Blogging

Sep 3

So, I used to use this way back when there was only me and Ryan using it. He’d be the only one reading my blogs so now we’ve picked up and i’m back and ready to start blogging again. In the past year i’ve gotten a job as a waitress, worked at the football ground, passed my gcse’s, almost passed my AS levels but we’ll come onto that later.

So Tuesday was the first day of term back at college and now i’m in my second year doing A2 in ICT, English and Sociology. I passed all of them with BCC but I got an E in AS Spanish and i’m debating whether or not to get that remarked. Oh crap, I have to go and ask my teacher about that “/

I swear I am never in college nowadays, so much free time! But it will come to use nearer the exams and stuff to help with revision! Did I mention I was ONE mark away from a D in Spanish and 2 marks away from a B in ICT? So gutted about that, really am.

So uhum, I don’t know what else to write. I’ve had a brilliant few months over summer, so much has happened! I can’t be bothered going into details really, just briefly saying my life is utterly brilliant at the moment. :D

I have a cut on my lip, i dont know where that came from but hey, its hurting and it’s annoying. Im waiting for the Jonas Brothers to announce their Europe tour dates, I hope they come to Manchester or nearer to my home. ;[ I love the Jonas Brothers, they are utterly amazing and so inspiring, I LOVE THEM. I want to go to Florida too to the Harry Potter world, it looks AMAZING.

Anyway, i’m gonna head off blogging now, i’ll be around when something cool happens! Have fun :D xxx

Samsung releases iPad competitor – Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Sep 2

Samsung has become the latest challenger to enter the tablet computer battle, unveiling its Galaxy Tab at the IFA conference in Berlin.

The device will run on Google’s Android operating system, with a capacity of 16 or 32Gb, expandable by 32Gb more.

It weighs 380g (14oz), and has an 18cm (7in) screen – smaller and lighter than its principal rival the iPad.

Vodafone has announced that it will distribute the device in European markets including the UK in October.

The tablet can connect via 3G networks, as well as wi-fi and Bluetooth.

It will employ Samsung’s “Reader’s Hub” for e-books and the “Media Hub” for music and videos. It supports Flash video and will be able to stream content to a TV.

Samsung called it “the first of the company’s tablet devices”, suggesting further models will be forthcoming.

“Samsung recognises the tremendous growth potential in this newly-created market and we believe that the Samsung Galaxy Tab brings a unique and open proposition to market,” said Samsung’s head of mobile communications JK Shin.

“There is a new and emerging consumer demand that Samsung can satisfy since mobile is in our DNA.”

Vodafone’s Patrick Chomet said that the firm is “pleased to be introducing” the Galaxy Tab.

“Adding tablets as part of our device range is a natural next step that gives customers an alternative way to enjoy great content and internet services,” he said.

Technology analysts CCS Insight said that Samsung had joined the tablet melee with an “attractive device and strong service offer”, calling the 7-inch size an “appealing form factor”.

However they note that in a market with an increasing number of tablet competitors, pricing will become the crucial issue.

Tech-Hosts – Top notch, affordable hosting!

Sep 1

Tech-Hosts go by the line of ‘Technology Made Simple’ and they really do mean it!

Tech-Hosts are a leading provider of shared hosting, reseller hosting, master reseller hosting, SHOUTcast servers, Linux VPS and Email hosting solutions. They have been providing internet solutions since September 2007. All their shared/reseller/master servers are using the latest industry leading cPanel/WHM systems.

They claim to offer 24/7 support in a WHT post which is good – Their support is excellent and usually respond to tickets within minutes. The support team at Tech-Hosts are always willing to help and are always working to the best of their ability.

Their Linux VPS plans are hosted on rented servers from OVH in France on 1Gbps connections. They recently had an issue where one of their VPS nodes was down for a couple of days due to a networking fault at OVH. Apart from that – Their VPS service is fantastic. They offer an optional, fully managed service on all VPS plans free of charge whilst still providing root access. Burst RAM is offered on all plans along with optional extra’s such as cPanel, WHM-PHP and security services for a little bit extra monthly – These kind of services include full installation.

Their shared/reseller/master/SHOUTcast servers are all hosted in Maidenhead at the RapidSwitch data centre. Speed is fantastic – Running wget on a test file from my VPS in the US managed to reach speeds of 9MB/s – Tech-Hosts clearly know what they are doing!

I don’t like the fact their main website and client area is hosted one of their shared/reseller/master servers. In the event that this server was to become unavailable their website and support would be unreachable.

Tech-Hosts are currently offering a 60% recurring discount on their shared/reseller/master services. Details of this promotion can be found on their website near the package specifications.

Overall – Like the other hosts I have mentioned on this blog – I would highly recommend Tech-Hosts. They seem to know what they are doing, offer excellent hosting services and support.

1.) Open your command line and run it with administrators permissions and allow any requests to continue.

2.) The cache has been flushed. You can now close the command line. You will need to restart your browser before any changes are reflected.
