Time is an illusion

Today, when I logged onto the webserver where my domain is hosted, I got a pleasant surprise

NOTE: We have UPGRADED to debisn Sarge, also to a much faster
machine. So if you were prompted about your SSH key, that is
OK and to be expected. Thanks for acepting it. —

Over the years, Symonds.net has been more than sufficient for my hosting needs, and the support has been quick and efficient. However, with the recent server loads being high - I have been looking at other webhosts. And in fact, towards the end of last week, I had been researching on some good deals in hosting - and had shortlisted Dreamhost.com, and Site 5. I am particularly tempted to go with Site 5, they look pretty good, and have had some good things said about it by a few fellas at the Wordpress IRC channel on Freenode. Have’nt got down to registering with them yet, but let’s see.

Making this post with w.bloggar for the first time in ages. It looks pretty nice now, and has support for a LOT more blog-cms es and websites than before.

The weekend was pretty boring - the good stuff was watching soccer in the evening where the Chelsea - Arsenal match ended 1-0. The match was pretty lively, and Arsenal made some slick passing moves, but could’nt cap it off with good finishing. Chelsea created lot more chances, but the quality of their play was not close to the potential of a team which starts out with close to 90 million pounds sitting on the substitute bench. Though I am not exactly an Arsenal supporter, I liked their new signing Hleb - he’s good and creative. In other good news, Kimi Raikkonen won the inaugural F-1 race at Turkey. He should be happy, but prolly angry that Juan Pablo Montoya messed it up towards the end and allowed Fernando Alonso to squeak through to second place. Raikkonen still trails Alonso by 24 championship points.
