I got to sleep at 2am last night. I found that there were problems with many files transferred and had to do many of them again unfortunately. I continued working on the gallery at 7am this morning. As of 8:41am the HOG Golf Photo Gallery is up and running. Let’s test it out:

I also deleted thousands of unnecessary files and tables in the database. The database alone was cleared of over 50,000 “temporary” tables or files. This should help the gallery run quicker, as should my new dedicated server.

Next and (hopefully) final fix, the rotating banner in the header.

The core of HOG’s server move is done. The template and all text/posts are good to go. Now for the big PITA, the gallery. I started transferring the files to the gallery about 15 hours ago and they’re still going…

Baby steps…


Testing 1, 2, 3….. Is this thing working?

Oh man if you only knew how fried my brain is. I may have one brain cell left… HOG is back!

I don’t have time to write, I have more stuff to fix. But I’m glad to see the core of HOG is back online with the new server!


Threw the back out in a round of golf today

Today was a great day and I was playing Thanksgiving Point, a super tough Johnny Miller design.

On the 15th hole I’m at +5 but starting to hit some more solid shots.  I bend over to chip after my approach went over the green when an electric shock went through my body from my lower back clear to my fingers and toes.  After going all summer without throwing my back out, I’ve thrown it out a 2nd time in two weeks.  Not happy.


You’ll still be able to get Titleist Pro V1’s in January

The big news lately is that Callaway won a post trial motion to halt Titleist’s making of Pro V1’s on January 1, 2009.  Dozens, if not hundreds of golf sites have covered this.

Don’t worry

Titleist says their ability to deliver Pro V1’s won’t be affected at all because they’ve changed the way they produce them so that none of the patents they’re alleged to have infringed upon are being utilized.  They also have said they’re rolling out a new version of the Pro V1 in the first quarter of 2009 which will also not utilize said patents.

“We strongly disagree with the judge’s ruling and will file an appeal and seek relief from the injunction.  However, it’s important to recognize that this ruling will not have any impact on our ability to supply our customers with Pro V1 golf balls because of the following actions which we have undertaken. In September 2008, we converted production of the existing Pro V1 models so that they are outside of the patents in question, and we have also developed and will be introducing new and improved Titleist Pro V1 products in the first quarter of 2009 that are also outside the scope of the patents in question.”

When the new Pro V1 comes out it will be interesting to see what noticeable differences, if any, there will be.
