I'm away till Friday. Don't bother trying to email/IM/IRC me urgently. I won't be there.

Yeah, I'm going away on holiday, from the 8th till the 15th. See ya later, suck0rz.

Don't go to Northern Finland in the summer.

Why?

• The weather is identical to that of home
• All there is is endless, empty roads to pine or birch trees by the side, with the occasional lake
• It rains. It rains a lot
• There's nothing to do (except read several thousand pages)
• You get bored
• You can't go on walks because it rains

Here is a photo of what all of Finland north of the Arctic Circle looks like:

After the downtime in the last week, I'm closer to moving hosts than ever, while nothing is certin, it seems as if I'll be moving to ithium sometime in my Easter holidays (26th March till 19th April), I can immediately discount the first week, as I'm away on holiday in Majorca. The downtime was caused by my host having problems changing host.

I brought all of my websites back online over a period of a couple of days, doing each MySQL table at a time, and adding the subdomain when the site was ready to go back online, however, now everything is back online, it's faster than ever.

When I do move to ithium, they'll be almost no downtime, because I'll get the account, upload all my files, get all the MySQL databases ready, so as soon as the DNS changes, we'll be on a different server. It should also reduce the amount of downtime normally, which is good for both me and you :). It also allows me to properly start one of the projects I never really started, Speed PHP, as my current host doesn't have enough permissions on the server (only having a reseller acount) to do what is needed, however, I'll give you more on Speed PHP at a later date.

Also, almost all development of everything has come to a stop, as I've got other, more important things to do, like relax, after spending a couple of months of web developing. I personally recommend Gran Tourismo 4, brilliant game ;). On a more serious note, I do have real things to do, which need to be done.

Apart from that, there's little to say, apart from the fact I've quitely put version 2 of my wishlist online :). Remember, it's my birthday on the 20th April (yep, first day of term, aren't I lucky ;)). At least something to smile about has happened :P
