Web hosting and web services is something i hold close to my heart, i am very passionate about web hosting and the services involved there-in.
Although i dont agree with the following, i can see why the uk government choses to do so, from a bandwidth point of view.

The hosting of UK government sites such Job Centre Plus and the Pension Service in the US is a slap in the face to UK businesses, according to search engine optimisation firm NetCallidus. Routine research and analysis performed by the the company discovered a number of .gov.uk sites being hosted in Sunnyvale, California.

"At a time when the UK economy is teetering on the edge of a recession, this is an out and out insult," said Mark Furber, managing director of NetCallidus. "There is no good reason why this work should be given to another country. It might save a few pounds, but sends the wrong message about how much the government cares about British business."

So alot has changed in the past month, Iv moved house, changed jobs, lost alot of contacts and contracts. Got pissed at BT ALOT and drank quite a bit of beer.

I never thought i would say this, and don't get me wrong, because its great, but there is a life without the internet. Strange!

So iv had the internet back since Monday, i told people i would be back on Friday though, to let me get back into things without the hassle of stuff. Iv not get actauly managed to sit at my computer for more than 15 minutes yet though. This will all change soon though!

Iv still got two massive contracts i need to get finished, the people im working for understand my situation - either that or they just arnt shouting at me yet :P

Anyway, things are quite well with me, i should be back on top form very soon.
Ill get some nice pics of my new house up on flickr soon :] for now, enjoy me being a bed room rockstar to Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape.

P.S. Dear Nurofen, Count me in.

Oh interwebz, how i miss thee!

So i moved house and along with BT fecking up the transfer and then BT fecking up the phone line itself, things havent been going well.

However we are in the house, everything is well and the internet will be working at the end of the month (30th). So expect loads from then on.

Im really angry because BT have fecked up and didnt do a straight transfer i have went the entier month without internet meaning i have not been able to work and also lost a couple clients. For this, if your reading, im sorry, you will recieve money back and an apology email of course.

Expect me back soon, with loads of photos of new things :D
My brother is also moving to Dalgety Bay aswell, just round the corner from my house, so loads of pub trips will be in order soon!!!
