Gave up my Hostmonster account

Kates Gasis — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:15:43 +0000

Just finished talking to Daniel from Hostmonster to cancel my account. I’d say Hostmonster has one of the best support service in the internet. All my questions before was met by a friendly support staff. Too bad I’m not using shared hosting as much anymore.

Just completed the move of this blog to a VPS. Transferring the database and wordpress files was painless. It was the DNS that took so long. My VPS’s DNS server has problem with A records. Thankfully, my domain seller, Namecheap provides a free DNS hosting.

Currently using TuxGuitar for studying music tablatures. It can read and play Guitar Pro files sans the Realistic Sound Engine but then again the TuxGuitar MIDI are already good enough.

Pathetic Police Force

Seriously, we can do better than this. Watching how it all happened live on television shows our police force is in a very bad shape.

I’m using Skitch for my screenshot needs (sorry macosx client only). I wonder how long will the images stay and how many are allowed. Can’t find from their site. Skitch is still a free service so far.

reblog for wordpress.org sites

It looks like wordpress is on their way to implement Picasa Web from wordpress admin. It’ll streamline the whole process of writing a blog post, upload photo to picasa, copy image url and paste it in the blog post.
