Review of the webhost one.com

I’ve been a customer of one.com for over 4 years now (started: 08-11-04) and I’ve been very pleased so far. I hasn't had a lot of support cases and emails regarding the service or uptime from one.com

Though the years one.com has upgraded it’s offers from time to time and each time I and other old customers have been upgraded as well, for that I’m sure we all are very grateful.

Even though one.com is a nice, reliable and fast host it still has some lacks and the one of them that has been most frustrating has got be the fact that you CAN NOT connect to the MySQL server externally. The first year of my subscription with one.com I didn’t really use the MySQL at all since I was a HTML kid who didn’t got broadband yet and therefore did all my server-scripting (with a database) at home on a private local server. But the problem was shown it’s UGLY face each and every time I’m doing a new project on my one server for a change.

The main problem is really that I’m a desktop- and not a all-browser-guy. Summed up: I DOSN’T LIKE phpMyAdmin at all, in any way what so ever. I uses the desktop administrative tools from MySQL.com which I find a lot more useful. But in order to connect to your MySQL server externally, you need to know the servers IP or DNS address but even though I’ve been literally begging one.com for an IP or DNS nothing good has come out of it. So sad…

All of this frustration puts me in a kind of messy situation. I doesn't want to leave a good and reliable host for this one thing. But on the other side I doesn't want to be dependant on other peoples servers/hosts where it’s an option to connect to the MySQL externally.

So my question to you dear reader, what should I do? Should I leave my good old host one.com and jeopardize my reliable site, e-mails etc?

The Pirate Bay trial

Yeah I’ve been following the trial as the rest of the internet-crowd  these days. I’ll not start to write any summary or stuff like that but I’ll post some links with some serious and some unserious stuff.

Unserious stuff:

http://soundcloud.com/obd/obd-nu-ar-jag-en-cider-feat-hakan-roswall  - A song created by some dude, really fun. If you understand it.

http://spectrial.virvelvind.net/ – The place I got the song from above, here is some really fun stuff as well. More song, a Roswall-nonsense generator etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_kong_defense – The wiki talks for it self.

Serious stuff:

The English translated version of all the news, twitters etc. from the case: http://74.125.19.132/translate_c?hl=da&langpair=sv%7Cen&u=http://live.piratpartiet.se/&usg=ALkJrhiLOLGPFWYRkZspxZZMrSFEJHQ1YQ

The place where you can listen to the trial LIVE: http://www.sr.se/webbradio/webbradio.asp?type=live&Id=SR-Extra01&BroadcastDate=&IsBlock

How good transportation resets time and later takes it away…

I thing I really like about trains and other timed transportation is even though you got up to late because you again went to late to sleep, you hang by the computer when you really had to get ready and go take a shower you can reset your lateness/hurry by getting on the train you where supposed to. Because now you’re on schedule again, the time is set and you can again start thinking clear.

The dangerous in thinking clear is that now your realizing all the things you did wrong in the stressed morning. You UNMATCHING cloth on, you didn’t iron your hair and you forgot to pack your thing right, which now means that now you’re in a hurry after getting off the train. You have to make 3 stops before going to work to find the things you forgot.

So now the train isn’t anymore a place of peace and calmness. Now it’s a prison, holding you back, making you even more stressed.

Imagine a fantastic day you could have had if you went to sleep in proper time!

Kunsten at falde ind i musikken

Jeg har kaldt dette blogindlæg for “Kunsten at falde ind i musikken” af den grund, at når jeg hører musik, om det så er jazz, pop, rock eller klassisk så kan jeg ikke undgå at “falde ind i musikken”.

Det er et “state-of-mind” som kan ændre ens humør og livsanskuelse på de få minutter som et nummer varer. Det er derfor fantastisk at kunne tage musik i ørene, lade sig falde ned i det store hav af følelse, toner, finesser og beats og derefter være “frisk”. Frisk på den måde at dine tanker er renset og du er atter opfyldt til randen med livsglæde. Det er et kick som ikke kan sammenlignes med noget som helst.

Derfor er det mit håb at flere vil lade sig falde ind i musikken, få renset deres sind og få det overskud som betyder at de kan give et smil eller en hjælpende hånd som giver menneskene i deres nærvær en god dag.

Så næste gang du skal høre noget musik så vælg noget dejligt musik uden vrede og skrig. Vælg noget som musik som gør dig glad eller får dig på tanker som betyder noget specielt for dig. Luk derefter ørene op og i på en og samme tid. Luk musikkens fortryllende toner ind og luk omverdenens larm ude af dit sind. Når musikken så er lukket ind og er det eneste som fylder dit sind kan du endelig nyde et nummer som f.eks. “Dreaming With A Broken Heart” af John Mayer. Lad ikke noget forstyrre dig og giv dig god til at nyde musikken.

Jeg kan garantere dig en bedre dag, jeg stopper nu denne post for nu vil jeg tillade mig at “falde ind i musikken”…
