MySpace to shed 2/3rd Global Workforce!

VPS Hacked – Need Recommendations
I’ve been using the folks at kickassvps.com for a while now. However, I found that my VPS was unreliable at times, and my blog would regularly go down.
Last night I logged in to discover that mysterious software was installed on my server. I’ve been hacked! The problem with the VPS, as is common in virtualization, is that companies tend to neglect patching these systems.
I tried to use the live support feature on the host’s website, didn’t work! I opened a ticket, and got a response when I woke up the next morning, asking me questions on what to do!
Ummm… so I’ve made the decision to move my blog to another provider. Any recommendations? I’m running Windows 2003 w/ CF8.
My Blog Now on Kindle
If I am interesting enough of a read, sometimes 
, and you have a Kindle from Amazon, feel free to now subscribe through their service.

Windows 7 Release Date Announced!
I remember when XP came out, boy was it much better than what MS had put out before. And close to a decade later, I’m still on it. I could tell, like many others, that Vista would flop. But Windows 7 seems to be different, built from the core differently, and its been a surprise hit during the beta cycle.
Well, wait just a couple more months, because Engadget is reporting a October 22 sale date!
