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.

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 xxx

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 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.

This blog is currently hosted on one of their unmetered German VPS packages. The package includes 25GB RAID protected disk space, 10Mbps unmetered bandwidth along with 256MB RAM – 384MB Burst RAM.

I signed up with SpaceRich after seeing them mentioned on the popular VPS discussion blog, LowEndBox. After reading through some reviews from other clients regarding slow speeds on the German nodes – I was debating between the US and DE service. After a long hard think of about an hour after reading other reviews on the internet I decided to go with the German VPS.

After payment via PayPal (2CheckOut) I received confirmation of payment instantly via email. Within about a minute I had my VPS details email to me and was logged into SolusVM.

First thing I wanted to do was test the network speed. I logged into the server via SSH and download a 100MB file from a CDN. I was expecting speeds of 10Mbps only to find I was able to download at an amazing 10.5MB/s on this test file. I was told by support that the bandwidth on my VPS was burstable to 100Mbps if no other users was using any bandwidth – I was chuffed!

I updated the Debian system an upgraded all required installations only taking a couple of minutes. I installed the LowEndBox script which installs all the required servers to run a WordPress blog. I was amazed that the script was able to get my website running on only 30MB of RAM whilst idle and around 48MB of RAM under a little load. The usage doesn’t really rise much under heavier load. Anyone wanting to use this script can find it here.

I’ve only experienced down time once since I’ve purchasex my VPS (just over a week ago) due to a DDoS attack. SpaceRich mitigated it within 15 minutes and all was working fine after.

Support is generally speedy. Responses are made to my tickets between 30 and 60 minutes and have satisfying answers.

I finally decided that maybe through my experience I can help other people. But before i can do that i need to tell you abit about myself. I am a sixteen year old girl, who has been through a hell of a lot; this however, is not what i am here to talk about. I am here to talk and share my stories, struggles and determination with my eating disorder.

At the age of 11, i developed bulimia nervosa, my whole life revolved around it. I was starving, binging and purging on a regular basis. The disorder came from nowhere, it hit me faster than I could help it and it only took a few weeks before i was in the grasp of the terrible illness. And yes, for those of you reading, eating disorders are a serious illness, not a choice or a vain attention seeking problem. For almost a year i struggled alone. I was in denial and was still, at this point, hiding my ed from my friends and family. I would go to extreme lengths to hide food, excersise, cover up my shrinkin body, thinning hair and bloodshot eyes; it could range from wearing baggy clothes, too spitting food out into an opaque cup during dinner, excersising in the middle of the night, it was like an addiction. Within the first 4 months i dropped from eight stone to a tiny six stone four, and within a year a was virging on five and a half stone. At a tiny five foot, I was exhausted and suffering mentally, physically and socially aswell as feeling an extreme knock-on effects to my academic study.

Until you have suffered, you can truely never understand. By the end of this first year I was now suffering from EDNOS, otherwise known as eating disorder not otherwise specified. This purely meant that was showing characteristics of more than one disorder but not meeting the full criteria of either or. It was at this point my friends intervined ( my family still having no clue as they were wrapped up in their own problems). A dear friend of mine had noticed my obsession with weight, calories and excersise aswell as my extreme weightloss and as an attempt to help one dinner force fed me a short bread…this was a very bad move, too any of you out there with a suffering friend please do not act in this way, it will only make things worse. I was that hysterical that day i had to leave, it was then something pulled from inside me, the force an eating disorder can have on you is so strong, you dont realise it until you see it. That night i woke up in the night, i could barely move or speak i was that tired, I struggled to even sit up ( my mum was away on holiday) but from somwhere deep down in my soul cane strength and i managed to get up frm that bad and run up and down the stairs one thousand times with oly two breaks. I was amazed at myself. I loved being tired, i loved the bones.

I will continue this tomorow.
It wont all be doom and gloom.

xoxox little gem.
