I was just browsing some Sonic figures, as later on id’s like to get me one, when I spotted these, it’s basically the same exact statue, but one seller believed they are so rare they should command and almost 2K price tag, and another who is a more realistic one. Love also the fact the…

F…… Brexit !
So the UK people have voted to leave the EU I am sure that most people who did so have no idea of the impact of such a decision will have on them, but thats their problem, I am only considering the impact this will have on my own day to day. And the first…
Congrats, you got ONE client ?
So a few months ago one of our competitors won a contract over us (OnApp), and since then they won’t stop bragging about it, heck it’s mentioned on almost every PR they do, in the meantime we closing contracts daily and winning many others including against the same company.

Twitter killing Blogs ?
I try to blog at least two or tree times per month, when something worth remember later on or worth mentioning, I dont blog for others, instead I blog for myself, on stuff I take pleasure reading years later and recalling on a specific event, situation or purchase. But for the past year I have…
Hosting Fraud .. whats the point ?
I was looking thru our logs today for (VPS.NET) sales, and found out that in for each successful sale, our fraud system stops on average 7.5 other sales from going thru.

Cubans ?
Once in a while I do enjoy the occasional Cigar, when I lived in the US I was allways disappnted I could not get hold (legitimally at least) of Cuban cigars. I remember the US cigar affictionado magazine Propaganda for the south American variety as a better alternative (BS !!!) So as I wait for…
Do you want fries with that VPS ?
I was reading recently a post on WHT about a customer complaint that he paid $8 /month for a VPS with a certain host, and he was upset he only got 200Mhz per core on a quad core setup (800Mhz total), and not the “entire” cpu … ! That was the kind of post that…
Virgin First Class …..
When I bought my tickets today from Crewe to Euston I was made aware that due to track work there was no direct trains, so a 1:50 journey was to take 3:30. I decided then to upgrade to first class, since it would be quite a long trip. Big mistaque !!!! Not only I paid…
