I did try to get MediaTemple to give me a better deal on their DV Server, but they just wouldn’t..  From their email:

The cost of $50 for a (dv) server BASE is a great value. You are more than welcome to shop around and check out our competitors that are offering a similar product.

Well I did shop around and found KnownHost. All I can say is WOW. ByeBye MediaTemple!

Not only are their VPS offerings a great deal, but their techsupport is just absolutely amazing. I’ve opened support tickets and had a solution & reply in 3 minutes! (Of course they are not always THAT fast, but I usually receive a reply in less then 15 minutes)

I’m on my own virtual server with full root access, and I have a hosting company with great prices and great support.

What more can I ask for?

If you sign up for a year, that’s now only $100 instead of $200 dollars! A good deal… It’s too bad I can’t use it, since I’m a customer already :(

If you decide to sign up, please use “thehappygeeks.com” as your referral domain, that way I get a bit of free hosting in return.

Or use this link to get there directly : http://mediatemple.net/go/order/?refdom=thehappygeeks.com (don’t forget to put the coupon code (surfstation) in as well)

I’m not sure how long this coupon will last, so hurry..

Does anyone ever notice on Survivor after they cast their vote at Tribal Council, that Jeff Probst proudly announces “I’ll go tally the votes“.

Well, no. He’s not going to go and tally the votes.. He’s going to get the votes, bring them back and THEN tally them. He makes it sound like he’s going away to tally the votes and then maybe come back later to announce the results.

What he should be saying is “I’ll go and retrieve the votes” or “I’ll go and get the votes”

Sorry for the rant, but that bugs me every time I watch the show…
