Well they have managed to F$#! everything up again
After being off of there server for almost 2 months today they decided they wanted to bill me for it
So now I have them threating to send it to collections if I dont pay the $197 dollars or something like that.
Well guess what everyone! IM NOT PAYING!!! AVOID BURST LIKE YOU WOULD YOUR GIRLFRIENDS HUSBAND!!!! 😀
Anyway sorry I have been lazy on updating the blog and stuff been busy working on http://freetshost.com
Earlier today I seen reports that youtube.com was down. It started out that the images were going out and then there were no videos playing and shortly after that the site was down all together
Well at about 9:30am EST youtube has came back online.
Pictures after the break
Well you probbly noticed that our server was down. Well you can thank the guys over at BURST.NET for that one.
A couple months ago I switched over to burst because of the low prices and good support I was getting from the reseller I actually bought the server from. Well this reseller sold out to Burst and then things went down hill. They suspended my server for having a link to the mintirc network on the dns. [irc.themodshop.net] Well these dipstick support techs burst has dident bother to check that and then they suspended my server. After a couple days of fighting I got them to turn the server back on but they had changed the root password. Now once I realized this I went and opened a support ticket with Burst and right after I opened it a tech replied and then my server was suspended again. Now they were stating that the server has a “Abuse” fee attached to it. They also stated that it would have to be reformatted with out the chance of recovery. Well now the fees are racking up.
Total cost of the server each month $75.99
Abuse fee $50.00
Reformat fee $25
Now lets see they are asking me to pay another server bill just to get it online. Anyone see a problem with this?
Ok moving on. I was almost willing to go for it till I asked if they were going to put the control panel I pay for back on the server. There response “you didn’t order a control panel with the server”. Well now thats a load of BS. So then we can tack on another $15.00/month.
Now at this point I end up just forgetting the whole deal and move on. I was lucky that I backed up all my sites and stuff before they suspended the server. And it took me a while to find the right place to host at for the right price but I found it. And thanks to Daniel at Server Complete we have our server again. But to all the viewers of themodshop. This server costs a good bit more than the old server did. So that leaves me to cover the rest of that bill and its kind of hard to do. So if you can manage to scrape together a few dollars and send it to [email protected] via paypal that would be a huge help.
Thanks for understanding
Tracker
[edit] Just incase you were wondering the total cost for that 1 month of server from burst.net would have broken down as follows.
$75.99 for the server
$50.00 for the abuse fee
$25.00 for the reformat fee
$15.00 for the DirectAdmin fee
so total cost $165.99 our new server dosn’t even cost that much!
So once again I say. SCREW YOU BURST NET YOU GUYS SUCK…AND YOUR SUPPORT TEAM IS A JOKE!
You may or may not read the blog over at engadget.com but recently they received a letter from Deutsche Telekom the people who own T-Mobie stating that the engadget mobile name with the color magenta was a trademark of T-Mobile. You can see that whole post HERE
Well in response to that engadget has chose to “Paint the town magenta” Well you may have noticed that I [Tracker] have also done this on our own little blog here. Dark also made our banner a nice magenta-ish color to match.
Lets see T-Mobile tell me to change my colors!
p.s. Engaget also changed the logo for there engadget mobile site. It is the image above.
And No this is not a April fools joke.
[UPDATE] I have switched the site back now 🙂
Apparently Apple has released an update through its “Auto Update” feature to deliver Safari for windows to its users. The update is optional but the guys over at Mozilla (the people who make FireFox) say this is the wrong way to go about it.
Yes Mozilla offers an auto update feature but they don’t include FireBird (email client) with Mozilla updates.
As oppose to apple who stuck Safari into a iTunes/Quicktime update.

According toCNET Google Intel HP Microsoft and a few others are teaming up to try and get the FCC to allow them to brodcast internet over the airwaves between the channels. This could be a great thing for people. And could possibly get me better internet 😀
Also Microsoft has released a prototype device that would use these airwaves to access high speed internet.

Ok so thats a simple enough topic. And if you are like me [Tracker] then you listen to music almost 24/7 but sometimes you want to have your music at work or at someone else’s house and cant take your ipod and speakers or anything like that. Well that is why I am here to go over 2 sites that I have been using to make your music listing a little more fun.
Well the other day I had to call bellsouth because I could not get any ports open on my network. They went through this whole “Disconnect this connect that go here go there…Ok what operating system are you running”
So at this point I say Linux
The Script reading monkey comes back and says “Oh I dont think that modem supports linux. We will have to mail you a different one it should be there in a day or 2”
At this point I finish the ordering process and wait 2 days to get my modem of a different brand…
The Asus EeePc is a great little laptop yes. But the resolution is to low for most things that people do.
So how do we fix this?
Get hacked drivers that will scale 800×600 and 1024×768 down to the eeepc’s native resolution. But you may want to just visit www.monitornerds.com/oled-pc-monitors and buy a new monitor to get better resolution. But you might be able to hack your driver to increase your resolution, how do you do this?
Read on 😀

Ok so here is the deal. You goto a gamer meetup (ShmooCon perhaps?) and you take your brand new laptop. Well what happens if it gets stolen?
Well in the past you eather hoped that the person gives it back. Or that you have paid for LowJack. But chances are you just lost your new laptop
Well I [Tracker] was hopping around on the net early this morning when I stumbled upon a neat little program to help you in this scenario.
