  • New Category – Posts Waiting to happen

    I’ve begun a new category today called “Posts waiting to happen”. If you see anything here its because it may be relevant for some to ready, but I’m not happy to list it as a complete entry. This will also be a category for me to place ‘draft’ and ‘future’ status posts. These types of post doesn’t show on the website but placing them here will let me see easily the things I’ve started and not finished. All told, this is like a scrap book of ideas section, some things you’ll be able to see and some you wont.

  • My mark on the web server scene

    rackspacelogo.gifIt’s official – my web server occupies 0.00099% of the entire London datacentre floor space. Calculated courtesy of an email from Rackspace Managed Hosting who gave the total floor area of London datacentres as 303,030 Sq Feet.

    Now you know that, you can carry on with your day with a knowing smile 🙂

  • The Australian company that wishes it was American?

    If you want to buy an Australian Domain name, you can only buy it through one company, www.melbourneit.com. Look closely at their domain name price structure and you’ll notice they rates are in US Dollars and not Australian Dollars! Prices for hosting are in AUD though, but I can’t think why they’d charge in USD for the names.
