Sorry of the downtime today!

Posted on 21 June 2006 by Lord Brar

Site5 has lately been screwing it up hard.. really-really hard! And today’s downtime was just another in that long list of screw-ups. My contract with Site5 is about to expire in a few days and I ain’t renewing it.

So what is gonna be StreetLessons’ new home? Well, a spankin’ new VPS at ServInt where it is going to live with its brothers and sisters… over 140 of them right now and happily growing each day. :p

Lessons Learnt — Never get locked up in long contracts with any company no matter how hard they try to lock you in. It doesn’t matter what their past reputation has been (Site5 has always been the poster boy of hosting companies) they can always go down the drain.

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
