2 yrs…hmmm….

2 years since I started blogging, things that have happened since then:

  • Got a car
  • Got 2 external HDs
  • Got a PDA
  • Got my own VPS
  • Learnt PHP
  • Wrote a PHP blogging engine, and scrapped it to do a rewrite, which I still haven’t started >.<
  • Got another laptop
  • Watched Smallville Seasons 1-7 and now following Season 8
  • Watched 1 ep of Psych and loved it. Now watched Season 1, watching Season 2 and following Season 3

Heh.

Prolly more things to add, but can’t think of ‘em now.

I’m now in my final year of Uni and my final year project is making an IRC client app for Android, written in Java. Should be interesting…

So far the GUI is almost done (*thanks the person who dreamt up using XML for constructing GUIs*), and the text parser is making good progress. \o/ Now a matter of working out how to add the text to the main window and separating channels with tabs. Wish me luck )

  1. Where’s your VPS hosted at? :O

  1. My main vps is with Linode.com but I have another one in the UK with Tagadab.com. Might do a review or something of ‘em both.

  1. Which one do you think is better? Linode or Tagadab?

  1. Linode for sure. They have much better control panel as well as direct access to the box for emergencies, e.g. networking broken, ssh down, etc. They also have a DNS for customers and their installs come with very little installed, which is great so you can install exactly what you need without other useless processes taking up the ram.

    Tagadab boxes have a lot of extras installed, which is annoying for me since I needed very few things running. But I needed a VPS in the UK and their pricing was fine for me and the £1 for testing the box was a nice touch. Their CP is very basic, just an option for setting the RDNS.

    Some of the stuff I had to remove from the Tagadab OS install can be seen here. A lot of useless crap like Java, Tomcat and GNOME apps.
