I now have another new website! … And a domain name!

You can visit my new website at DouglasHeriot.com!

The address to the blog has also changed — it’s now blog.DouglasHeriot.com.

I currently have no webhost

That’s why the blog is looking bare – nobody is hosting my images.

Exphoster has been sold to some other guy. He claimed that he would continue Exphoster’s service but he hasn’t. He has stopped people from posting in the forums and hasn’t finished making the new website.

I have been looking for a new free webhost and have found a few I might use:

• ByetHost
• Freehostia
• 000webhost

There aren’t many to choose from because I need PHP and MySQL and in the future my own domain.

I have recently reached some milestones in Flickr. I have noticed that in the last 2.5 months (since I first got a Flickr gallery) there has been:

1. 200 views of my “photo stream”
2. 100 views of my iPod photo
3. I have uploaded 50 photos
4. I also have some other photos on 75 veiws, 52 views and others catching up.

If you want people to view your photos, I recomend that you join a few relevant groups and post some photos in them. I would tag your photos with anything you can think of that’s relevant but don’t use too many.

I have resumed work on a new website for DHD again. This time it is made all on flash. I hope this one will be the final one and stay around for a while (but that’s what I say everytime!). The flash website will be used for my main portfolio, about, contact and links to my stuff. Other things like individual games and products (eg: labs, colour box, filing cabinet) will have their own sites (sometimes also flash).

I hope to upload my website within a few days — maybe on the weekend.

This is the best panorama I’ve ever made. It is made up of 25 long exposure (2 sec) images. After hours of stitching and enhancing, I finally finished this 15000 pixel wide (yes! Fifteen-thousand) masterpiece.

I stitched it together with Autostitch on my 4 year old PC because the program isn’t free on Mac. It did something weird when I stitched all 25 photos at once. I then decided to stitch them in 4 smaller sets them stitch the 4 together. It finally worked in the end after about 4 hours of rendering, blending and option tweaking.

I don’t plan to do another one of these in a while!

I have now made a to-do list for my new content management system “Filing Cabinet”. It is not complete but if you are interested it will give you an idea of what I’ve been doing.

I have resumed work on my new content management system, Filing Cabinet.

I haven’t posted much information about it at all yet but a mini site is coming sometime soon. Basically, Filing Cabinet is a Content Management System (CMS) that uses all the modern web technologies. It uses AJAX, XHTML, CSS.

I took this photo a few years ago and i liked i but I just left it sitting around. I finally remembered it again and decided to enhance it as it was very pale and washed because I took the photo on a cloudy day.

I now have a Flickr gallery. It is a lot better than my old Google Picasa Web Albulm.

I have got another new webhost. This is the (um…) 5th one so far but also the best one so far. They provide lots of stuff that most free hosts don’t — such as PHP and MySQL.

That means that my URL has changed again — it’s now dhd.exphoster.com.
