Well, I decided to host crank’s blog again. To be honest, I could have done it a while ago, but I’ve sortof forgotten about my hosting until the bill came a few weeks ago.

I actually was on the very top plan with my host last year, hosting about 20 other websites for various people for free, which kinda wasn’t working out very well in terms of the cost. So, I decided to stop doing that. Anyway, I needed a bit of space for some backups of my PC in about January this year, so I upgraded again to the Super plan (4500MB space, 100GB bandwidth, for $30 USD per month). However, at the moment it’s kinda all going to waste, so I thought I’d host crank’s blog, as well as someone else who wanted a bit of space since their host was a bit dodgy (I think). I also let crank use my KosmicTech.com domain, since I’ve not been using it for much for about 6 months now. Even with my site and those two others, I’m still using less then half the plan I’ve got, so I might downgrade to ASO’s Medium or Large plan (see this page).

Onto the hard drive. I ripped it out of my old Xbox console (with the help of a Torx screwdriver off eBay), and stuck it into my PC. Vista sees it there, a 250GB Western Digital HDD, but it refuses to let me partition it. So, I’m not going to bother with finding a partition program that will work with Vista, I’m just gonna stick it on eBay.

I’ve got plans to put five more 500GB SATA2 HDDs into this PC anyway, so losing a 250GB PATA drive isn’t that bad.

Finally, the TomTom. I’ve got a TomTom GO 910 (don’t ask why I have it), but I want to get the Logitech Z-5500 Digital speakers for my PC. So, to get those, I could easily sell my TomTom on eBay with a starting price of, say, £220 (most of them are £250+ anyway). However, the problem is that dad wants the TomTom, so he said he’d give me £200 for it. He also said he’d kill me and cancel the ADSL (haha, on an 18 month contract?) if I stuck it on eBay. The thing is though, why shouldn’t I? It’s mine, and I’d get more for it on eBay in the first place. So I’m wondering what to do.

Anyway, that’s about all that’s new in my life, and it’s bloody cold here today. It’s the first time this month that I’ve closed my window because of the cold. Oh, and the people at the end of the row of houses I lived in had a loud party last night, and they were ordering pizza at like 1am. LOL. The only thing is, I got annoyed because playing Justin Timberlake and Coldplay at a party makes it into a non-party. Idiots. Why not play something decent? Anyway, they finally shut up and sent their friends home at like 4am or so. They’ve probably got a hangover now.
