I got bored of the old domain name, so I figured I’d get a vanity domain for my blog, vanity you say, how does RWVHP.COM have anything to do with my name. Well Vincent.com is already registered, VincentPalmer.com is also already registered so I thought, I know I’ll get a small(ish) domain name that means something to me in some way, So I picked my initials R(obert) W(illiam) V(incent) H(anley) P(almer). Yes, yes, I know, my father didn’t know when to stop with the names.
How onto the host part, the old blog was hosted on a server I was sysadmin of, but the company that was running it recently decided to shut it doors so I was in need of a new host so this blog is hosted on its very own slice at slicehost, nice to see theres currently no waiting list, I hit order and this slice was being built, very impressive.
So on with the party, what have I been upto recently
