Spuds again…

Filed under: garden — adekun @ 12:25 am

Over the past week, got down some spuds and sowed two rows of carrots. Everybody as told me I’m too late. I think as it’s still warm and the ground being light they should (with a bit of luck) come good in time for Xmas.

Webshite

Filed under: website — adekun @ 12:48 pm

After a few emails and a phone call, got the beginnings of a website.
Tip: Expect trouble if you use a credit card on the internet overseas - guess they check your ip address?
Now I’ve got a web host, plan is to script in PHP to serve content from a database. Probably look into AJAX afterwards.
I hope it will provide something for people in a similar position to myself and perhaps some useful information to anyone else.

Finding reliable web hosting services can be difficult no matter where in the world you are. Knowing the differences between colocation hosting, Unix hosting, Linux web hosting, among many others, can be difficult. Each web host’s dedicated server offers different things. Do you know what you are looking for in a web host? If not, now is as good a time as any to figure it out.
