Tekzilla

MacLife Mench
The July ‘08 issue of MacLife has a feature entitled The 30 Best Mac Apps You Never Heard Of. This site lands between #17 (Handbrake) and #19 (Cyberduck). Neat! Thanks!
Server Move
I’ve just completed moving to a new server and flipping nameservers. As a result, there may be a few bumps and 404s until I nail down any remaining minor discrepancies. On the plus side, man, this server rocks. There’s a perceptible speed increase in page loads and database access. Hopefully, this will put an end to the database outages which occurred with the old host.
Site Fixes
Looks like my host’s MySQL servers are back up to snuff. Things actually do seem to be a bit snappier.
In about a week I will be making some adjustments to the site which may cause a few bumps but I don’t expect any down time. However, if the situation changes I will make a note of it here.
Site Access
It’s been a worrisome few days.
My hosting company has been having some serious issues with their MySQL servers and as a result this site has been inaccessible. I’m told access will be much better after the current issues are resolved. I’ve managed to workaround their problem to a small extent, but it’s still not perfect, so expect things to be a bit slow-loading for a bit.
Site is Slow to Load
My hosting company is experiencing some server trouble and as a result–so they report–access to the site will be slow through the day on January 18 while they effect repairs. Sorry about that!

Nice blog-post mench of Dupin by Mr. C. Breen over at Macworld.
Am I Being Ripped Off?
I invite regular visitors of this site to have a look at the descriptions for this app and see if they are not virtually identical to many of the scripts I offer here. I gave the developer of this app permission to use one single snippet of code in one script of mine. Do you think that they over-extended my generosity?
