Another Hoster Move

I’m sure i said it before, but i wasn’t to happy hosting with production cam. it was pretty much one admin and he had a social live, so support wasn’t great. There were also some other issues that were kinda annoying. The main thing was when i set up the account there i didn’t login to my Paypal account so no “subscription payment” was set up. So at the beginning of each month i would have had to pay it manually. They tried to set up a reminder for me but that didn’t work and that is what pushed me over to go to a profession web hosting.

Enter Justhost.com. I didn’t choose the because they are kinda like my url, but because they are one of the best rated hosting providors i found. The onlything i didnt like about the proccess is that they said it was gonna be $3.95/m everywhere on their site. But once you get to the purchase page, you have a couple options:

  1. $3.95/m in 24 month payments.
  2. $3.95/m in 12 month payments.
  3. $4.95/m in 3 month payments.
  4. $6.95/m in 1 month payments.

Also the last one is the onlyone with a set up fee. And i didnt really wana pay for 12 months. that is too big of a chunk out of my savings, even tho is every 12 months. I would have to make sure that i had about $100 dollors at that time every year (Hosting, and the URL). In the long run it might have been cheaper, but again, big chunks isnt not good for me, little peices is good.

Well hopefully ill stay here for longer then i did anywhere else (since i brought my siteback up with drewskii.com free hosting, he doesnt do that anymore btw). I havent looked but maybe ill be able to change my payment plan to the 12 month payments and lower my price. Oh well.

My New Gear

Last monday i went a purchased a new mouse and headset. The mouse i had was wearing out and getting gunk in it. The headset i had was starting to hurt my ears after a long time of wearing them.

The new mouse i bought is a Razer Deathadder. The headset i bought is the Plantronics Gamecom 367.

I like them both, but i really like the Gamecom headset. Its very comfortable and acording to my friends on ventrilo, the mic sound just as goold as my old headset (It was a plantronics). I really like how the mic is small and can hide away when not in use.

The mouse is ok. Its more of a FPS mouse, but still good for a MMO mouse. In the driver software, it has the ability to assign macros to a single button press. Like setup a set of key combinations, Similar to what the Logitech keyboard does.

Pictures after the break. Continue reading →

Its been a while

Man has it been a while. My last post was what..  lil over 2 weeks ago. WoW. Well Here is a list of the updates, short sweet and simple (twitter-like :P )

  1. Got my computer works great, sorry i didnt post an update sayin iv got it.
  2. The main reason i  havent posted here in a while is because since iv got my computer back i can play WoW again and that is taking upalot of my time. Can you say adiction.
  3. Iv also been working on a small side project. It all started with rewriting the phparmory classes. So i needed script to use it and test to make sure it works good. Iv uploaded it to my site you can view it here. Ill try to make a post about it later. (removed link, no longer working on it)

Some updates

Well this post is really just to send out some updates on a few particular topics.

First id like to share that there has been no update on the status of my computer. Friday was between 8 or 10 business days, depending on when you start the count. But i might contact them monday. As far as i know, is there is a back up of orders and they havent had the time to get to my purchase. You know it is tax season, so everyone wants a new computer.

The next is the fact that i finely got my twitter account back. So you can now find me there also. Here is my address “http://twitter.com/justgiz/“. I am also useing a plugin for wordpress to help me sych my blog and my twitter. So every post i make here will be link to on my twitter page. There will also be a widget here showing my recent “tweets”. There are a few other features of this plugin, but i dont think ill use em just yet. Mainly the digets option. IT will be kool. Once a week (or a day if i wanted to) a post will be made here about about the tweets iv made.

The last thing im gonna share is another plugin i have running. It give my blog a mobile theme for people visiting from a mobile device. Its realy fansy lookin theme too. If you want to check it out, visit the site on a mobile device, or click here to force showing it. To get back either click the link at the bottom of the mobile theme page or delete the cookie named “cf_mobile”.
