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!

a quick way to turn around a great weekend is right before your eyes:

To come out of your office at 7pm after a very hard day of work, and to see your car window smashed and your valuables gone. This happened in the supposedly safe suburb of woburn ma. today i am really sad and disappointed. it is only my second week at this job, and to have this happen right there is ….. sigh

I’ve read that it is a good idea to post the Serial Number of your GPS unit if it is ever stolen. That way, if it pops up on Ebay or Craigslist for sale, someone can google for the serial number.

Manufacturer: Tom Tom
Model: TomTom One
Serial Number: KHXPC 6CZA8 F36VA
Stolen on 12/3/07 in Woburn, MA

I know it would be naive to imagine it being recovered, but at least this way someone might have a hard time selling it.

Just wish I could escape all of these problems and burdens. Just for a few days of vacation and freedom. I’m so tired of all of this. No one is here to help out. The weekend and all its fun is gone, as well as my friends who got back into their airplanes and left.
