Not Another Portfolio

This past week I was on a Mission Trip in Georgia with my church.  It was a work camp where kids from all different middle/highschool church youth groups from all over the country ( about 400 kids/adults ) and worked on homes in Valdosta, Georgia.  Experiencing such work through God’s eyes was amazing for the residents were the sweetest with pure hearts and good intentions.  It was some what hard to be away from the computer all week, luckily nothing bad happened while I was gone, server had 100% uptime all week which is good.  That 1GB RAM upgrade really came in handy that I requested a few weeks back so that is all good now.

Came back.  Put my cell to charge, dumped pictures from camera onto my PC and then signed on then IMs started pouring out like crazy.  It was hard to get back into the work desk mood but its a switch I do a lot when I come back from my “vacation”.  If you call waking up at 6:45 AM to annoying songs and painting homes from 8:30 to 2:30 fun, be my guest, but it was a very relaxing and things that I look forward to get outside and breathe the real fresh air once in a while

I am also proud to say that I got a promotion over at Pixel2Life.com!  I am now an Administrator on their community forums!  Go me!  Things should be rolling out with Hammer Time ( P2L’s Secret Project ) any week now.  I am looking forward to the public release - same for the private beta release.

All in all, it is good to be back home.  The seven hour drive to and fro was a bit hecktic, but other churches had 18 hour drives so I am thankful for that.  Me and my girlfriend were both out of town ( she was at a canoe camp ) so we could not get intouch with each other.  She called me when she got the chance and I just realized that tomorow is our one month!  Go me again! So I am off to go order some flowers to go send to her door since she will be working tomorow all day.  Atleast when she gets home, she will have something pleasant to look at until I come see her!  Hope to blog again soon, I just realized its pretty long.  hehe.

Wow, It has been a while since I posted on my blog. I am such a bad boy… Let me give you a summary of what I have been up to. This will surely answer most of the questions I get in emails asking about whats going on in my web development world.

Pixel-Designz.net
I have not touched my own homesite in a while. I am changing my server soon in anticipation of v4 when I am done with all my very very sketchy summer projects. When I release v4, I will definately be on more writing tutorials and giving it a facelift. I have seen some ideas that I liked this summer thus so far and I am loving it. I will be posting a feature suggestion form to get input from the visitors. I have even got several requests for the script to be bought? Nice try guys, custom job.

LiquidxHost.com
The hosting business is still going a little weak but LXH is definately picking up in business. I broke even for the server a couple weeks ago and I am planning on expanding onto a new server due to the high traffic load on the client’s sites to relieve server stress. But for right now, I just ordered some upgrades to stabalize the server a bit.

Pixel2life.com
Yes, the secret is out. I have been mainly working on Pixel2life.com. Dan, NG and I have been secretly working on a new feature to add onto the P2L website codenamed: Hammer Time. Even though I would love to post lovely screen shots and tell details of what it entails, you will have to wait until it launches, which should be within the next couple of weeks.

Clients
I still do the template coding, site transfer and fixing the script deal. It is enough to keep me alive with all my expenses, mainly because I have not been able to advertise LXH as much since I have been busy with some other works in the making.

Thats it for now, I will post some more things soon and try to keep you guys updated!
