I was watching a screencast at Linux Crazy ( Podcast 51) the other day where comprookie2000 gave a tour of his home network using a graphic. I have wanted a graphic depicting the topology of my home network for my site but never got around to figuring out how to make one. Watching the screencast got me interested again.

Looking at David’s (comprookie2000) graphic made me feel for the guy. It is rare I find someone will less artist talent than myself. No no disrespect but wow is it bad. 44.9k file size for a 400×225 pixel image? Ouchie for the people that visit his site with limited bandwidth. In all fairness, I was not able to reduce it much with my limited skills using the “.png” file type. While no fan of “.gif”, it will reduce this image by 50%.

While having a dedicated server is great, the cost of running it, not so much. I’ve had this server for 18 months now and done very little with it, other than run a few personal sites. The original plan was find things that might help offset or even pay for the servers upkeep. I never got around to getting that done. I need to find ways to offset the cost, and will be looking at ways to do just that in the near future.

Don’t expect to see banner ads or anything, that isn’t going to happen. However some change is in the air and will arrive soon.
