Were off for a hectic start

in 2009 it would seem. Like i wrote in the previous post, we sold our apartment in Risskov. And were preparing to move to a house. The thing is though, the house is around 70 km away.

So just as were moving house, were moving our daughter from one daycare center to another as well. That will most likely be a tough move for her, but its for her good in the long run anyways. It will be such much better in time when she starts wanting to run around, we will actually have our own garden instead of a concrete balcony.

During the past week i also changed my hosting setup a bit, i used to host my blog, and every other web page i host, on my own server here @home on my DSL. But as were about to move, and i have no clue how long i will be offline, i decided to “outsource” all my hosting, and searching for a web host i found this absolute pearl called Gigahost.dk great concept that suits my needs perfectly.

As for my mail server, which is the same physical server, its not so movable as a hosted exchange server costs a freaking fortune. So i might end up either temporary using the mail ability on the gigahost solution, or accept a friends offer to have my server put on a fiber connection for the time being. I haven’t decided on that yet.

HTC Touch Diamond

Yes, im getting one. I’m totally mad about it, and i don’t even have it yet.

Its nicknamed “iPhone killer” i don’t know if its true, but the few pros/cons im aware of are:

Diamond can send & receive MMS, iPhone can not. Diamond can be used to view Java & Flash in the browser, iPhone can not. Diamond can dial in via VPN to a company’s network, iPhone can not. Diamond uses windows mobile 6.1, iPhone uses MacOS .. that’s a good thing for a guy like me, who’s got hes own exchange server etc. And, even if iPhone can do some of these things, its probably gonna be with 3rd party applications =/

Anyways, its on its way to me, and once i get it, i will try to make a tiny “review” of it :) Till then, enjoy this presentation video of the HTC Touch Diamond!

Edited August 23rd 2011, video link removed as its a 404.

Time to dive!

This is actually more a reminder to my self, but i seriously need to get my ass in gear, and get diving soon. Staying above water for months make my mind all fucked up =/

So, within the next 2 weekends, i need to go diving. Preferably SCUBA diving, otherwise i will have to settle for some free diving along the coast of Djursland!

Also, as for hardware, I just got some new parts for my H2O cooling, like a bigger reservoir and some new tubing. So time to pull out that darn air pushing fan, and replace it with my water cooling kit again =) That should allow me to overclock my q6600 back to around 3.6GHz.

In other news, i actually bought some software, i bought NOD32 Anti virus program. Haven’t found anything yet, and probably will not since my hardware firewall already scans everything vital as it comes through =)
