Don’t worry this isn’t one of them PayPerPost sites where all bloggers seem to love and hate so much. My host has given me 100% uptime and treated me very well since the beginning so I’m just recommending them to anyone who needs a website.
Anyways, my host WebHostingBuzz just sent me an exclusive coupon code that gives a 25% discount on whatever they order. This code will be valid from 20th August to 1st September.
Their shared hosting prices are as follows:
And you get:
They also have reseller, dedicated and semi-dedicated hosting. The coupon code can also be used for these other services. I also have a review on them at my host review page here.
Site Updates!
The iRadio has been drastically updated. I’ve deleted ‘Party Tracks’, added “Acoustic” and renamed “Salsa” to include Bossa Nova and R&B-styled Reggaeton. (No, not all reggaeton tracks sound like Gasolina!) You’ll get the idea when you listen to Daddy Yankee’s Coraza Divina. Oh and a bunch of songs have been deleted and a lot more have been uploaded.
To those who are new to this site, my music is centered around Korean music, lightly flavored with English, Spanish, French & Japanese music. Enjoy!
Apple advocates rejoice! I am now using a black macbook. After tampering with it for several hours, I’ve finally gotten the hang of it and can find most basic and some advanced settings with relative ease.
I have to admit the switch wasn’t as smooth as I hoped it would be. I accidentally renamed the home folder and screwed up a lot of settings. I ended up reinstalling the bundled apps, deleting the original users and so forth. Rectifying it took me 3 hours. Then I wasn’t able to transfer files from my trusty old vaio to my mac because the external hard drive was formatted in NFTS, which is a system that Macs can only read but not write. (Think CHMOD, web designers) My external HDD got stuck on the Mac, I couldn’t eject or force quit, so I just plugged it out in the end.
But after all the hassle and the frustration. I love the Mac. The screen is amazingly bright even without the power cord. The keyboard is really easy to type on, and the iSight Webcam is really high quality for its size. Oh and did I mention, I have Windows Vista Ultimate running on my mac? Too bad the sound isn’t working on the Vista.
Now, if only I have all my web design programs on this machine. Then maybe I could actually completing my layouts and making new ones.
I went out to Queen Street today and… OMFG! I bought a pleated skirt for 99cents! What a steal! So all you Torontonians out there looking for fashionable bargain, go to Queen Street’s Urban Planet this weekend for their Easter Sale! =)
Oh and if you happen to be around Bloor/Bay or Yorkville in Toronto, (or in Singapore or Oslo) go grab a coffee at Far Coast (farcoast.ca). The interior designer really brought the ‘feel’ of my websites to life! I was so shocked when I realized that it’s actually a concept cafe established by Coca-Cola because there’s no hint of Coke at all! The selection of teas and coffees are amazing.They have all these cool names for them. It’s not even the decor that has influenced my liking for their drinks. They’re really good!! I’ve tried the Foxhall and Zwina teas and just tried the Opale Noire coffee yesterday. Anyways, enough gushing! Hahaha! I took a couple of pics on my cellphone. The quality isn’t that great but I’m sure you’ll get the idea! 
Oh and sorry I haven’t been blogging; I have 2 exams and 1 essay due next week. I’ll be updating the iRadio in a couple hours with new songs and maybe a new playlist! Enjoy!
