    Black Friday and Cyber Monday predicitions.

    Probably can't legally make 'bets' on here for offers we suspect to see, but I'm calling this out now. Somewhere between the timeframe of Black Friday and Cyber Monday we will see a 10GB RAM VPS, OpenVZ (of course), likely being offered from Buffalo. I do not doubt we will see 6-8GB RAM VPSes...

    Understanding IP Block allocation

    This is cross posted from WHT with permission from the original poster there. While most of us likely know or look it up in a pinch, I thought it'd be nice to have here for reference too. When you read someone say, "I need a server with a /XX block of IPs" or talking about a provider acquiring a...

    Paleo diet

    Was just reading up on that today. I think I could afford to drop 20-30 lbs. I used to be under my healthy weight for my age and heigth, but now I'm a bit over it. Would like to diet + getting a workout bench. Keto seems nice because I can still eat food that I find palatable and pleasing, for...

    Quiting smoking.

    Yeah, but he can't go 20 minutes without one. It didn't make me crave them, that's for sure. Its still too early to say, but I'd like to imagine I got this kicked now. I've been around cigarettes and have note bummed one, I've been drinking without smoking one (though I did puff on a cigar)...

    SecureDragon to discontinue VPN service.

    Just got this email from SecureDragon earlier: I had forgotten I had a SecureDragon VPN to be honest, but I see that 2 minutes after this email was sent to me I got refunded $9 from a past payment. What was the issue with the VPN software? I also use VPN.SH, and am wondering if they use the...

    IPv4 Shortage, Blame Idiots like ColoCrossing.

    To be fair, and as I told you on Skype when you asked me to delete his threads... This is the first one in a while for him. He has cut back significantly. I've not seen one in a while. It's not hard to understand why someone would be interested in keeping tabs on a company that has had proven...

    IPv4 Shortage, Blame Idiots like ColoCrossing.

    Am I the only one who prefers Windows XP (sp3) if I've got to use Windows? Seriously, it's the only Windows OS I like, and is the last one I am familiar with the most. My main gripe with IPv4 are these bullshit providers, like SSDVPS, who offer 5 IPv4's with a $7/mo 1GB RAM package. It's clear...

    Post your workspace/workarea/job sites :D

    Got a new (free) wood desk yesterday. I need to sand it and paint it, but I may try to make it replace this one. We'll see :)

    Site Downtime November 20, 2013

    No idea. Waiting to hear back from BuyVM. The site was never down for -me-, so I wasn't impacted. Seems to be regional or networking related for their filtered IPs. Anyhow, I switched filtering to x4b so it appears it's working.

    World's Tallest, Fastest, water slide Schlitterbahn Kansas City

    FWIW, I have stood in line for that roller coaster many times. My ex liked going to amusement parks. I didn't like riding most the rides. So I'd keep her company in line and then hold her purse for her at the exit like a chump :P She talked me into riding some non-crazy rides, I've ridden the...

    GetKVM_Ash back with yet another VPS brand

    I thought it was pretty standard procedure in this industry that when you sell a company, you sign an agreement that you will not start a new company in X amount of time. Usually a year or more.

    Anyone have an LG Smart-TV? Possibly privacy concern. LG Smart TVs logging USB filenames and viewing

    Have you guys checked to see if your 'superior' product is doing the same thing as the LG? Just because the article doesn't mention other TVs, doesn't mean they're not doing it. It'd be worth investigating, I think.

    World's Tallest, Fastest, water slide Schlitterbahn Kansas City

    I hate rollercoasters. No fun at all. But I LOVE water parks. Water slides don't bother me, as they're all pretty simple. No man man machine spinning you upside down or whipping you around on some ancient wooden track. Just water, a slide, and gravity. Can't really mess that up too much. In...

    VBulletin.com got jacked!

    Sure, but not many I'd use. Look at all the issues Vanilla had. There is that... err, I can't remember. The 'other one' that was being hyped up but it's still too early. It looks like Vanilla, but likely better. Just too early to adopt it. I like keeping things simple to a degree, but also...

    Any Ruby fans?

    wlanboy does, I believe. I think he's done a couple scripts for vpsB that are in Ruby. I'd pick at his brain a bit. I used to play around with 'Hackety Hack' ( http://hackety.com/  ) which introduced me to Ruby. But at the time I was also doing, 'Learn Python the Hard Way' and other stuff so...
