Auckland is an amazingly beautiful place to live. Beautiful views, clean air, next to no litter in most places, nice cool weather… In a lot of ways, it reminds me of Vancouver, BC, but with more of a small town feel. Here are some more amazing views we had. From New Zealand From New...

Life in Auckland, New Zealand – the Early Days

We were in New Zealand for close to half a year. During that time, we were in Auckland. The first month, we stayed in a serviced apartment in the CBD (central business district), an area that’s quite hilly. And since we did a lot of walking… Yeah, I began to hate those hills. We...

A new adventure in New Zealand

Our View

…And Then There Was the Rackspace Saga…

Sunday, 12 December 2010

So I mentioned the awful awful awful service we’ve received from SLHost.com. Fahim and I decided that, as soon as our server was back up, we were going to move it to another hosting company. We’d decided on moving it to Rackspace. Fahim went to the Rackspace site and signed up for an account....

The SLHost Saga

Sunday, 12 December 2010
By

Fahim and I have had a VPS – virtual private server – with SLHost.com for a while. A year and a half, maybe two years? In the beginning, the service was good. The last half year, however, it’s gone downhill. Fast. We experienced some problems with the server about a half year ago, so...
