Well, I'm finally made the plunge and signed up with DreamHost. I now almost have a website up. What I currently have is a Wordpress weblog which apparently has some configuration problems. I can change the settings and edit comments, but I can't actually make posts or edit the default "Hello, Worl…

It looks like actual game development might have to be put on hold for this week; all the web business is fairly time consuming, but somewhat exciting nonetheless.

I've signed up to a web domain name through GoDaddy, so I know I've got a name I'm fairly happy with (which I'll keep under wraps until …

Ack! Too many variables, too many options! I've spent most of the day comparing options and reading reviews and my mind is now totally scrambled.

The impression I get is there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there's also no cheaply priced banquets either. Every one of these hosting plans has i…

A Host of Web Hosting Services

The choice between web hosts is a confusing one. I've been looking up all the suggestions made so far, and deciding between the options available is making my brain hurt. It's almost reached the "information overload" point, where I tend to just go with my gut instinct…

The GDNet file manager appears to be usable today, so I can update this week's journal header.

Being unable to load up images to GDNet this week was a reminder to me that I really need to move on getting my own hosting. While the limited amount of web space here has been a great way to dab my toes i…

I notice I'm still unable to access my GDNet+ web space. The control panel web interface seems to be unloadable, and the FTP service is down. This is a bit of a pain, since it means I'll be unable to upload anything. I was planning on posting more Inkscape pictures and screenshots of Ice Slider nex…

Moonpod's Starscape has proved to be a mite more addictive than I'd bargined for; it's taken the lion share of my dev time recently. While sampling indie games has been instructive, it's also extremely distracting when they're so fun. I've got to make me an omni-directonal shooter game some time; M…

I really should be posting more updates here, even if I haven't got a lot to day. Posting regularly is a motivation to do things to fill out the journal.

I've been spending a bit too much time playing through those indie games. I've ended up purchasing a copy of Eets - Hunger: It's Emotional; I'm a …

I'm back from my brief trip back down to my originating city of Melbourne. Overall it was a pretty successful trip; got to catch up with people, generally hung out with my family for a while, and did all the administrative tasks I needed to. Most importantly I feel energised and ready to take on th…
