  1. Thanks for the suggestions. Improving my site as I go.

     

    Always nice to learn more and implement what was learned, fun stuff.

     

    I'm self taught, started back in March 2002, though programming is my high point, web design/layout isn't.

  2. Old thread.

     

    Oh well, I cannot use Speedtest.net for tests, inaccurate results for my connection.

     

    :::.. Download Stats ..:::

    Download Connection is:: 1106 Kbps about 1.1 Mbps (tested with 3064 kB)

    Download Speed is:: 135 kB/s

    Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Main)

    Test Time:: 2009/10/31 - 7:25am

    Bottom Line:: 19X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 7.59 sec

    Tested from a 3064 kB file and took 22.693 seconds to complete

    Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 25.82 % faster than the average for host (wildblue.net)

    I have nothing available out here besides dialup and satellite, so i chose satellite via Wildblue, faster than dialup speed wise.

  3. Nothing in my signature but my name now. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and loving it, the other PC in the house will also use it someday after I get used to it more, sorry developers I won't be using ccleaner any more.

  4. See signature.

     

    My PC got compromised/infected with some exploit not related to conficker, and I couldn't fix it, so that gave me the reason to switch to Linux, love it, used before.

     

    The exploit also affected my website via FTP, 6 files had some malicious code added to them, not sure how that happened, all the added code did was give out parse errors on my website, didn't take long to fix my website, my PC was a different story.

  5. Yes, use domain and hosting for just email, website later. Or you could get just email hosting and use a domain you buy.

     

    When you get a domain, get hosting elsewhere and not from a registrar (where you buy a domain).

     

    You could simply put a dummy index.html (.php) page to use, till you decide to startup a site.
