Downtime :: transferring webhosts and domain registrars

The site was down for a week as I was switching web hosts. Took longer than expected to get it mostly sorted. The Drupal installation is pretty easy to switch to a new host but there may still be a few bugs to work out...

Dreamhost has these crazy rebates... up to $97 off for a year's hosting plan. And gigs of space and bandwith.

We'll see in the next year if the saving in price is worth the level of service. At this point in the game it seems that all web hosting services are pretty much the same.

Update :: Site list

Added a new site list that contains an index of places on this website with an image thumbnail and brief description.

Update :: Castles in Spain gmap

I uploaded a few more images of sites in Spain and created a gmap for the castles there now that google earth has better imagery. I also better organized the Spain image galleries.

Castles in Spain

Not every castle is on the map yet, mainly because I can't remember where some of them were. But with the improved imagery you can actually see the outlines of the walls and structures. You can even trace the path of the Camino - do the camino from the comfort of your home online!

Update :: Pohnpei emplacement gallery

My friend Joe Genz spent a year doing "research" in the Marshall Islands. He took a trip to Pohnpei Island in the Carolines and snapped a few images of a WWII Japanese gun emplacement there. The cannons are intact and the whole area is surrounded by flowers. Coastal fortifications in Paradise!
