New Year has come, and a big problem has come to me too. My host, Yurx, is sold. I/ve just heard this bad news when I check my email. Here is the original text : ( yeah it’s sent in 1/1/08 )

Its me, RaidX, from the good old yurx ;). I’m sorry for selling the site but it got to a point where I had no choice, the server costs were too high and I was spending too much time every day on the site trying to fix things, in the last few months we barely got any donations and I was taking a loss every month and putting money from my pocket in order to keep the site running.

The good news is that I have launched a brand new site, http://www.gwebtalk.com …. It is a forum dedicated to you guys, WEBMASTERS, because I know I provided almost all of you with free hosting for your site and now you might need some tips in running it or might want to give others some of your own advice. Best part is that we’re looking for staff so I let all of you know first since I know we had an awesome community. All your profiles were ported over so all you guys need to do is login and post away or submit an application to become staff.

Once again, I’m sorry about Yurx and I hope you guys were able to find another reliable host, you can try www.ceege.com ;).

Again, please visit our brand new site at www.gwebtalk.com and post away, in any of our many categories :D. Remember, your accounts were ported over so just login with your old username at yurx and password or simply create a new account. Any problems just ask for a password reset :D.

Thanks Again

It seems not to be a joke. Since the forum is closed down, and some account have been deleted. They do not provide backup at all, so it’ll be bad for someone who doesn’t have a chance to back up. Fortunately, my weblog is still here, but sooner or later it’ll come to dust. I don’t find interest in searching new reliable host now, yes once I believed this host is reliable. Sadly I’m wrong.

I’m very busy in studying now, so moving this house isn’t done till Lunar New Year. Moving website from host to host isn’t just easy as transfering data and such, but it also involving page rank, update new address, every crap thing … to make mine live again.

My laptop HP Pavilion zv6000 I got from my friend works just well, but there is a problem, the HDD Toshiba MK8025GAS is too noisy. In a quiet room, I’m always irritated by that freaking noise. I know that is from HDD because of the clicking sound every time I open a file, a program, search files … However, it seems to be strange that now I notice that noise more intensively than before, so I perform a lot of test for errors and bad sectors, some reasons that may cause this. The first is CHKDSK tool.

Open Command Prompt and type chkdsk /f /r c: ( or any partitions ) You’ll say that you can get the same result by right-click on your drives - Properties - Open Tool - Error Checking … choose Automatically Fix File System error or Scan for attemp recovery of bad sectors … but you can have more options by other parameters like /i and /c .

Secondly I use Defragmenter tool. After that my Windows performance speed is faster, really, cause a lot of file is fragmented. But the noise is still.

I download and try HD Tune and HDD Life. The HD Tune error test actually found some bad sectors on the beginning track of my HDD, and HDD life warned something about spinning count and threshold. Since that is just a report and they can’t do anything to repair, maybe it’s belong to physical damages, not file structure.

And I found a great tool in Hiren Boot CD , HDD Regenerator 1.5.1 , which can perform some special task like repair bad sectors and even physical bad sectors. Yes it really worked since it detected and repaired while Windows Chkdsk or other tools can’t. But the main problem still exists.

Hôm nay mưa to thế mà không đem áo mưa. Thế lại còn “dũng cảm” chạy xe từ trường về nhà nhanh, không hiểu tại sao lại không dừng lại mua cái áo mưa giấy. Cũng cái tật “làm biếng” … về đến nhà ướt sũng hết … cũng may mà không bị cảm … ôi …

Hai tháng qua tự nhiên mất đi “passion to blogging” … không blog, chat hay giao tiếp với ai trên mạng. À tôi nói chỉ trên mạng thôi chứ không có nghĩa là giống mấy thanh niên bên Nhật đóng cửa nhốt mình trong phòng tu luyện vài tháng đâu. Học hành và đi làm bình thường, vẫn lướt web nhưng … trừ blog và chat. Vậy đấy, khi không cảm xúc thì không thể gõ bất kỳ dòng nào … còn tại sao mất hứng như vậy thì nhiều nguyên nhân … :0

Mấy bạn hữu của tôi trên Yobanbe chắc tưởng tôi đã “đi về nơi xa vắng” hay lên đảo hoang rồi. không có ý làm họ lo lắng, nhưng với tôi, blog không phải là “Second life”, just a type of webpage. Nếu cần liên lạc, đã có email đấy Trang web không cập nhật hay không bao giờ cập nhật nữa là chuyện thường. … hmm mong nếu có ai trên Yo đọc xong thấy không bằng lòng thì bỏ qua cho. Tôi hứa sẽ quay lại sau khi thi GHK xong … that’s a war … T T … yeah, low grades cũng là 1 nguyên nhân.

