New Hosting

Not that we really need it or anything, but we’re changing web hosts. This should hopefully help with the downtime we’ve experienced and it will also provide us with a good deal more space and bandwidth to expand into.

We hope to make the change as seemless as possible, but these things never tend to go exactly as planned. The change will happen in the next couple days so please be patient if you experience any weirdness or 404 errors. As always, feel free to attempt to contact us if you see any issues with the site as we make this change.

Thanks from the ModStomp crew.

Welcome to the ModStomp team!

We’d like to welcome Randy as the newest member of our little ModStomp team.

Randy is currently an IT professional and spends his days maintaining servers for a large outsourcing company here in Utah. He’s been in the IT industry for quite a few years and brings a ton of knowledge and expertise to our little team.

WELCOME ABOARD SLICK!

Forum is LIVE!!!

Well, it took a while, but the ModStomp forum is now live. Feel free to post away to your little hearts content. We’re currently hoping for lots of good posts of your modding adventures. Show us what you got!

Hurricane Katrina stuff

Hey all -

My team at eBay has put together a bunch of listings for different charities helping with the situation along the Gulf Coast. Anyone who feels like pitching in can bid on some items for a good cause. Thanks for any help!

See? I told you.

Witness the birth of a miracle. We’re a little behind, but there’s actually a legit review posted. I break out what I like about Rio’s 5gb Carbon. You can learn from my experience using the links on the left. My heart’s all a-flutter, but I think I can contain myself.

Anyway, I’d like to thank Mike, and my special lady Starla, and all the little people who helped, wherever you are. Peace out!

Speaking of being a doer. . .

I promise I’ll write some reviews soon! I’ve been doing a lot of playing with some pretty fun toys lately, and want to get the word out about them. I also need to expound on why War of the Worlds sucked, in case any of you needed or wanted my unsolicited opinion.

The big problem I’m facing, though, is that I’ve been jonesing for Rome: Total War a LOT lately. I’m playing the Parthians, and I’ve just finished taking out the Egyptian trash and floating their bloated corpses down the Nile. Next stop: Rome!

Anyhoo, if anyone is hitting this page besides me and Mike, keep checking back. Now that the skeleton is in place, we just need to add muscles, ligaments, circulatory and nervous systems, digestive tract and possibly some sort of reproductive system. Stay tuned!

A toast to us.

Well, it’s finally taking shape. We’ll be getting some reviews up soon; I’ve got some pros and cons for the Rio Carbon, Sprint PCS’s PPC-6600 Windows Mobile PocketPC Phone edition, and the neat little Holux GR-213 Bluetooth GPS. I’ve also been wanting to post some thoughts and recommendations for books and music based on recent reads and listens, so stay tuned. We’ll be filling the site out a bit more fairly soon. We’ll announce new elements as they’re live.

Here we go again…

Well, after yet another rebuild, we’re almost ready to go. Just gotta collect some content now.

Being the amature site authors that we are, we keep finding better ways to build (and rebuild) the site to make things run more smoothly. Unfortunately, it just becomes too difficult to maintain updates when you’re coding everything in notepad. Now, before you say anything, we know there are tools out there that would make things easier, however, part of the reason we’re building this page is to gain some additional knowledge about web design. Luckily we’ve recently figured out better ways to maintain content and the new site design will make navigation a little easier as well.

Ultimately, we’d like to build a site that compliments our interests and provides a waypoint to our eBay sales. Zach and I both work for eBay and we’re always buying and selling random stuff on the site. We want to use this site as a place where we can rant about the stuff we’ve bought and provide detailed information about the stuff we’re selling. Unfortunately, that makes this site very… ‘eclectic’. The vast array of items we’re interested in and purchase on eBay is just too much for one site, but we’re gonna try anyway. And hopefully this time we’ll stick with it and get the page done.
