- And So We Move To Warmer Climes… Can five New Englanders from New Hampshire and Vermont pull up stakes in the dead of winter and head down to South Florida to begin anew? Can these five brave souls leave the familiarity of home, friends, and family, for the good of the company and be happy with their new, upside down lives? Maybe, maybe not...

- Photographer, Digital Illustrator, Or Something Else Altogether? If you have an ego that makes you believe that you’re better than most of those photographers you see in those fine art photography magazines (real photography magazines put together by real editors that spend real time putting together a magazine of real talent, not some self-published “Hey look I’m legitimate now!” vanity publication) you probably need to come down off that pedestal, stop posting your work on social networking websites that have very little to do with the actual art of photography, and do some self discovery...
XtremeCamera is back online after 4-day MIA
December 6, 2009 12:00 amApologies all around. XtremeCamera is back online after an unexpected failure of the hosting company that has served as our co-location host for the past 6 years. Our servers are under lock and key and it will be months before we get them back, if ever. We’re not even sure we can find the receipts for the many parts that made up our custom, DIY Linux boxes we sent to the company over the years. In any case, we’ve joined up with Network Solutions with a dedicated server and we hope it will suffice until things settle down.
Please note that our last backup was dated November 14th, 2009 so anything posted in the blogs, in the reviews and opinions, in the galleries (all galleries), will need to be reposted. Since we’re now more than 65GB in size as a gzip file it just didn’t make sense to do more frequent backups remotely. In the future we’ll know better; you can never be sure who is next to go belly up.
Once again, we apologize to our members, our readers, and our clients for being MIA these past 4 days.
