6.12.2009 - The surprisingly semi-consistant updates continue

• On with the continuing battle to get through some more of my email pile, trouble is, I start off with a simple "X is on Y hardware", then end up doing a quick search, check, background search, investigate and end up updating a whole section I never even planned on doing (G-Net this time was prompted by someone mentioning I'd missed Usagi out), the perils of OCD I suppose >.<
  
• I'm wondering about how to unsplit some of the hardware pages at the moment, i.e. I don't like having several Naomi sections, I'm trying to think of a decent way to get them all into one section but also keep them listed under the original manufacturer, not sure how yet, but I suppose that's my problem ;)
  
• Anyway, a few interesting ones here, even if I do say so myself.

• Added some decidedly low res screenshots to the above, as there doesnt seem to be decent ones anywhere.
  
  
• I found a good reason to have a rotating LCD monitor as well, I had to have ear drops the other day, and it meant that my gaming time was un-interupted. Win.
  
• Xmas is coming, the decorations are up and I've been shopping and buying all the really cool stuff I always wanted as a kid for my boys, not that they want it. I do. They can get wired on chocolate and run around the garden screaming like loonies while I play with their Star Wars Lego,

• I'm going to try and do maybe one update a week from now on, containing a small handful of changes to work through my email, the big updates were too much of a mountain to look at so I think if I deal with it in bite size chunks it should at least be less imposing.

3.5.2009 - There's no place like home

11.4.2009 - New News

21.3.2009 - The End of the Beginning... and the end of an era

• After 10 years and 20 million hits (which happened today! holy rusted metal batman!) the hosting arrangement with System16 on ZTNet is coming to an end.
  
  
• So what does this mean? Simply that System16.com is looking for a new home, the domain name is being passed to me so I need somewhere with food, shelter and clean bedding ;)
  
  
• If you have an idea, know a decent stable trustworthy hosting company that doesn't charge the earth and can cope with a site that's around a gig in size and spikes up to about 100gig bandwidth a month (at least that's what it used to do) without resorting to intrusive/popup adverts (just like I have at the moment) then please let me know!
  
  
• Lastly I'd like to say a big thanks to Lev and all of ZTNet for the past 10 years, it's been a strange ride,
  
  Cheers,
  
  Toby
