Goings on In The World of Marsh

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Well well well…

Havent been doing much recently (ha what a lie). Ive been absolutely swamped; i bought myself a new £200 suit which has made my bank balance plummit – ive also had to buy train tickets for myself and Fran for our new year trips etc so that was a fair old whack also.

Aside from money, ive been working my socks off on my assignments – ive had to do a critical write up of OpenID, and one for WiMAX – both of which are being done in conjunction with my dissertation – meaning i have NO time whatsoever free! Couple this with working 3 days a week until Xmas to pay for presents and yep, im fairly busy!

Ive also got an interview coming up in Cheltenham next week, so thats another 100 quid for hotel and train etc – so im a very busy boy!

In all my spare time, ive been updating VKernel.co.uk with some new articles – you should go and read em!

Hosting twist yet again

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Well, having decided to get rid of FastHost after no response to my ticket after 6 days of raising it, i recieved an email this morning telling me my domain had been renewed – how strange. At the moment its forwarding to smnet.vkernel.co.uk, with the hosting at FastHost doing absolutely nothing as far as im concerned- not exactly reliable to say the least. My aim now to get sam-marsh.net under my own control and do what i want with it.

FastHost are Terrible – New Home for SMNET

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Well, after 3 years as www.sam-marsh.net its time for a change. Ive migrated my personal blog onto the same hosting as my technical blog, as Fasthost, my personal blog hosting provider, are terrible.

Im pretty sure they have turned the lights off, left the servers and automatic billing systems on and just f’ked off. No reply on any support lines, nothing. Its terrible – they are the worst hosting company in history. UKHost4u on the other hand, are people i have nothing but good words for – great support and response time on tickets.

So for now, sam-marsh.net is smnet.vkernel.co.uk – until i can buy the domain again on the 16th December 2008 when it becomes free for all to buy (FastHost have like a 6 week default period after it needs re-registering, after which they lose it). Once i get that domain, i’ll point it back to this blog and hey presto we’re back to how we were before! Hurrah.
