Stall The Ball

I’m having a horrible day. I’m dying with a cold, drowning in my own phlegm, trying not to cough up the second lung.

In the middle of all this others are getting fit, spring cleaning and generally being unhealthily active.

On the bright side apparently I murdered Bertie. Not on my own of course, and not actually murdered either. Supposedly it was mob character assassination. Following a few of Mulley’s fluffy links it looks like everyone that blogs is a nasty little person.

One particular quote caught my eye.

“I have always seen them as little wankers masturbating in a room and hiding behind the computer while they write their nasty pieces”

Lovely description isn’t it?

I wonder if “I have always seen them as little wankers masturbating in a room and hiding behind their title while they write their nasty pieces” would go down well with Senators? Presumably it would as long as you call them by their title of Senator. See http://www.mamanpoulet.com/?p=370 and the second audio clip.

Still no matter how bad things get there is always the hosting wars to watch. Hat tip to Damien for this nugget, apparently Digiweb have bought Novara. A quick google of Novara and Hosting365 will reveal a little bit of tension between these two and Digiweb got involved a while ago registering domain names such as hosting364 etc. Oh I’m sorry it wasn’t Digiweb, it was a Digiweb employee. Apologies if you thought the two were in some way related.

Boards.ie used to have a hosting section that got so messy, acrimonious and downright nasty that it had to be closed.

5 years later and it’s still closed.

I’m sorry but you people need to seriously grow up and represent your industry with a higher standard of perceived professionalism.

I’m not here to play father, I didnt spawn you. Go away and find somewhere else to have your little bitch fights.

Board closed to posts, discuss it in Feedback if you wish. The permanence of this closure will be decided by an admin vote which is currently running at 2-0 in favour.
Lately WH has taken more time then all other boards combined and I just dont have to put up with it, so I’m not.

DeV.

So we now have two hosting companies merging to form a hosting company that could rival Hosting365’s presence. It should form the basis of intense competition, amazing value for money to customers and the growth of Irelands hosting economy. Maybe we could start to see hosting prices approaching US levels?

Ok so maybe the US bit is a step to far what with data costs, insurance and salaries in Ireland being what they are but maybe we’ll see the big boys acting their age and consumers benefiting.
