Hosting…

I recently changed servers (actually, the change is not yet finished). I had a Dedibox (for almost a year) and I recently got an extra server: a Gandi virtual dedicated server, to have two servers for 43,05 € (35.87 € (for Dedibox) + 7,18 € (for Gandi)) a month. I had not had any problem with the Dedibox for all the time I had it. The Gandi server was sometimes a bit slow (The risk with numerous virtualization slots in one physical server) but for the price I paid, it was more than enough. Then I decided to take two Kimsufi servers, instead of the Dedibox and Gandi, for a total cost of 47,82 € a month. It took Ovh nearly a week to set them up, but I was happy to see that there were no problems at all but the delay (I heard that Ovh hadn’t a very good reputation, so I was on my guard, even if I wanted to form my own opinion). Now I’m reassured, all is going good, and I pay a little more (4,77 € a month) for servers which offer much better performance (especially in terms of disk space and international peering).

The only one problem with Dedibox is cancellation : you need to send a mail with return receipt to proxad, which costs money and takes time. Overall, I’m satisfied by both Dedibox and Kimsufi, but since Kimsufi are cheaper, my choice’s made.

Firefox 3 Beta (?) 5

After a short while spent (wasted?) to configure this blog, to correct the mistakes left in the template by Kapikua, and to add some other mistakes by myself; I found the time to start an article on Firefox 3 Beta 5. Why? Because I think this soft is awesome. Yes, ok, it is a beta. But, this beta is more stable than Firefox 2. And, that’s not all. It’s very prettier, faster (they fix a lot of memory leaks), more ergonomic, has an awesome zooming functionality… in severe ways: Ff 3 beta 5 is better. So, we could just ask ourselves why is it still called a “beta”.

The only answer I found is: “The gold release will completly overwhelm I.E. and other browsers”. This might be The browser we are waitin’ for.

Hello world!

And… Yeah. I start a blog. Once again. No, I’ve nothing more to tell than before, but… This time, I’ve started a blog, not to just use and enjoy (since I looked at its code, I stopped to enjoy it) wordpress. It’s because, from time to time, I’ve things to write, to share, to note. And I’ve think that it could be cool to have such a nice tool, to *log* (cause that’s the first purpose of this kind of tool, actually) all that stuff.

And why do I choose to do it in English? First, I need to improve my skills in this marvelous language. Then, I’ve found no reason to write in french: the very most of people who could be interested in this log can read English (or, since I write it, Engrish, sorry). And, do not hesitate to correct me if you see mistakes (thanks for any help).

See you. o/

N.B.: I will edit and correct my posts as time goes, and as my english will (I hope) improve.
