Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Gave admins the ability to edit and delete all posts. Add code to disallow editing a post when manually entering the edit URL for another user's post (unless it's an admin).

Progress will probably be on hold for awhile as I have a bunch of new stuff to do for my wife's business.

Thank you for all that you're doing, Gud!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's a question: do we care about maintaining ownership of buffistas.com, .net, and .info? (I forgot to renew .info, so it's not currently there, but figured it was worth asking.)

I guess we really don't want anyone else on those sites, and it's not that much money ($15-$20/year with the current company), so I guess the answer is yes?

Just checking!

I think the .net is used from time to time. I'd say yes since it would not be nice if someone else grabbed them.

Yeah, I think that's right. I did all three for another year.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, we don't want anyone else to have them. I have .info bookmarked but I am not sure why.

.info was for updates for whenever b.org was down.

Rings a bell.

What would people think of moving hosting from dreamhost to digitalocean? They recently lowered the price of their VMs so a $10 a month VM would probably be plenty. A $5 a month VM might even be enough.

I think it would make things a bit easier from a technical matter. Partly because I'd kinda like to change the database to PostgreSQL from MySQL for reasons. I'm also thinking of using Rails instead of PHP for the backend because there is a lot more security baked in with Rails. Without realizing it, I've structured the PHP to be an awful lot a Rails app already and it makes me think I might as well go Rails and get those baked-in features.
