TracSpace: Worst Web Host Ever!

For the past four months, I have been hosted by TracSpace. Just like any web hosting service, there were ups and downs, but with them, it’s mostly downs. I planned to move to a new web hosting service in February, but I was too busy with work that I stuck with them. I paid for my March subscription on February 26, then on the last day of February, all my websites were down. Until a few hours ago.

I sent them at least two tickets, yes, they responded after a few hours. Their LIVE chat is never online. I responded to their tickets so many times with questions as to when the server will be fixed. There was also a time that their server failed and all our websites disappeared. They had no backups to help us restore everything.

Their first email has this explanation:

We are ware of this issue and for the past 4 hours we’ve been working for the server problem. The main reason it was all down due to kernel panic. We are still updating it up to this moment. We really apologize for this issue. (view screenshot)

A certain David Velasco promised a credit discount to my next invoice, which I don’t expect to come anymore, since their website is already down since March 8. I have sent many emails that I didn’t care about a refund, but, they don’t respond to the emails anymore.

TracSpace is really the worst web hosting ever! I wish the owner of this service gets bitten by karma BIG TIME.

Autoplay Repair Wizard

For the past few weeks, I have noticed that when I insert a CD or DVD, my computer doesn’t autoplay it. I didn’t try to fix it, I thought it would be gone when I do a restart, but it never repaired itself.

Today, I finally decided to find a fix for it. One actually exists at Microsoft.com. If you’re having this same issue, just download the Autoplay Fix. Run it. Follow the click throughs, and your computer is cured! No restart needed.

Have you ever heard about gold coins? I came across this website Gold Coins Gain and I was actually attracted with all the gold I saw from the main page. Yes, gold coins, those were. Apparently, the people behind the website are world’s finest precious metal asset managers.

I wonder if gold coins are actually great investments. I mean, when you here gold, you think valuable. They say that gold is right for any

iPod App: Lyrical

I found a really cool iPod App today, and best of all, it’s free! It’s called Lyrical. Basically, what it does is, find the lyrics of the current song playing on your iPod. I love it! I don’t have to update my tags to add lyrics to each song. I just have to run the app, play my music, and sing!

Find out more about Lyrical at Clink Apps.

The Sims 3

Who is not excited for The Sims 3? Ever since I’ve heard the buzz about The Sims 3, I counted the days until its official release date. I haven’t bought it yet, but, I will. I’ve been playing The Sims for years now and I’ve always enjoyed it. The part that I enjoy the most is creating houses. Adding details to the entire lot is entertaining for me.

Once I get my hands on this new game, I will write a The Sims 3 review.

PDF Reader for PSP

I really find Bookr quite useful, as I love reading eBooks. I think it’s the only one of its kind right now.

Features:

  • Added support for PDF files with Chinese, Japanese and Korean text
  • Added a memory usage counter
  • Added single line scroll for the analog pad in the text viewer
  • Bookr will now try to block images from loading in PDF files when it is runing low on memory
  • Fixed many memory leaks in the image loader for PDF files. Bookr can load and display PDF files with more images than before.
  • Fixed memory leaks releasing the PDF viewer singleton Restored full page scroll with cursor buttons
  • Fixed font corruption for large font sizes in the text viewer
  • Fixed page positions in the text viewer after changing the font size and/or font rotation. Bookmarks for text files are not compatible with older releases.

I am still using v.0.7.1 release and it works just fine. You may download it here.

I’ve forgotten about this blog, I suppose. I haven’t blogged for months. It’s a great thing that I discovered this plugin, which enables me to microblog on the go. I will update this blog more and more in the coming days.

WordPress 2.7.1

WordPress 2.7 is the best so far. Well, since it’s the latest, it should be. Upgrading to 2.7.1 was a breeze! I only clicked one button for a 1-minute or less upgrade.

It’s a great thing that I do not have to upload WordPress 2.7.1 files manually. I hope there won’t be any more updates soon. Let this stay for a few months. Ha!
