RSS FeedI’m all set. This next Saturday (July 25th, 2009), I will be moving my new web server from the “staging area” (read: my bedroom) to the data center in Amsterdam. Sunday (July 26th, 2009) the old server in Canada will be powered down and dismantled.
Aside from departing from the server in Canada, I will also be departing from Xoops (the CMS that I’ve been using for 2 years now). I’ve decided to write my own website code, for a couple of reasons: security, speed and size (also related to speed I guess…).
The more code you have, the slower a site is, and the more can go wrong. Xoops is a very large CMS, with a lot of functionality (most of which I don’t use). If I write a minimalistic CMS myself, with just the things that I use; it should - in theory - make the site smaller, faster and more secure.
So… this Saturday my server will go online, but my website will be offline for a while until I’ve made a basic blog module.
Wish me luck!
