As discussed last week, I’ve decided to switch my web hosting from a company located in Jakarta, to Dreamhost.com. I’ve had a number of headaches, billing issues, downtime, horrible communication, etc, not to mention the price/benefit ratio is absurd. Here’s an example of what the Indonesian host offers: 4 GB space + 40 GB bandwidth = $45 / month 1 GB space + 15 GB bandwidth = $14 / month 100 MB space + 3 GB bandwidth = $5 /Read more

I miss autumn and spring the most – not so much snow, slush,Read more
The Spoiled Weighlifter
Ok, in response to Shaky’s questions about fitness and working out, I’ll post more answers – in a new post as they revolve more around the workout rather than the diet aspect. What time do you work out? Are you able to go at the same time each day? I’m not much of a morning person, therefore I pretty much workout in the late afternoon/early evening.
