Yesterday i posted about SimpleCDN and talked about the price of their data structure. Any file between 0 and 1mb was charged 1 credit, which works out roughly at $1 (unless you buy in bulk). Well, today i was uploading some files for testing, and noticed i was only getting charged 0.1 credit for small [...]

So, I finally got my SQL server up and running for MotorLoggr. Still nothing there, but if you would like to play with an Alpha version, drop me a mail at motorloggr@gmail.com. Anyway, I have been playing with some cool stuff for the last while, and I though I should post some interesting links.

So, a couple of months ago, I replaced my Media Center PC with a Sky HD box, an Apple TV and an XBox 360. Well, in reality, the XBox 360 was used to connect to the old Media Center, so it wasn’t a replacement.
Anyway, over the last couple of months I have been missing some [...]

So, the website has been running slow for the last while. its a mix of it sitting on a machine that is quite overloaded, and has a serious lack of ram. Well, hopefully the problem will be solved soon. I am looking at Dedicated servers from a company called OVH who are managing to offer [...]

So, one thing that i have noticed over the last couple of months is how slow my blog has become. it may be because the machine that is hosting the blog is running slower than it should be. it could be the data backend. it could (but hopefully isent) the ISA server sitting infront of [...]
