My webhosting company have to do emergency migration to the new server with still no definite reasons and all my hyperlinks are all messed up. It seems my mysql DB was not properly migrated and web site traffic logs are not restored as well. My web traffic dropped significantly

The hosting need to point my site to the old server and still waiting for their permanent solution on this, or might as well change another hosting serve… too bad..I’m very disappointed

Sorry for the inconvenience …

Is it really hard for the webhosting company to restore wordpress to a new server? On my next post, I’ll post a how to, so please wait for it. thanks

10th day of the 10th month in 10th year, Ubuntu released 10.10 , a perfect date to denotes geekiness  at its best 1010101010 Kidding aside, here’s the excerpt

Coming from the Meerkat department
Some time ago a group of hyper-intelligent pan dimensional beings decided to finally answer the great question of Life, The Universe and Everything. To this end, a small band of these Debians built an incredibly powerful distribution, Ubuntu. After this great computer programme had run (a very quick 3 million minutes…or 6 years) the answer was announced. The Ultimate answer to Life, the Universe and
Everything is…42, and in its’ purest form 101010. Which suggests that what you really need to know is ‘What was the Question?’. The great distribution kindly pointed out that what the problem really was that no-one knew the question. Accordingly, the distribution designed a set of successors, marked by a circle of friends…to ultimately bring Unity to all things living…Ubuntu 10.10, to find the question to the ultimate answer.

Ubuntu team announced Ubuntu 10.10 with Codenamed “Maverick Meerkat”. Official announcement can be seen at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2010-October/000139.html.

personal comment:

I had the chance to try Linux Mint 9 on my virtualbox yesterday after almost more than an hour of downloading (since I need to limit my download transfer to prioritize some of my movie downloads =) Anyway, after installing, I just felt that I’m just using a combination of Ubuntu and Opensuse. I like the ease of installation and it’s network backup tool, other than that,I find it very Ubuntuish , but still worth a try.

The next big version of Ubuntu Linux OS has now arrived and if offers new exciting features for users like quicker boot speed on almost any machine, along with a social networking-oriented ” Me Menu”,Ubuntu Software Centre 2.0 for easier access to new software, and a slew of new cloud-based services courtesy of Ubuntu One — not to mention the Ubuntu One music store.
Ready for the ride. To see the technical overview, read more to ubuntu.com
