Changes
I didn’t write any things for months. Bad habit — procrastination, laziness hit me ever since Chinese New Year. Just a loosing on the end of consicious for one week, it could easily ruined whatever good habit you are building in progress. A good lesson to learn.
Of course, it isn’t just purely about consitently blogging. My emotion is down and up for the past month, and been thinking a lot about my job. Also, the hosting of this blog is changed from ICDSoft to Dreamhost. I saw many blogs promoting about Dreamhost, with its looking good feature vs pricing trade-offs, I switched. However, it isn’t as stable as I thought. I’ve even experienced out of connection of my blog because of the wrongly installation/configuration of PHP in the host (sounds ridiculous, a system admin simply changed the configuration which broke the clients’ web?). It’s now obvious to seen that many promoted Dreamhost due to its huge rebate rewards, and the key complains to Dreamhost could be concluded as:
* Lack of stability (system setup, connections…etc)
* Notorious CPU usage limit: it provided tremendous bandwidth for its hosting, but once users exceed the CPU percentage limit, users’ sites were taken down without proper notice.
This sounds bad. However, I decided to stay for a longer while to test it out. After all, this is the first post of my blog after switch hosting for 4 weeks. I do like its big storage, SSH access and the hosting of unlimited domains.
Changes, it’s the time for changes. Co-incidentally, usually when you’re thinking of changes in your life, you’d also encounter many others things, people or events changed around you. I thought a lot about my job and flip back-n-forth between stay and leave. Changes would probably come pretty soon. Come to that later.
