Well, with most of the things that I start on a seemingly small note always end up on a major overhaul. A perfect recent example: a slightly leaky kitchen faucet wand turned into a full kitchen sink and faucet replacement complete with new under-sink plumbing. Ahh good ol’ ADD.

That was sooooo blog 1.0

Same goes for the site. What started out as a trying to add my exchange account to my new Macbook Pro turned into a new hosting plan and a new blog. The old blog wasn’t really focused. Random and illegible posts. Ugh. Plus my buddy who was supposed to co-post with me kinda fell of the planet.

So, here we are. New blog, new focus. Hopefully I can stick to my guns on this one and keep the posting rolling. I have a plan to mainly focus on my development projects. a pseudo project diary and coding assistance site. I spend a lot of time coding in an area that I can’t find a lot of solutions for (through goog’lin) so when I finally get something working  I want to post it in hopes that it’ll help someone else. That’s not to say that I still won’t post about all those other things that I love: cars, gadgets, electronic pr0n, photography, whatevs. I definitely have to say though, when you decide to create a new blog, thinking of a name is a bitch. It’s going to stick with you for the rest of your blogging life (at least until I have another ADD moment and create my blog version 3).

PS In case you’re wondering how I went from setting up email to a new blog:
New with Snow Leopard is the ability to hook up email to exchange servers. I have a hosted exchange account with Sherweb , an account that I use with my custom domain and means that I can access it through my iPhone, webmail and all my outlook clients on my pcs and of course Main on my macs. Last time I checked you can’t use a custom domain on gmail, hotmail, etc.
In order to setup the email on the Mac, I needed to add a subdomain A record on my dns called ‘autodiscover’ and point it to an IP at my hosted exchange. With my current setup with my previous hosting, this wasn’t an option. So..  new hosting. Since I was on the fence anyway about setting up a new blog, this was the perfect opportunity to start a new one.
