So if you’re reading this page, you’re probably thinking, “What’s the deal with this site? Where did it come from? Why does it exist? Who created it? When did it come into existence? How is it hosted?” There, that’s all six of the major questions (thinking back to second-grade English, here). Anyway, have no fear, because this is where all those questions (and possibly more) will be answered here (eventually).

This blog is named Random Ramblings of mattfast1… at least, that’s the name as of this writing. It’s just that: It’s what I’m thinking when I hit the “write post” button in WordPress. It may be good, it may be bad, but it’s always pure mattfast1, all the mattfast1 time.

This blog had some pretty humble beginnings, starting on a LiveJournal account, then moving to a Blogger / Blogspot account. Finally, it was moved to a paid server that was purchased by my mother for her family history website. In June 2005, it was finally moved over here to the mattfast1.com server. Finally, I could say I was paying for my own hosting (and bandwidth… ug).

This blog exists as a form of therapy for me, by allowing me to get my thoughts out about basically anything. Sometimes, I let others post here, but it doesn’t happen much.

I am mattfast1, and I created this blog. I think that’s all I need to say about that.

This blog incorporates posts from my old Blogger and LiveJournal accounts; however, it came into existence a relatively short time ago, only since May 2005.

This blog, as well as my entire network, is hosted by DreamHost. They are a great host, very reachable, and with very little downtime. Compared to SimpleHost, which is where my mother’s hosting was, they’re the best. After all, SimpleHost has a lot of outages, and their tech support is nearly unreachable… unless you’re accidentally breaking their TOS. Then, they’re all over you. That would be why that site was moved away from there, the account was canceled, and she moved here.

More will be added to this page sometime.
