Just so no-one thinks I’ve suddenly disappeared, I thought I’d write up a quick post. I’m leaving on holiday tomorrow and won’t be back until the 16-17th of August.

I wasn’t planning on going anywhere but I got an offer I can’t refuse a free trip to Portugal with a friend of mine all I have to do is help paint their house over there. Sounds fair to me, anyway once I get back I’ll catch up with everything and hopefully finish the phpBB/PHPmotion bridge I’ve been working on for so long.

Unfortunately I won’t have much Internet access, so I’ve momentarily disabled installation services for the phpmotion addons to avoid any problems. If you have any problems/questions you can still email me & I’ll try and get back to you asap.

I’m finally back online, the server I was hosted on with Cirtex was hacked & every single site on there displayed some “hacked by root-x” message. Probably hundreds of sites as it was shared hosting. Anyway it’s for the better, now I’m using a VPS from jaguarpc.com & all I can say is…. wow. I don’t know why I never moved sooner, sure you have to setup more of the stuff yourself as you manage the vps. But it’s so simple even an internet n00b could do it without too much trouble.

So, if you’re looking for somewhere to host your video site, blog or whatever other sites you own take a look here you won’t regret it!

PS. Their support is the best I’ve ever seen, I used the ticket system for a few questions I had & usually it was solved within minutes! I’d definitely recommend them if you need someone to walk you through the first steps!!

For those of you waiting for the phpBB3 integration mod or the update for the seo-pack, I’m sorry it’s taking so long but there’s a simple stupid reason to the delay.

99% of the time I cannot even connect to my own site (http or ftp), for some reason the only IP my ISP doesn’t let me connect to appears to be the one I’m hosted on. All Cirtex have to say is contact your ISP, so after not getting anywhere with either the ISP or the host I’m off to somewhere new.

I’m currently in the middle of setting up my new vps with jaguarpc.com & so far so good once this is all sorted out, things will get done a hundred times faster (ok maybe not a hundred but it’ll sure speed up).

I’m feeling creative so I’ll be redoing this site soon (if I have the time), I’ll also be completing it some more because as you may have noticed some of the pages are a bit bare…

Happy new year to everyone (I know I’m late) things have been kinda busy lately so I haven’t been able to update my blog for a while.

Anyway here’s a quick run down on what’s happened since my last post.

• Got christmas presents! A new phone & a laptop (well the laptop is on a loan but counts as a xmas pressie as I bought it 2 days before)
• Played around with my new laptop (HP dv9500t) which is about 300 times faster then what I was on before.
• Spent a few days trying to figure out vista
• Spent some more time fixing vista… I don’t know if I’m unlucky or if Vista was released to early…
• Finally got vista nearly setup how I wanted it
• Started working on my nice new (now working) laptop!

And that’s about it really nothing special, I also finished some work on some client’s sites which I’ll probably post about later.

Something interesting I found whilst searching the web today. Test your vocabulary & help those in need whilst sitting on your pc isn’t that cool?

Freerice.com donates 10 grains of rice per correct answer, that may not seem like much but as the saying goes every little helps. And then if we all start doing it, them 10 grains of rice start multiplying What are you still doing here? Head on over there and start helping!
