1&1 Internet Hosting = Colossal Suckfest (updated)

1&1 Internet Hosting = Colossal Suckfest (updated)

1&1 sucks. I used to use (until 17 minutes ago) 1&1 Internet Hosting for all my websites, including this blog.

Recently an event came to my attention that inclined me to spontaneously spout the following: You know… if you’re gonna’ be stupid, you gotta’ be smart about it. I love one-liners, and the poetry of this one rang true in my ears as soon as it left my lips. I quickly Googled to see if [...]

What have I been doing?

What have I been doing? That’s a great question. When you find out let me know. For starters I put together a new design for a friend’s business. It’s just a front page for now but it suffices as a nice new internet face for their shop. I’ll be enhancing it over the next weeks [...]
