I had an annoying realisation this morning, when I went to check on the blog and why an image was not showing up as expected. The site was gone, now fixed as your reading this but annoying to find.

Today was hosting renewal day – which is meant to be automatic, and the billing of it is – the renewal didn’t seem quite as automatic. I contacted support and after them saying its the domain peoples issue and me saying its not. They then said I set it to their domain parking page… I don’t even know how to do that?

Anyhow, as you see we’re back up and running.

I’ve not really had any real issues with the company before, and used them for around 9 years so a bug every so often is expected. Just glad no data was lost in the process.

- You get loads of space, and bandwidth and support is fast if you have an issue. I mean the issue above took about 20 minutes in an online chat to sort and its working again.

I was meant to be abseiling today, the event is cancelled until further notice. I’d raised £79 online (through friends sponsoring me – Thanks guys) and its already paid to the charity automatically online which seems to have missed part of the point.

Anyhow maybe it will go ahead someday. Tis annoying when you put money up for events that fall through.

Gorgeous day, lovely sun – a little breeze. I decided to go on the bike for a bit – after about 20 mins felt out of breath. So unfit – really need to sort that. I looked over – I was close to the park so rode over and chilled for a bit.

Deep blue sky, bright green trees, lots of kids, animal, adults and bikes including me. People lazing in the warmth of the sun taking time out.

Its good to sit back, read & relax and watch the world some days – Like the animals & kids falling in the fountain. Entertainment all around us.

Glad I brought the sun cream out, its quite warm out when sitting/laying about.

All in all, was out about 2 and a half hours, enjoying the weather on the bike and headed home and had a mini BBQ – Delicious.

After advice from a friend and my internet dying a few weeks ago I decided to look into getting a work around – I bought a mobile dongle off ebay for three internet.

Works out to get 1GB of traffic about £10 on PAYG. I did a little test on how much internet traffic I used apparently through the dongle. I was on 5 minutes and apparently used over 3,000K (3MB) of transfer – I don’t think i’d last long on 1GB usage and that was without the music from spotify – I think that worked out to be around 2 days use if that.

But its a backup so I would generally be using it for email, and probably MSN. I should probably make a bookmark set of basic pages – ones that don’t eat bandwidth for when I’m using it. On a 50mb (20mb ish) connection I don’t often think of bandwidth or speed usage but wouldn’t want to use all my usage in a day or less.

Cost of dongle was around £50, knocked down in shops to around £30 but on ebay was £15 inc Postage so got one there. I was considering when it was £30 – Glad I opened the ebay email advert for a change.

I have many plans at home, how i’d like to have my garden area laid out at the front and the back. At the back I have a yard and a garage. I have what used to be an ivy plant now stump at the back of the garage. I’d like to eventually get rid of it and setup a BBQ there.

I’d like to setup a stone/brick one and looked into it. I’ve found places where you can get the parts and think it will cost around £80 for supplies and an afternoon (or few) and a lot of patience to make it.

It would be nice, althou I don’t really do BBQs to have one – not entirely sure if its safe thou to be so close to the back of the house and on the garage but will look into it more before trying it – I think it’s fine but better sure than boom!

Would be nice though.. Seen the grills have enamal on them so they don’t rust.

Bricks & cement/sand would also be needed. Just an idea
