Journal Journal: Web Hosting

I have been looking for somewhere to host my website. I have been with a company before that has incredible deals, however I am looking for other companies. I ask you, the slashdot crowd, and of those who read my journal, where you would recommend to host your site? I am looking for a cheap, under $10 a month, with a fair amount of bandwidth, db, and the like. Any recommendations? Suggestions?

Journal Journal: Bloody f**k

So anyway, last night I decide to turn off the old compy for a bit of a rest. It actually helps me get work done because I cannot be distracted as easily. Okay, simple enough, however when I finish my work early I decide I should play a bit of a Superpowers 2 (see earlier post) then go to read. However, I turn on my computer, and guess what happens, MOST OF MY PROGRAMS ARE GONE!! I mean really gone. I decide to check the C:\Program Files and they are aren't there. I check the Recycle Bin, gone. I am utterly confused and very ticked off because I had just lost soo much work. Okay, I calm down and try a system restore. It works, bringing back some of the programs, however, it gets worse. The computer starts to eat files. I am really panicing right now, I have stuff on here that isn't backed up. So for the next hour I am hustling around the house putting stuff onto the other computers I have in the house. After doing this, the computer is basically in self-destruct mode. I am now pretty ticked off. Then my computer just started to not work. I gave up and started to re-install windows. Now I am on the brutal path or re-installing everything. I seriously thought about getting LInux, however I don't have the time to do extensive reading about it. Any one have any suggestions?

Journal Journal: Moderation and World Domination

Every time I visit slashdot I seem to have Five more moderation points. I am pretty sure this is a normal thing, but do most users seem to get five moderation points every other day like I do? Heck, whenever I visit I sort of expect to have them now :S I also just discovered meta-moderation and boy is that fun :S I also just bought a great game called Superpowers 2. Okay, maybe you haven't heard good things about it, but I adore it. You control everything. I mean everything. You are the government. You control how it acts, how it moves, how it thinks, how it does everything. Seriously. There are a bajillion submenus with stats on everything avaliable. Tons of fun. Check it out http://www.superpower2game.com/ The only thing I found bad about it was that it took so long to get working because it kept crashing. I finally figured out I had to download the v1.4 patch which I had done so earlier but apparently this was a different one. Blah.

Journal Journal: Geek Trip

Hmm, why not use this journal? Why not? That is a good question why shouldn't I? So I am. Well I guess today I watched some Peter Davison Series 20. That is some good science fiction. And for that list that was published today about the top 50 sci-fi shows, Doctor Who is CLEARLY not #8. It is at least in the top 5.
