Client Server Migration

So things have been rather busy since deciding to migrate all of our clients to a new hosting platform. I am happy to announce that the migration is finally complete. That is, it is finished for the paying customers. As for the IS students at UNLV, I will be contacting you about the process that you will need to follow to migrate your free hosting account to the new host as well. I feel kinda bad about not being able to move all of you myself, but then again, it is a free service and this will give you great experience of how to move your website to a new server, databases and all. It will be fun, and of coarse i will be here for support if you need help.

Thanks for all of your patience during the migration and I hope you enjoy the upgraded server.

The Next Generation Designer Workflow - Adobe Flash Catalys

I have just been notified of a great local event in Vegas next week that I think i will try to attend. My professor recommended me this meeting.

I believe it is the Las Vegas Flex group and they will be covering a bit of drupal.

Being that I am currently in a Flex class to learn and brush up on my object oriented programming skills, I am very interested in learning how action script can interact with drupal and what can be done using these two technologies. My goal is to learn how to develop rich internet applications that can use drupal as their back end for supporting user and content administration.

I hope I can attend this meeting and learn a trick or two about flex and drupal. I will report my findings.

To MSQL or MySQL

As our quest for world domination continues, we have teamed up with some professors from UNLV's Management in Information Systems department by allowing their students free access to hosting on Twisted Pair's platform.

My latest connection yielded a request for MSQL server space. I would love to donate this service as well, but the company we buy bandwidth and server space from, mosso.com, charges extra for hosting an MSQL server. Is this a normal practice among reseller hosting services?

Here is a screenshot of the client setup process with mosso:

I have a tough time believing that this service constitutes an extra 5 to 10 bucs a month, when we are paying much more than that for their service.

We are thinking about changing to another VPS host that offers reselling accounts. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

Free Hosting, Free as in Beer

Currently Twisted Pair is myself and my partner Range. We have quickly realized that for Twisted Pair to become a web development company that can sustain itself and become highly productive, we need more developers.

We are in the process of building a network of developers that will help benefit Twisted Pair Clients. One of the ways we are doing this is to open our hosting platform to young students and giving them the opportunity to bang away on their respective projects using our servers.

This benefits the students by giving them real world experience in dealing with hosting issues by giving them a live place on the web for their projects to live and grow. This also allows students to see if web development is something that they would want to pursue as a professional carreer choice.

It is in our best interest to give away free access to students because it gives us access to some young developers. We are striving to build strong relationships with young developers that could lead to benefits on their side as well as for Twisted Pair.

So, if you are a student and aspire to learn more about web development, be sure to grab some free hosting now while supplies last. Feel free to drop us a line and let us know how we are doing.

Thanks and goo luck.
