A new life, a new (web) home!

I am very glad to announce that I am done for good with the obligations that were devouring hours (or even days) of my everyday time. And I like it!. This (positive) change shall be reflected in my online presence too. For quite a long time I was longing to find some time to spare on deploying my own website/blog; but time was a leisure. Now that my life is back in it’s normal mode, I have begun the process of doing new things, and finally finishing all the unfinished tasks, and this site is one of them.

The outline of the plan is this: re-shape my company’s workflow, services, identity and re-design it’s website, and also design and deploy this very site. I have decided to opt out of the hosting business (too much of a hassle for so little profit), so I had to find a new home for my websites. This new home would be the host for this site, my company’s website as well as future websites and/or services I shall deploy.

After doing some research into the market field of web hosting globally (not only in Greece), I decided to go with (mt) Media Temple. The offer sounded superb: 100GB of storage, 1TB of traffic, RoR support (in a container), SSH access, grid infrastructure (eliminating the disadvantages of shared hosting) and other features, all for almost 150 euros per year? I’m in! This is the first site I have moved into MediaTemple, which by now (only some hours after the account has been activated) seems to run smoothly. A more detailed article about moving into MediaTemple will follow shortly (in the next couple of days hopefully).

So, my dear visitors, please bare with me while I am in the process of materializing my inner thoughts into this website. I have decided to make incremental changes to it, instead of just waiting for the final edition to publish, so you may be witnessing changes happening (hopefully) quite often. I am confident that the final version will be good enough.

Take care,
Panagiotis