Thử ngẫm xem có đúng không nhé!

Có những blogs , mình đọc , nhưng chẳng bao giờ comment
Có những blogs , mình comment , nhưng chẳng bao giờ đọc ?
Có những người , mình yêu họ biết bao nhiêu , nhưng chẳng bao giờ dám nói…

Lại có những người , mình chưa một lần gặp mặt, chưa một lần tiếp xúc
Vậy mà đối với họ , mình lại luôn ” tự tin nói lời yêu thương ”
flirt , hug và kiss … cứ như là một thói quen ” chẳng mất gì “

…mình được gì nhỉ?

Trên thế giới “ảo” này , bao nhiêu người quan tâm mình “thật” ?
Khi mà thậm chí , ngoài thế giới thật kia…
cuộc sống của mình
Còn biết bao điều là “ảo” cơ mà …

Một ngày khá là đẹp trời …

By a quick decision, I use this Mac OS style theme from now on. It has a clear, nice look and a customizable sidebar, without using the Wordpress Widget.

This theme is called “iTheme” and can be found at : http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/wp-themes/itheme

The name makes it look similiar to iMac, iBook, Ipod and those with Apple product related.

I also installed a plugin called “Wordpress Theme Switcher” that helps you quickly switch back your previous installed themes. Yeah it’s mainly for visitors.
Download at : http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/ThemeSwitcher

Besides, I’m interested in CSS Dock Menu code, a project at http://www.ndesign-studio.com . This Javascript allows you to add a docking menu like Mac OS to your website.

- Read more and download here

- View the demo at http://www.ndesign-studio.com/demo/css-dock-menu/cssdock.html

The domain http://www.pquan.co.nr now works again and it’s pointed to my website. Please remember it for next time

I found an interesting page about an H-game. If you are curious, click through :

( but remember, it’s a H-game )

What a trouble day and I still mess with these irritated code of Wordpress ! Because I’m just a mere blogger and don’t even know how to design his own theme. I know a little Photoshop and CSS but for making a Wordpess theme, it’s too far for me to do that ^ ^

The default Kubrick theme gets a lot of unexpected problems with Internet Explorer, and I don’t know why. Maybe I inserted Google Adsense code and made it “crazy” somehow.
( it runs properly under Firefox 2.0 and Opera )

Therefore I decide to get a new theme. What should I choose ? For an anime-lover I like to have an nice anime-style WP theme. However, it’s difficult to find an attractive theme in thousand of WP themes, even more for anime style.
Only 2 that interest me :

http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/1-column/2/acturus/

http://wordpress.blinding-light.com

I prefer the second one, and this is my theme now. I’ll use it till I got another theme. In fact that Yakitate!! is not my favourite ; however , I have no other choice since it’s night and I must go to bed now.
Yakikate !! anime info here : http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2429

Thank Miko Reznor at Binding Light.com to make this great theme. It also has some special feature intergrated in. I’ll be very appriciated if Miko designs more WP themes ^ ^
This theme called “Confectionary Heaven” and can be found at : http://wordpress.blinding-light.com

In future, I’ll have my own WP theme for sure, and now I go sleeping and, more important, I have my serious exam waiting next 2 weeks …

And for Google Adsense (GA) , you can get some money by putting ads on your website but, you may have to lose your site’s friendly look.

That’s wonderful ! After a few days working on Yurx forum, I have my new host on Yurx.com

+ My site (this site) on Yurx : pquan.yurx.com

+ My host is Plan #3 which contains many great features :

- Cpanel
- Rv Skin For added Ease.
- Subdomains
- Parked Domains
- Addon Domains
- Mysql databases
- SQL Databases
- Email accounts
- Email forwarders
- Autoresponders
- Email filters
- Mailing lists
- FTP accounts
- Fantastico

1GB Space.
20GB Bandwidth.
10X - All Features above

Faster, cool FTP speed, no adsvertises

————–
However, it has some problem:

- Install WP here isn’t easy as my old host

- Yurx doesn’t install PHP 5

- SQL databases seem to have problems

…. and some features like Perl which I may not use now but in future, I’ll learn Perl so I should need it.

And some aren’t really neccessary.

…

Hope my blog will last long on Yurx and not get any… “unexpected accident” ^ ^

And in my opinion, Yurx is more reliable than other hosting services.
