OK, not sure how this will affects my sites, but I have finally been moved to a Dreamhost Private Server.
I am starting at the lowest level, hoping this is all my sites need. But if I need more resources I can easily add from the Dreamhost web panel.
Was a few hiccoughs during the setup as DH network was slow running, but they were sorting the move. All sorted now.
Any problems noticed, please use my contact form.
OK, I said I wouldn’t get an iPod for a long while, but have finally joined the iPod community. It’s not a new machine, but was from shop that buys & sells them second-hand.
The model I purchased was a Blue 2nd generation iPod Nano with 4Gb of storage.
I have already almost filled the unit with my stuff.
I started with Pink Floyd’s - Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd, the some other stuff including Ministry of Sound, M-People, Mike Oldfield & Jean Michel Jarre albums.
To do with Amateur Radio I added a Morse Code tuition course, but realised this would be a problem when I used the random shuffle feature. A program was soon found and the files converted to AudioBook format. This took over an hour, but now happily enjoying my morse training.
Other features have also been put to use, including my contacts, and calendar events.
So if it’s good enough for the Queen, then should be good enough for me to do a Christmas Message.
But no, I won’t talk about the usual political drivel. No, I will use this to see how my life has been this past 12 months & what the next 12 may bring.
2007 is almost over. Whilst I am getting on OK at my new office (even 18 months it’s still not like I belong), I am hoping it’s merely a stepping stone onto better things. I even got my best performance mark I have (& could get) but still I am not sure how long I will remain.
So Home & Family. This year the last of my sisters moved out. I feel I should point out that I have lived away from home for a number of years, but lack of work drew me home nearly 10 years ago. I plan on moving to the Isle of Wight when finances allow.
Which brings of neatly to Finances. With say rises & bonuses this year I feel a bit more in control of my own money. Even put a few things back no direct-debit.
2008 should be a year of change for me. 10 years in my job, which brings more leave (30 days annual instead of 25). Hopefully can look seriously at moving to next pay level. May also look into driving lessons when debt is gone.
On the radio side hoping to go away in time for the CQ WPX to France to operate. It may even increase my DXCC tally. Well I can hope.
Finally looking at saving for a nice holiday. Started saving with some bonus vouchers from work. May suggest that people get me holiday vouchers instead of presents from now onwards.
Well that’s enough of a waffle for now. Back to watching some for films on my films page.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my readers.
I have now moved the old post to http://www.gadget17.co.uk/films/ as I make regular changes. This due to 1 Christmas present and the Amazon DVD rental service.
* Update:- Top 15 films on the list I have now watched as of 22/01/08.
