Globat.com is a ripoff - beware
Category: web
Dear globat.com
You suck. Your hosting company sucks. Stop pretending that people like the woman on the front of your website really work their in your customer service dept when it is really all non-native english speakers.

You basically have fucked my stuff up so many times. I hope your company goes out of business.

It makes me so angry that you pretended to put me in collections and then offered to get my account out of fake collections with the promise I pay now and get my files. Then you go ahead and delete my files. Th e only reason I was in collections for so much is because you autorenewed me for a service I never even signed up for.

You guys have no idea how much trouble I have had with them (e:paul,32201)

I spent hundred of hours on the phone with what I thought was india but now I am thinking is stupid eskimos when I used to host estrip at globat. I hate you globat, I hope your data center blows up and all your customers sue you.

That is exactly what happend to me

    Don't get Globat just because they offer low price. You will find fees start adding up and ends up costing more than other hosting service. Read the fine line!!!! Don't get screwed by these guys. For example you have to follow their cancellation policy or you end up paying $286.00 panalty and collection fees.http://www.webhostingjury.com/reviews/Globat

New Monitor
Category: computers
I also got my new monitor, not sure if I like it yet. It is really big and lets me see a ton of text but - it is only 60hz refresh while the macbook pros display is 75hz. I think this might make my eyes crazy. I might return it and get a smaller one with a higher refresh rate.

Secondlife is really quite amazing at 1900 pixels tall

Same with zend studio

The more I think about it, the more I think we should have these at work. Even cheap large secondary monitors. Being able to see this much code makes it so much easier to program. Considering, that monitors that big cost < $500 it would take such a small amount of time to make up that cost in saved man hours. I mean they pay me a lo to scroll up and down and flip between tabs all day when you think about it.

Crazy Apple
Category: food
No not the computer kind, but the organic kind. This is the most oddly shaped apple I have even seen. It looks like it got blown in the wind?

Back to loving it
Category: work
Although, I once again did not get to eat at work today (this must be bad for my crohn's to not eat two days in a row) or maybe not - I loved it. For some reason today was great. I think the class I taught today was especially good - it finally tied it all together. Its hard to teach at such a breakneck pace but I think I have managed to really put it together as best as it could be. We wrote an app based on the surebert framework, it actually did something, we talked a lot about OOP and a lot about web security. It integrated with our single sign on and employee database.

It gave me this feeling that everything was finally coming together. Now if the three new linux servers would just get set up. They have been here for a couple weeks now ;(

I'm currently displaying my "you missed out on good stuff at work the past few days" face to the world. Kinda like the Crohn's face but not quite as depressing. Still sad-looking though.
