I first reported about my webhost (ixwebhosting.com) doing a major server move last week that affected the uptime of unfoldingneurons.com and some of my other websites over the weekend.  At first it seemed like all things went well with the move (albeit not much improvement in speed as they said there would be), however since the move the php mail() function has been borked on my server and all the services dependent on that function don’t work.  That means that new people can’t register for my plugin support forums and people requesting a password change won’t get anywhere either.

I’ve been trying to get my host to speed up a fix but unfortunately there communication has been pretty much nil and aside from the “we’re working on it” that I obtained from a fellow named Artem in the chat support I have no clue as to when it’ll get fixed or what the problem is to begin with.

This is just one more thing to add to the list of things I’ve been dissatisfied with this host and if I haven’t heard anything from them by tomorrow I’m going to start looking at other webhosts for all my domains and websites.  I’ve got a list of webhosts I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while but maybe my readers will have some suggestions?

Source: WikipediaApparently my webhost is opening a brand new datacenter and is moving all my websites onto the new servers there. I’ve been told that the move will begin at midnight on Friday, March 28th (i.e. early Saturday morning) and so everything will go black for up to 48 hours.

So if you get this before things happen you’ll know not to panic when you can’t access UnfoldingNeurons.com (not that anybody would panic anyway…)

The year went by a lot faster it seems this year.  I just wanted to put up a quick post to wish all of my readers (all three of you…hehe) all the best during this holiday season.  Enjoy the time you spend with family and friends!

As part of the team of men who went to Zimbabwe in June - I was amazed by the work being done to make a difference in the country of Zimbabwe by the Village of Hope and their work with children. One of the things that I discovered in working with them is that they don’t have a website to promote what they are doing and provide an information/communication portal for their current and potential supporters. I decided to donate my services to design and host the website because I believe so strongly in the work the Village of Hope is doing.

So without further ado, I’m announcing the launch of the brand new website for the Village of Hope in Zimbabwe (vohzimbabwe.com).

Coincidently, that is why there’s been some inactivity on this blog lately (and also why development of the Organize Series Plugin has been stalled)…

It’s thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and I wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  Live gratefully not just during this time of year but every day and your perspective on life will change for the better.  There’s always something to be thankful for!
