Four days to go!
(posted at 09:45PM GMT)

Yep, I have approximately 96 hours to go before Valentine's Day 2005!

I'm not particularly looking forward to it as I doubt I'm No. 1 on anybodys' list of potential recipients for a Valentine card or gift - on the other hand, I have only sent one Valentine to a rather special member of the opposite sex.

It wasn't a particularly difficult decision as to who the lucky recipient was going to be either :-)

(at long last... a non-techie post about a non-techie subject... that hasn't happened since... oooh.... ever ?)

It lives!
(posted at 08:59PM GMT)

Today, after several months of procuring various server components and assessing co-lo providers on lots of different criteria, I installed arkanoid.spilsby.net into a rack belonging to Black Cat Networks in the Memaco House datacenter owned and operated by Redbus Interhouse.

When I started Spilsby Internet Solutions back in 1999, I never thought I would get enough hosting customers to justify the cost of purchasing and operating two dedicated servers let alone three (two at The Planet, Texas and of course, this one).

I guess it just goes to show exactly how much business you can get purely by advertising via word-of-mouth!
