Pretty good, right? The problem: I had been hosting my website off of my desktop for a few months, but when it came time to move out to California for the summer, I realized this wasn’t going to work. I bought another computer to use as a server and left it with a friend. Unfortunately, there were a few hardware compatability issues with my hardware and my friend didn’t have much time to mess with it. Now that I’m back in Rochester, I spent a few days configuring the machine and now my machine/website is back up!

I had been meaning to buy one for a while now, but apparently David Brenner is a common name. Not only that, but I share my name with a semi-famous comedian. Notice the semi-famous part. He was voted #53 on Comedy Central’s Top 100 comedians, which apparently means approximately 1 out of every 100 or so people that read/hear my name decide to ask me, “Hey, are you related to that comedian?” and the other 99 have no idea that another David Brenner exists.

That said, I had the opportunity a few years ago to take davidbrenner.com, but I didn’t. What a shame. This is just about the only combination of my name available. I just found out it was available a few days ago, so I decided to go ahead and buy it. So, here it is.
