Just another WordPress weblog

What is this? Get rid of it!

Let me tell you this, I bet the Liberal/National part cuts everything they dont understand.

“Whats this NBN internet thing? I just want to check my email and use my iPad in the car… we dont need fiber to the home, cut it!”

So your telling me, just because some stupid fucking politician doesnt know about wireless broadband plans wants to cut the NBN to create some unstable, slow and flawed wireless internet for Australia… you have to be fucking kidding!

How the fuck is a country supposed to use Wireless internet when its slow and can easily get congested. This is one of the stupid people we need to kill, in the worse kind of way. Hung, shot, thrown off a cliff, ran over, torn apart, left in acid – but not exactly in that order.

Kill the stupid people

People are always going on about population control for the country and the world, I found one way to solve it: Kill the stupid people.

This world could do without the stupid people that bitch, complain and moan about things that are common sense. For example, someone gos out and eats fattening food all day, gets fat and sues, well of course your going to get fat eating fattening food, why the fuck is that the persons fault that made the food!?

And what about hot things, “oh shit I burnt myself! IM GOING TO SUE!” how fucking stupid can you be? seriously. Learn some common sense you fucking idiotic dumb fuck retards.

Kill the stupid people, its the only way to make this world a better place, and while we at it, kill all the criminals, whats the point of a life or two life sentence, just kill them and stop wasting money on them.

Well, that was interesting

Over the past week, I’ve gone from a VPS with Liquid Web (I love them), to shared hosting with Site5 (Perfect but somewhat limiting) to uuh, “Cloud”-ish hosting with Media Temple.

I did want to stay with Liquid Web but I don’t need a VPS all to myself anymore, so I went to Site5′s Shared Hosting, love it at first but after a while it was somewhat limiting, which is too bad they seem like really nice people.

I’ve been up all night, maybe it’s time I go and pass out.

Site5 would have to be the best Shared Hosting provider I have used, would recommend them to anyone looking for hosting.

There and back again

When I first started making websites, I started out on a shared host with a rather annoying control panel, Ensim with UZIPP which is no longer around.

After that I moved to a dedicated server with EV1Servers which was taken over by ThePlanet, which I thought was ok until I went to upgrade to a new server and didn’t get any help at all with the setup like I did with the first one which made me hate ThePlanet.

After leaving ThePlanet like 2 days after trying to setup the server and failing I found an awesome VPS deal with LiquidWeb, a host I had always wanted to go with but wasn’t prepared to pay the prices (I was young).

I loved the VPS I had with Liquid Web and stayed with it for a few years before trying to find something cheaper, thats when I found Liquid Web’s Storm service and grabbed the smallest server.

But after a month I started thinking, why do I need a server all to myself when all I do is host my rather pointless blog and some of my projects websites.

I don’t host my Subversion repositories on my server anymore, I wont be using all the space on there, it’s rather pointless to be paying so much for something I’m hardly using.

So I set out to find a host that will let me host multiple sites with a control panel for each site. I tried MediaTemple and quickly canceled as it didn’t have what I wanted.

Then I remembered a host I had a look at a while ago called Site5 with some pretty good prices, I took a closer look at the plans, found one that appears to have what I need, I signed up and the next day I started moving my sites over.

So far I’ve had no problems with the shared hosting of Site5, but then again I don’t run any big websites.

There is however, just one small, tiny, little thing. While doing a tracert to my domains, Site5 appear to be using servers from ThePlanet.

So I’ve gone from shared hosting, to dedicated, to virtual private and back to shared, and after so many years of controlling my server, having PHP and Apache setup the way I like, it’s weird going back to shared hosting. But hey, it’s cheap, and I no longer have to worry about fixing any problems with CPanel, Apache, etc.

Teh intanetz

I’m going to be completely honest and try to remain calm as I describe what the internet is like in Australia.

The Internet in Australia is so unstable, unreliable and extremely slow you’d have a better chance of downloading a 2gb file on dialup than ADSL (with a download manager, of course).

I’ve had to start using Wireless because the ADSL lines are so congested because the exchange is so fucking crowded. One phone exchange for everyone in about 3-4 areas is just fucking pathetic.

Server move?

I love LiquidWeb, I said I would never leave them, they are the best host I have ever used!.

But yes, I’m probably moving servers, from LiquidWeb to LiquidWeb. Well Storm to be more precise.

I suck at MySQL

I never really thought about MySQL, I just used it to run INSERT, UPDATE and SELECT queries.

But more recently I’ve been doing more with it and realized I really suck, and should really learn more about it.

Apple, beautiful hardware that fails

Yes, I did just say that. I think Apple makes nice looking hardware, but it fails.

I didn’t like the wired Mighty Mouse as the stupid thing liked to auto-click, so I got the wireless Mighty Mouse which was good, but after a while the little scroll ball decided to die for no reason…

So I grabbed out my old wired Mighty Mouse, and to no surprise it still auto-clicks sometimes, but whats worse is, the scroll ball is doing the same thing.

I've about had it

I’ve about had it with my iMac, it’s really starting to piss me off.

When I first got it, it was great I loved it, never wanted to use Windows again, but for the past year the mouse curve or whatever it’s called bugs the hell out of me, and more recently the piece of shit likes to hang on me.

I had to switch to Firefox as Safari literally took 30 seconds to start, and freeze up on me when I try to type in an address. I’ve moved back to Windows for just about everything except for watching a DVD.

Yes, thats right, I use my iMac as a DVD player with a built in screen, it’s a slow piece of shit otherwise.

Back to WordPress

It’s been over a year since I actually used WordPress on my site, I kind of made my own fail blog software and later decided I hated it.

So I’m back on WordPress and hopefully I will actually use it, we’ll have to see..
