this article.

Thanks Lisa

I’m actually working on a redesign at the moment, but I may hold off until Garrett starts work on Simplelog 3 before it’ll appear here…

How did I miss this? Holy crap is that ever hawt. I switched over to SimpleLog too, just haven’t had time to skin it yet. I love what you’ve done with the place. I’m so jealous.

Jeff, Well written article. I’m not on ASO, but I used most of what you’ve compiled to install Simplelog in my shared environment.

Thanks for taking the time to write this.

I know what you mean Matt. I think all of us that can say that are pretty damn lucky.

Nice, done and done.

You know you’re in the right place when you’re asked questions about where you’d like to be in X years and what your next step is, and your answer is, “Doing what I’m doing now.”

There’s a little bit of ‘smoke and mirrors’ going on here Mike. It’s not always that clean.
