As you may have noticed, the url of this site is "www.vagreen.net", but the title is "Dan's Digital Dive". Why is that?
1/7/2010 update: I just reclaimed "dansdigitaldive.com" domain name, and the site will be renamed and redirected within the week. The answer, quite simply is a business idea gone amuck. A gentleman approached me to design him a website and after I produced it in accordance with his guidelines, he disappeared. I promplty removed his domain. All in all, while I lost a few hundred dollars (business license, software & webspace) it was a good learning experience. The website is a useful end to a project gone astray. I renamed the domain to VaGreen.net and I was going to document my attempt at becoming more energy efficient. The web page didn't quite turn out the way I wanted, so I decided on the blog look; and that has worked out well. I still had this URL, so I decided to create a "playground" if you will to test my theories and projects. This site is simply as it sounds; a place for me to play and pass information along that I (not neccessarily you) find useful and informative for my family and friends. I hope you enjoy it as I screw around. From time to time I'll place what I think are some pretty cool links in the "COOL STUFF" menu for everyone to enjoy. The Cool Stuff menu is a menu of current links that I am finding useful/curious about. There will also be a link to a project or two that I am working on. |

Yesterday I signed with a new Server Host company; SiteGround. They had a great introductory offer that just couldn't be beat. They are offering one year of hosting for $20.10. The only downside is their URL costs are 50% higher than Bluehost, my previous host. I have no complaints about Bluehost, it was a simple matter of economics; and in this time of frugleness, I believe it was a wise decision. I'll keep it posted as to how the hosting goes. |

It is that time of year! It is a time to remember why we celebrate Christmas, a time to cherish our family and friends. There is something about Christmas that just brings out the best in people, I don't care if a person is "religious" or not, almost everyone is a pleasure to be around this time of year. I found Facebook, and that is one thing I am thankful for this year. I finally heeded my brother (from another mother) advice and joined up. I'm really glad I did, it allowed me to connect with some of my friends that I have lost contact with over the years and "see" them again. To all my friends, old and new, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, blessed New Year. |

Good afternoon, the redesign of the Knights of Columbus website is pretty much a done deal. I have a few wrinkles to iron out; but it looks pretty good and is now live. The other good news related to this site is: What you are looking at now is also live -- redirect link installed to take the view directly here. |
