3G is not 3G it’s Dial Up

Well I am spending the week with out DSL. Which means I am leaning on my iPhone 4 for most of my needs. I can pretty much do most things I need to do for server con-figs from my phone. The only issue I am having is uploading a file in the browser from my phone.

I am using USB Drive app to get files from my PC to my phone so that I can send out invoices. That is simple, it’s just uploading a file that I need to figure out.

You might ask, well why don’t you just tether your iPhone to your computer. Well here at my desk the coverage is very spotty. My iPhone sits and bounces from 3G to Edge and then back again. That gets me no where, not to mention that I would go over my 2GB cap in the first ten minutes.

Hopefully the modem will show up tomorrow and I will not be waiting until Friday for delivery.

archive those old files

Like the fourth of July Marks the day you are suppose to change the battery in the smoke detector, I find myself cleaning out old files around the end of the year.

Take all the files you do not need on the server off and clean up the web server too.

Stay In Doors it's windy.

Stay indoors.

Main Routers Down at Provider

Currently Main Routers have failed at our provider. I will post an update the moment there is an update.

Chrome Market Place - APPS I love it

I get it. The Chrome Market place is a web store. What I am really grasping onto is the entire cloud concept.

I just found the OnAir App. The ability to subscribe to my shows audio and video in an app and then watch them right in the browser.

I just hope I never have to go lover than my current 6 meg connection.

Another Hosted Emails Post

So most people know that I rave about using Google for Hosted Domains Email system.

Here is another reason I love them so:

When you are moving a site from one server to another, you often have to take into account the users email that is associated with the domain. When you are hosted with the GOOG you leave all those MX records alone because you are pointing all your mail to them.

This just makes things a breeze when moving a client from a testing phase to a live phase or when upgrading servers.

Database Issues on Main Server

We are currently having an issue with our main server were sites with hosted x-carts are currently un-reachable.

All Data is safe as we are currently just unable to route to them.

I will post a message when this issue has cleared.
