I need a new web host. Digitalspace got bought by Jumpline, and they’ve messed everything up. SSH is a joke, and I can’t even send emails using their SMTP server. My parents have an email account on mudman.us, and they also can’t send anything. I can get mail from MSOE & Gmail via POP, so I know it’s not my problem. The phone support is pretty worthless. So, I implore you, my 3 readers, if you know of a good host that’s *NIX based and supports PHP4/5, MySQL, allows a legitimate ssh connection, and provides “catch-all” email functionality for less than $10 per month, leave it in a comment.

My 360 arrived in Dallas yesterday, but M$’s site still says “Empty box shipped to customer”. Roo mentioned that after M$ extended their 3-red-lights-of-death warranty to 3 years, the repair wait time went from a few days to a few weeks. Poo.
Apple updated iLife & iWork. iLife 08 brings a brand spankin’ new version of iMovie…but people are bitching that it’s too easy to use, so Apple is now allowing purchasers of iLife 08 to download iMovie 6 HD. I’ve only played with iPhoto, and its updates are pretty slick. The “event” idea is a good one, and the splitting/merging of events is really simple. If you don’t like “events”, just hit “Photos” in the left column, and it’s back to the old iPhoto view. iWork’s Pages & Keynote got expected updates, but new to the iWork package is Numbers – Apple’s fledgling spreadsheet app. It’s missing certain basic functionality, but it’s a very slick app. One of those apps for OSX that makes me wish I was back in school to use spreadsheets again.
I’ve gone back to my SLVR. Greg will be happy. I just got fed up with carrying the BlackBrickBerry around.
