In my business, I go through servers like the rest of the planet goes through socks. I am in a perpetual need of development servers, testing servers and just basic disposable servers. I frequently use VPSes as they are fairly inexpensive, quick to deploy, and easy to get rid of. However, the billing is not really rigged to support guys like me that need a server for a couple of days or even a couple of hours.
Enter GoGrid – servers by the hour.

I use Google Chrome for Linux and thoroughly enjoy it. I use Ubuntu, and therefore Gnome which has no default browser. Gnome desktops ship with Firefox and I agree that’s probably a good decision. There’s no sense re-inventing yet another browser. The KDE project has their own browser (Konqueror) and that also makes sense but only because Konq is so much more than just a browser.
Firefox 3.x on my AMD 64-bit Ubuntu machine is abysmally slow. Some rudimentary Googling seems to indicate that there is something wrong with the handling of Ajax in Firefox which jives with my experience. I have bobbed around using Opera and other browsers but they all kind of suck for one reason or another. I am very, very happy that Google Chrome is out and that it works so well.
Being Firefox alumni, I am used to plugins. Google Chrome comes to the table with Extensions – a new name for the same thing. My workstation really is a workstation. I don’t game at all and there’s almost nothing on my machine that isn’t related to work and that also applies to my choice of extensions. Here’s a quick list of the extensions I currently have installed.

For many of us there comes a time when we want to delete one or more of our various social media accounts. In some cases, this is as easy as using the account deletion option within the social media site itself. Other social networks are so interlinked (hello, Facebook) that simply deleting your account doesn’t delete all of the traces of your existence. Photos, comments, and Lord only knows what else is left behind. For those sites, it helps to have a little web Morgantaler help.
