10 Random Things About Me

Comment Exchange, Do They Read Your Post Before They Comment?

One of its problems is, some Comment Exchange participants don't even read what you've posted. They'll just base their comments on the title of your post and you will eventually end up with an out-of-topic or an off-topic comment.

All Sites Down, SpeedySparrow

As of this writing, all my regular blogs are down. My hosting provider, SpeedySparrow, is currently doing some work on the server that has all my blogs and all I can do right now is wait for them to finish. Hopefully, whatever they are doing will make the server more stable.



According to Uptime Robot, the downtime started yesterday, February 17, 2012, at around 12:00 AM. It's already 10: 30 PM of February 18, 2012. So, counting from the time the server went down up to now, all my blogs have been down for more than 20 hours already.

SpeedySparrow has been experiencing server problems since last year. As you can see, they are still having server problems this year. I wish I could explain what they are experiencing better but I'm not really knowledgeable in server technology.

I'm just a simple blog owner and, right now, all I want is to get all my blogs back up and running. Everyday they are down is making me lose potential income from various sources including Adsense. If I don't make anything then I won't have any money to pay my web hosting with them and I don't want that to happen.

Don't get me wrong, the people behind SpeedySparrow are nice people and I know they mean well. It's just that, their server is having too much issues and these issues are hurting their customers and it's hurting them as well.

I also know that they are doing their very best to fix these issues but they should really look into a more lasting solution like maybe moving all their customers to a new server rather than trying to salvage an already problematic one.

Anyway, I do hope they can permanently fix whatever it is that is causing their server problems and I also hope that they can fix it soon.

Update: Now we have a member from a different server gloating about our misfortune with our server. I know it's a joke but the timing is way off.
