Thank you for your patience! - -Hello, and welcome to the new website! Now I have the ability to post blogs and easily add and edit information about projects I currently work on. So far everything has been going fairly smoothly, but a couple of unexpected road-blocks have surely arisen. In the meantime, I wanted to give you more information about why I chose to switch the domain for my web server, and what were the drawbacks of doing so. - -### Why Did I Change Domains? - -It's a combination of four different reasons, half of which are not well justified by simply buying a new domain: - -1. This new domain is cheaper to maintain for longer periods of time. -1. I would like to escape using Google services as much as possible, of which the old domain was registered with. -1. I wanted an excuse to start this new website made with the Django framework, and the downtime gave me an excuse to do so. -1. I have no idea how to switch around `certbot` certificates between web servers. - -### What were the Drawbacks of Changing Domains? - -There weren't very many! The minor one is that I just have to go back to any of my accounts online that mention the old domain and add the new one instead. - -The major drawback is that all versions of my projects that use my web server to check for updates now return errors. These projects include: - -* Resurrection (Java throws errors, but doesn't affect the functionality of the program afterwards.) -* Wiimmfi Watcher (Displays a Toast saying there was an issue, but this project is no longer maintained anyway.) - -Resurrection 1.3.2 will release in the next two days to point to the correct domain to check for updates. - -### What Will Happen with this New Website? - -Not much really. - -I have always seen my website as a way to quickly showcase the projects I've worked on and I wanted to not only make it easier to add and update my projects on my website, but also be able to post blogs on topics that I believe are relevant and show how much I have grown. So hopefully you will be here for the ride while I work on getting the website fully functional! -- cgit v1.2.3
