I combined my two previous servers (ISP#1 the mega provider and ISP#2 the reseller provider) on June 8th to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) system. Basically, it’s like a quarter of a real server and limits the CPU resources to 25%. Well .. in the past several weeks I have kept reaching these limits and my network was blinking out. Occassionally, you will come to a site of mine and see the old “default Kubrick” blog template.
Well - today I have upgraded everything to a dedicated server and things seem to still exist - so, that’s good!
I received my first EVDO (MTS Mobility) statement today. It is for the period June 29, 2007 until August 7, 2007 - and geesh that screws me up. First of all, this bill was for $145.77 allocated as follows:
Activation Fee (Jun29) - $35.00
Service (Jun29-Jul07) - $34.00
Service (Jul08-Aug07) - $60.00 (discounted from $90 for next three months)
PST 7% and GST 6% - $16.77
>> Total $145.77
* Yup. Still at Victoria Beach …
There was a craft sale today and naturally we had to go. I made a beeline for the gourmet food mix and meat spices, and my wife makes a beeline for the jewelry. Afterwards, we meet at the artists corner to browse the original artworks, prints and pictures that closely resemble a view from our lakefront cottage.
Well .. today there was a picture painted on our neighbor’s deck and the view could have been from our front deck .. we had to have it. But, I didn’t have enough cash on me.
The above picture was taken last night, in the gazebo - of my new laptop computer (on battery backup power only) - connected to the internet with that new EVDO card I have been raving about … More →
I took my laptop to the cottage this weekend, and did a little work. WHAT A PLEASURE! I actually did some work! The laptop battery, fully charged, lasts for an estimated 5-1/2 hours .. but, I had it plugged in while I was using it and keeping it charged.
In my house, the built-in wi-fi/bluetooth/wireless detector recognized my own network and hooked up to my wireless G broadband router immediately. Actually, it also noticed a few other networks in my general area too! That’s with no extra wireless card inserted into the laptop .. just turn it on - and I’m not only connected to my other computers, but the network. It’s pretty sweeeeeeeeet.
Yaaaaay .. it’s a beaut! I’ll take pictures when I set it back up again 
Naturally, the second thing I did after receiving my new laptop today (the first being me taking it out of the box) was to install the software and check out the EVDO Wireless broadband internet connectivity.
Well .. the light was on the card, showing power, but the software was saying there was no power. Rather than fiddle with it, I decided to just pack it up and take it down to the MTS Connect Center where they promised they would help get it set up if I needed it .. I figured .. why not?! It would probably be faster than me reading instructions, trying to figure out Windows Vista Business, etc etc.
Let me refresh:
* I ordered a new laptop(Note 1) on Thursday, May 31, 2007 from Dell Canada
