EasyCGI SUCKS
After a week of Hindoogle being down, along with all of my homework, music, and blog, I finally switched to a new web host.
EasyCGI, who i was a loyal customer of for 3+ years, apparently sold out to a shitty company, and decided to “migrate” all of its users from perfectly good Windows 2003 servers to some other configuration. They didn’t test anything, and put up a half-ass control panel. Their support staff gives answers like “Did you refresh your browser?” when i tell them that my entire MySQL database is inaccessible. They did an excellent job copying files (hooray) to the new server, but screwed up all the database stuff.
Anyway, I suppose I’m lucky because nothing on hindoogle generates any money, and downtime is a nuisance and not a business loss. I feel bad for other EasyCGI customers that relied upon them for business. Is this any way to treat longtime customers?
I Joined eApps.com , per Jason’s recommendation, and am _VERY_ satisfied. I can start putting up my Ruby on Rails business ideas here :)
This site is currently hosted by Eapps.com. They are a VERY good host, not a single day of downtime since November 2008. They promptly and properly answer all of my questions. I have a Linux private VPS for $11 a month, which is a steal. VPS is far superior to shared windows hosting. If you want to earn me a free month, please click this link to sign up with eapps and list “Rajat Banerjee” as your referrer. Thanks I appreciate it!
“President Bush announced the capture of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, identified as the alleged No. 3 man in Al Qaeda’s terrorist hierarchy. Bush called him a "major facilitator and chief planner for the Al Qaeda network" and said the strike was a "critical victory in the war on terror." However, on May 8, it was revealed that al-Libbi was actually an operative of little consequence. One past associate of Osama bin Laden’s was amused by al-Libbi’s capture, saying, "What I remember of him is, he used to make the coffee and do the photocopying."” — President Bush, May 5, 2005
Sarah Palin or Tina Fey? Listen to Sound Bytes and Guess
Are these sound bytes from Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin? Or from Comedian Tina Fey? These days it is incredibly difficult to differentiate.
Listen for yourself, jot down your answers, and see if you are right.

Once you’ve had a moment to consider, please think hard about putting this woman into office. She seems to embody some of the values Americans seek, but like they always say in this town, You can’t polish a turd.

obi-wan
i keep thinking, what if Obi-Wan Kenobi had killed Anakin Skywalker on the lava planet of Mustafar? Anakin symbolized Obi-Wan’s weakness and failures. Had Obi-Wan killed Anakin when it was obvious that he’d failed as a Anakin’s instructor and Anakin had crossed to the dark side, the galaxy would have been changed forever. Darth Sidious would not have gotten his apprentice, and the Jedi knights would have survived to this date.
When Obi-Wan had the opportunity to kill Anakin, he should have taken it. Instead he demonstrated the Jedi’s legendary mercy. But perhaps it was actually vindictiveness, as Anakin smoldered on the ground beside his severed limbs. Whatever, Obiwan should have just done it.

In other news, me and my hottie are going to San Fran for new years, and planning to go to London in April. The long distance is extremely hard and I miss her very much. I think the rewards later on may make up for some of it.
