The Big Move: pt 1

So the time has come that I’m actually working on moving the site to a better host where I have more control, more options, and hopefully a better experiance all together. Right now, my other site ( We Void Warranties ) is being hosted over at DreamHost.com and Ive had a great experiance with them so far. I found this promo code on LifeHacker.com that saved me over $150! The promo code 222 brings the cost of unlimited hosting plus one domain registration down from about $220 to around $65 for two years.

Anywho, here’s the schedule for the next week or so:
SATURDAY: 5pm EST – thelostchinese.org will completely shut down, including ma and FTP servers.
SATURDAY: 10pm EST – mail servers will hopefully be back up before then and new FTP servers will be up.
SUNDAY: 1amEST – some kind of placeholder will be up for thelostchinese.org and thelostchinese.com. Possibly a new rss address.
MONDAY: 5pmEST – site back up, fully functional.

We Void Warranties

Just bought that domain!

WeVoidWarranties.com is going to be where to find tech stuff once I get it up and running. Hopefully, it’ll be run by me and some friends.

I’m excited! Once I get that up and running, this site will probably be moved over to the new host.

IPhone 4G and WWDC 2010

It’s been tradition that the iPhone is announced at WWDC… let’s hope that trend continues. The biggest things I’m looking forward to are the front facing camera and iPhone OS 4.0.

I’m really hoping they go back to the metal, blocky shape for the phone. I really liked the look and feel of the first iPhone and was dissappointed when they decided to go with the curved plastic instead.

It’d be great to see iPhone go to verizon… But then again, I wouldn’t get it because I want to be able to use the idroid on the old model.

Tethering is also a feature that’s supposed to come this summer (but then again, that’s what they said last year…) and it really annoys me that AT&T took away their unlimited data plan because “98% of people never go above 2 gigabytes of data”. Then why not let those 2% who do have it? It’s not like it really hurts the network. But on top of that, they want you to pay for the ability to tether…. Which means they’re making you pay twice for the SAME DATA.

And this is why we have jailbreaking.

As a side note: Cupidtino also launches Monday.

iDroid Update

So as it turns out, the touch screen doesn’t like to work.   I’m keeping my eye on the forums, but so far there is no solution.  But here are some pictures!

Thinking About Segregation: Separate But Equal.. ish

So I like the idea of it. My main thought, though, is that I may want to wait until I switch over to a different host. Having a separate blog for personal stuff as compared to nerd stuff would probably be beneficial; then I could actually promote it as a tech site.

Anywho, I want to get some feedback on this idea. Should I separate them? Should tech stuff or personal stuff stay at TheLostChinese.org? What should the other one be called?
