last night the server migration for stephenh.net and companyofh.com was completed, which means…
1. no more overloaded shared server hosting! of course, i’m still not on a dedicated box, but this virtual dedicated server setup seems to be more stable and faster thus far.
2. virtual dedicated server means additional application flexibility. one major benefit of this so far is that i now have active caching ability, which means that even with heavy traffic, my server should be able to keep up just fine. less database queries = faster service! sweet.
3. easier development long-term. this doesn’t really benefit you at all, except that i’ll be able to add more features quicker and easier, and hopefully have more time to make them prettier and easier to use. the big news here is that i’m planning a major website design overhaul, which should take place soon, and when it launches i intend to put a shopping cart in place and offer prints and paintings and books for sale. i know, you can hardly contain yourself, but it’s not ready yet. stay tuned.
4. on the negative side, i did decide to do away with the comics portion of my site for white shirt, philosopher. so, right now if you try to pull up stephenh.net/comics it won’t get you anywhere.
anyhow, now that that’s all done, if you notice any other errors popping up, do let me know by leaving a comment or sending me an email to the address at the bottom of the page.
thanks as always for stopping by. here’s a pretty picture for your trouble.

over the next 24-36 hours, i will be working to move the stephenh.net domain into a new server environment, which hopefully will allow for some new features and better overall performance long-term.
with any luck, the transfer will be seamless, with very little if any downtime, but if you try to access the site later today or tomorrow and don’t get through, just check back an hour or two later.
of course, you can always reach me via email if you have any questions… an alternate email not tied to this domain is stephentheh at gmail dot com.
thanks as always for stopping by!

today marks the launch of the brand new design here… somewhat based on the original layout, this is more or less a whole new look. more pretty background, less bulky fonts, thinner/sleeker header area, and an overall smoother ride thanks to the newly engineered aytch/quattro™ suspension engine.
to be honest, i was never all that happy with the previous design - it just wasn’t sleek enough for me. this one is a little more my style… hope you like it. -aytch

if you couldn’t reach this website over the last couple days, it was due to a server/domain migration that is now complete. after accidentally inputting some wrong DNS settings that are now corrected, everything should be back to almost-normal.
i switched the address for the blog from aytch.stephenh.net to stephenh.net/aytch to fix some weirdness, but the downside is some bookmarks will need to be updated.
sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully everything should be status quo from here on out.
