- Starting the salvage process now, this should be fun. These guys are just full of personality. #
- Wow, These guys don’t have any Christmas spirit nor a sense of humor. #
- Done, fairly painless, off to the BMV to get a new title and plates reattached. #
- Title is done. Currently standing in line a BMV. I think some of the people are here just for the heat. They don’t look like they could own #
- It’s also low IQ day here at the BMV. #
- All in all that took much less time than anticipated. #
- Washing machine repair guy shows up with part, installs part, then informs us washer doesn’t work right, probably never did. #
- More washing machine parts on order… They shouldn’t be this complex or complicated. Put in water, stir clothes, drain water, rinse, etc. #
- Wow, 40-50% of Blackberry Storms are being returned… It sucks that bad. #
- Makin Coffee, decalf that is. Somebody has to do it, might as well be me. #
- Totally disappointed by the year end TWIT podcast. “10 Ferret Night”. Weak. I expected more from Leo and John Hodgman. #
- Seems if you don’t stand in the wind, the windchill effect won’t get you. So stay out of the wind (duh). #
- Bloglines is so jacked up. It’s lost track of stuff I’ve already read a few times today. #
- Matthew Alexander is one cute dude… #
- OOPS came out and marked our property this morning for the new cable service. Seems they are going to bury it this time. #
- http://tinyurl.com/vfms8 Christmas, 80’s style… 🙂 #
- http://tinyurl.com/ayfw5y here’s to all the people who’ve failed an MS Certification test. Take that! #
- My bad, I couldn’t understand a word she was saying in the video. I’m not sure she really passed. I think the testers simply gave up. #
- Need a last minute gift? Word on the street is that there is no line at the Bengals Gift shop 🙂 #
- Irony. Living 25 miles from work and getting to drive 25 mph home. Yeah. #
- The temps been rising, it started raining hard about an hour ago and just like that, we have no internet. #
- Bah Humbug #
- Santas work is finally done. #
- Oh I scorred an isorobot from the inlaws. It’s a helloflotta fun. #
- Xmas Scores: isorobot, super sweet Craftsman tool box, a volt meter for the bike, a sweet hoodie and a sweater… #
- Santa only teased us with internet for an hour or two this morning 🙁 #
- Oh, and I got zero lumps of coal, so that’s always a good thing. #
- Tonight I scored a pair of LD undies, a reflective vest, and a couple lbs of instant microwave bacon. mmm not much beats bacon. #
- Just so were clear. I’m really hating Time Warner at this moment. #
- Still no internet and I was just informed our website has vanished form the virtual host. This is NOT my week for interweb related items. #
- Why do companies only let you chat online with pre-sales people that can’t help you? #
WebHostingBuzz
My love affair with local seo services and cheap host: http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/ is quickly coming to an end.
When I initially started using them I had some pretty signficant up-time issues. They agreed to move me to a different server. The same one that a buddy of mine is using for his blog that has worked out well. During my outages, his site was always still up.
Then out of the blue, on Christmas Eve no less, they decided to move me.
Since I control the dns of all my domains externaly (not with them) all my stuff broke.
If you want:
- A webhost that will move your stuff without notifying you.
- A webhost that will let you chat online with pre-sales support but not post sales support.
- 12 hour ticket turn around, only to have to go through everything again to get your stuff fixed.
Use: http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/
All of this is exacerbated of course by the fact that my broadband is non-existant, so that already puts me in a bad mood.
Granted the hosting is somewhat cheap, but it should be a little more reliable than it’s been. Especially when my recent issue was self inflicted by them. A little notice would have been nice. For the price of hosting, I somewhat expect an issue per-year. But they are running well above that now.
