Some one in London feel like making a house call?

Is it OK if I order room service?  The address is a hotel http://www.sydneyhousechelsea.co.uk/

Sure and make sure you charge it to that guy.

So much for that $3 / year VPS!

At least they didn't ask for a passport.

The new thing will be DNA samples and rectal exams.

Dunno, I just find it amusing when VPS Providers disallow 'proxies/VPNs' during sign-up (as if 'directly' connecting to the internet isn't already a proxy) ...but allow the VPS to be used as one? What is a VPS if not a proxy of sorts regardless of use?

"You can have this proxy of ours but only if you don't use one to acquire it."

Yeah, okay...

(Bonus points: I didn't even use a pseudonymous name or address... 'proxies' be damned)

Ordering hosting via proxy is like going to the bank with a mask on your face, try and see how that works out for you.

I get you may want to hide your identity online, but some providers do not wish not knowing who you are since you'll be hosting materials on their network, possible illegal materials, for which they can be held accountable for... so yeah, not allowing signup via proxy makes a lot of sense.

My hood.  Taken about an hour ago by one of the local photogs.

My hood, I suppose.  Taken by me, with my phone's crappy camera.

That looks so peaceful... even though I love the city life, sometimes I miss the quietness and calmness of such places ^

Yay, finally back home after 4 weeks of out of town job training. I start another 4 weeks of local job training on Tuesday. Good to be back home for good now and sleeping in my own home.

Shouldn't that be your pasture?

Except I didn't hide or falsify my identity, that's what I found amusing about it. I used my name and connected through one of the business servers I rent with OVH (tied to my business address).

I doubt the support staff cared either, seemed more like mindless acquiescence to misfiring MaxMind algorithms. Bless the infallible fraud checking robot!
