The daily updates continued in 2007 and 2008, in addition to my new occasional feature, Museday Tuesdays. By the end of this period, having grown tired of the constant outages and bad support offered by my host of five years, Futurepoint, I made the switch to Kattare which opened up a brand new realm of Java and Servlet possibilities, just in time for the Thirteenth Edition in August 2008.

For the first time, the URI! Zone was database-driven, making it more fun and less tedious to write updates. Although there were a couple of months (like May 2009) overburdened with work overtime, I used Java to make the site a friendlier place (adding birthdays, links to Facebook, and commenting improvements, for example). News updates this year followed a steady pattern: Mondays were usually Weekend Wrap-ups, Tuesdays were for Muses or News, Wednesday was Memory Day, Thursday was for Lists and Reviews, and Friday was for Fragments.

In 2009 and 2010, I was partially distracted by getting married and staying married, as well as long hours spent on my open source library, DDMSence. I once considered dropping down to four or three updates a week, but realized that such a move would eventually lead to zero updates a week. In addition, Doobie wisely remarked that five updates of crap were better than four slightly better updates. I continued to follow the previous edition's template for deciding what to write about (Newsdays, requiring more research, dropped to near zero), and also spent the blizzard of 2010 indoors migrating my photo albums to Picasa.
