I can't take it anymore! Summer is very evil this year. Temperature is usually around 36 degrees, a humidity rate around 80% and wind speed is almost zero!
Yes, global warming is hitting everyone but I can't live with that. :)

I can live with 10 degrees and even zero without a single complain. I am ready to live in a below zero for the whole year but I can't take this heat.

Handling both Firefox 2 and 3 in your CSS files sometimes turns into a tough job.

This nifty little hack does the job:

/* Firefox 2 stuff */
.foo {
  background-color: #fff;
}
/* Firefox 3 stuff */
html>/**/body .foo {
  background-color: #000;
}

And guess what? This block of CSS validates fine on W3.

My first VPS was with KnownHost.
I spent a whole year with KnownHost before I decided that CentOS is something one can't live with. And despite loving cPanel, I can't accept the idea that I have to go for CentOS to have cPanel.

KnownHost took about 4 hours to install the VPS for me and since the installation everything was more than good.

I upgraded this blog to Drupal 6 on RC1 and since then my menu system got mad. I had duplicates of admin, admin/build, admin/settings.
I disabled the duplicate entry and kept lagging the fix for this until I found out that new modules display their admin settings links in the wrong place in the menu system.

Since I wasn't satisfied with what Zone.net delivered, even after promising that things will go better and they didn't. I decided to continue my search for a better hosting.

I was basically trying to find a hosting with the following criteria:
* OS: Debian
* Control Panel: Plesk
* RAM: ~512MBs
* Private and Reverse DNS.
* Backup is a plus.
