Hello Tosh

Got a Toshiba?

Yeah, have actually. Toshiba satellite in grey rather swanky it is too, purchased in preperation for forthcoming Amsterdam blog.

A test
The advert shows coffee and dropping incidents, wich the worthy tosh can withstand.

We’ll see how it copes with burning chunks of ganja & getting lost up prostitutes skirts’ for the forcoming informational bonanza in that low-lying port they call the Damm.

Dun
Hopefully I wouldn’t be whilst holding my high tech devices and spreading my legs to balance properly in the forthcoming windy conditions, but I am all set and ready to hit the blogging trial.

Found out today one of my old school friends was murdered with an axe.

Burn
They tried to burn down his £300k house in north Harrogate.

Friend
Max Bryan was an old school friend of mine.

I’m sure many people reading this know and remember Max as one of the more humorouss and popular kids in our school.

If his family or any of Max’s friends are reading this, I’d like to send my condolences and post this in the hope that the culprits are brought to eventual justice.

Tyke.

I have started a new car hire page on my website.

From here you can compare 3 of the biggest UK car hire firms and choose the quote that suits you best.

No point in putting all your eggs in one basket.

After 5 weeks of trials and analysis, I’ve moved the lonelyplanetexchange to a new, and optimum UK hosting solution.

For those of you who are in the market for a UK host, here are my experiences with a number of the top UK hosting companies.

Fasthosts UK
Was going to switch to fasthosts. Found out that they charged for individual MySQL databases.
They like many other large companies give you 30 days grace in dove-tailing your operations, so canceling with them was no problem.
I still run one of my sites with them.

Virtual Names
LPX was hosted with them for a number of years. Ran out of bandwidth.
Based in Somerset. Cheap and fast, simple and effective.

Christian technology
Nothing Christian about their service, no-one was prepared to deal with me sensibly.
Tested their service on this dns report, where you enter you domain name and it queries your server with a load of pertinent questions.
Christian technology failed on about 8. Quite serious ones as well.

I get the impression that once you get yourself high up in webperf you can forget about service. This is not the case.
Avoid.

DJango
Cliff, the owner runs a monitor repair service in his spare time and it took him over 3 days to manage a DNS handover leading to a large loss of traffic.
I need say no more.

Positive Internet
Featuring large gawnless giraffee character.
Not sure if he was in the office, dealt with my request or what his role is.
Other than that, they have kept the site up and running for the last two weeks. T
he service is cheap and good, although perhaps a little sparse.

Here’s a picture.
