    A note about "Verified Providers"

    I like some of the ideas on making the "Verified Provider" group a means for a resource on providers, pooling the information users might need to reach a balanced decision about purchasing. Provided its built in a way which can't be cheated. However, that could require heavier work in the...

    Tool for checking my website load time for different areas of the world?

    GTMetrix is really helpful, but I didn't think it did different locations, but perhaps I just wasn't looking last time I used it. Webpagetest is good, but, I've found it be slow, or more often inaccurate than others - but that might just be down to popularity and high load on their part...

    (high res) Laptop advice (on budget)

    /Mildly offtopic I recently bought a HP Chromebook 11; and while it wouldn't really fit your needs in the original post, I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised at how much use I've got out of it. The build quality is great for £150-00 I paid, reminiscent of the old plastic MacBooks, and...

    Gatsby.im discontinued

    It seems that Elliot has discontinued his WordPress hosting service http://gatsby.im/   It's a real shame, as it was an awesome service - but I can appreciate that it is not always possible to perpetually run a free service.   Anyway, thanks Elliot for the great service provided, and best...

    Zendesk worst piece of shit

    I've never had to wait too long for support. For some queries, they do have operating hours - so you might have to wait until they're next open. Otherwise, it's normally very high quality, fast support from those guys.

    Zendesk worst piece of shit

    We used ZenDesk for over a year, and found it to be a really amazing piece of software. We've recently tried out their "help center" upgrade to the client-end, and couldn't get on with it - or at least couldn't get used to it. The good thing is that you can request (even as a new user) to change...

    Post your workspace/workarea/job sites :D

    I never used to, but before I moved, I had a stereo system set up between the two - and I've got used to having the gap :)

    Windows users

    SecureCRT is great too. The reason I mention KiTTY is that before 08/13, PuTTY hadn't received any more updates or features (and still has only had 1 bugfix issued since then), and KiTTY continued the development with regular bugfixes and some nice additional features...

    POLL: SSL for vpsBoard. Optional or forced site-wide?

    Not having that issue here with Chrome vs FF.

    Windows users

    AntiVirus: MSE or NOD32, and Malwarebytes Office: LibreOffice Mail: Thunderbird is still good Archives: 7zip FTP/SCP: WinSCP SSH: mRemoteNG and KiTTY (PuTTY fork) Text Editor: NP++ is still good, SublimeText is awesome, and the port of Geany is quite nice.  Music: I now use Spotify for my...

    How do you like your steak cooked?

    Rare or Medium Rare is my choice. I don't eat anything more cooked than Medium Rare.

    SMS (Text) in and out software for business

    +1 for Twilio. I've also heard good things about Tropo, but haven't tried them myself properly yet.

    Captain Phillips

    Same here. Irrespective of whether it's true or not, it was a great movie - one of my favorites for this year!  It's a shame if it's not depicted honestly - but then, I would never call a movie a source of 100% fact.

    Google Web Designer

    I just stumbled along the Google Web Designer software, though the current version is more ad-orientated. Not sure if it's quite for me, but someone might find it useful :) https://www.google.com/webdesigner/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHj7fqbNaQw

    Anyone been to the theatre lately?

    Indeed; Though both "we're the millers" and "The internship" were both good films :P

    Anyone been to the theatre lately?

    Hey there guys! Thought it might be worthwhile seeing if there are any other theatre-goers here on VPSBoard. I don't know what it is, perhaps its being an ex-English Literature student, buy I just find there is something amazing about the theatre - definitely far more enjoyable than going to...
