Welcome to the new website

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 11:21

Hi guys,
Dear customers,

welcome to my new website. It’s not just a facelift. No – it’s a movement into working with an existing CMS. I was working on my own CMS for almost 1 1/2 years pretty hard, but with the new challenges that founding an own company delivers, I had the feeling that I need to jump onto the most famous CMS “bandwagon” called WordPress. It has been evolved since I installed it the last time (which is 5 years ago) to use for our private home-build-blog.

Of course, using a CMS does not mean that I stop using PHP to code my own tools and – more important than that: Tools for my customers.

So – let me welcome you here. It’s not just a change of the CMS, it’s also a change to a new server. The new one has more power (Core i7 CPU), 6x more RAM, 4x more disk space and what is most important – all the data are stored on a RAID5, which makes saving it more secure and a better “base” for the recent backups.

I hope you enjoy this new site and like the way how I combined a new fresh design, the portfolio and the blog into one site.

Have a great day!

Ciao
Dennis

PS. @ my loyal and recent blog readers: I’ve taken over the most interesting blog themes from my old blog. Unfortunately, I couldn’t move the comments, but I’m sure you guys will keep commenting :)

  1. hye dennis ;) i really like your design, perhaps you notice i mention it on twitter.

    anyway, its suprise me now. that’s seriously powerful server. are you hosting it on mac pro?

    kinda confuse here.

  2. Hi Pali,

    well – no. The server where this site runs sits in a datacenter in the center of Germany which has some big connections to the outside (up to 20GBit/s + a few 10GBit/s lines :D ). So enough power to server my needs.

    The main reason to switch was a single HDD in the old server. No problem with daily backups – but.. I prefer more security, especially if it’s the main mailserver for my business mails.

    The Mac Pro is my workstation. Just sharing stuff like music & podcasts throughout the home using the AirPort Extreme/Express stations + of course Gigabit-Switches (a Cisco in the basement + a HP ProCurve in the home office).

    I’ve just received my fix IP, so maybe if I want to create test-sites, I will power up the DELL server which now has 4GB of RAM + 3x 36GB SCA 10k HDDs. Not sure as this beast is a real power-sucker (up to 100W and I think with the 2 additional HDDs, it’s more like 130W).

    Hope I could unravel the mystery a bit :-D

    Ciao
