Man, I miss that system. Polls, chat, photo gallery, built in blogroll. And a nifty logo to boot. ;-)<br /><br />This free stuff is getting boring. But that's just it - I switched to Blogger cause it's free.<br /><br />So, I've been browsing <a href="http://www.cmsmatrix.org/">websites</a>, trying to figure if I should keep the old system (cause all I did was shut the server off) or switch to some other snazzy app?<br /><br />If I did decide to get it back up and running I'd:<br /><ol><li>Have to figure the cost to run it in house. Electricty costs mostly.</li><li>Compare to costs of having it hosted somewhere else (and then what? start with fresh content or try migrating the old data over?)</li><li>Compared to not spending anything at all and just keep this site.</li></ol>My domain name came up for renewal. After the third reminder, I decided to renew it for another year...... just in case. Now that I did that, I'm getting all sentimental / reminiscent for the old site.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">Dear kingofbigwheels.com:</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> How you been? Yeah, been a while since we spoke. You're probably still hurting from our last encounter. But, in your will, you stated you wanted to be kept on life support indefinately. So, technically, I could plug you back in and we'd have fun again. Just like old times.</span></span>KingOfBigWheelsnoreply@blogger.com
