One step in the right direction...for now.
As of a couple days ago, I've got a new host. I actually had one before that but was extremely disappointed with them in the first few days and immediately dropped them. Hopefully all the issues I've had over the past few months with uploading and latency have been solved. If not, I sure will not hesitate to drop this one also and keep looking.
All in all, the server should be faster and hopefully a bit more reliable. I absolutely loved my previous host, but for the past few months, I've had some serious connectivity issues between me and the server so I was only able to upload at about one tenth of my capped limit at home — OUCH! — and at least for me, even downloading had some reliability problems.
As for the site, this is still (unfortunately) faked. I almost redid /phg in the midst of finding a new host, but I was talked into leaving it the way it was and creating a new, more organized version later. And on the minus side of things, I lost all of the original versions of my photos about a month ago in an unfortunate mishap. Luckily, most of the full sized jpegs were stored in /phg so I do have those, but no more RAWs of most of them. As a result, I've been a bit more active with photogrpahy so I can rebuild. I've also acquired some new lenses that I need to play with, so hopefully /phg will be frequently updated and a new gallery on the way.
