Just time to do a post for the regular contest that goes on whenever there is a rollover on the Euromillion Lottery draw, just comment with your guess of 2 different numbers between 1 and 9 and if yours come up on this Fridays draw, you win a pair of these awesome Vmoda headphones.
Extended for one week!
Due to the Euromillions rolling over again this week (and my complete ineptitude for coming up with a subject for my next post) this contest is open until the 9th of May and all previous guesses that didn’t match for the last draw on the 2nd can carry over for this Friday 9th.
Good luck… I’m on a full calender of appointments this month so I might not be posting much during May, I’m still working behind the scenes on commentluv whenever I get a few minutes and the remote script is handling the load (it’s processed over 10,000 last blog posts in the past 7 days!!)

I had reason to call the people at TomTom today to ask why they didn’t have the facility for businesses to add their details to the TomTom POI database. I can navigate to a POI on route with my tomtom 910 and it has all macdonalds restaurants already included out of the box so it seemed reasonable to assume that there was a mechanism in place for people to submit their business details to TomTom so it would be included in everyone’s TomTom software (when it gets updated).
The guy at TomTom said it was a good idea and will pass it on to the marketing department. I know that there are 3rd party POI lists out there but you need to actually download and install them yourself but I think that it would a good (and maybe profitable) thing for TomTom to have a constantly updating business POI list for restaurants, hotels and bars etc that are included in all new products and updates.

oh dear, I tried to move commentluv to it’s own dedicated server and I did it too quickly without thinking it through properly and now all the versions above 0.999 are having problems..
sorry if you’re here to ask why it’s posting code instead of the last blog post.
I am in the middle of an important contract so I can’t fix the problem until the middle of the week, so sorry!
I think I have the problem solved now! please let me know if v1.5 is having any issues…

bloody server! had to update commentluv 3 times today

Sorry if you’re having problems with commentluv plugin, I’ve been having real issues with my nameservers and dedicated server. I’ve moved the feed retrieving file to FiddyP.com now and I think that’s the best place for it.
Along the way of all these changes, I’ve learned not to get a dedicated server from streamline.net
I noticed that my disk usage was over 50GB and I only host 4 sites on my server, I sent them an email asking where this extra space usage was coming from and do you know what the expected me to accept as an answer??? – “that’s space taken up by the OS and plesk”
don’t make me bloody larrrrf. OS using up over 50GB? eejits
turns out it was the log files, fancy that, log files taking up 50gb. doh
