A Better Mitter

As for many Linux users should have known, Mitter is one of my favorite open-source, and cross-platform client for Twitter, it’s a Linux native application runing both PyGTK and on a console/terminal.

The latest version of Mitter is 0.4.5, you can download it here or run yum install mitter in the command line to install it in your system.

Web Hosting Reviews (Hostgator and Bluehost)

Hi, there, this is Charles, glad to see all of you here. First of all, I have some questions to ask you: do you write blogs? Do you have a personal blog? And where is your blog hosted? Is your blog Hosted in a BSP (Blog Service Provider, like Wordpress.com) or your self-hosted? This is a review of the best web hosting companies, which can help you to pick the right hosting company, if you want to have a  personal self-hosted blog or your own like me.

Compared with any BSP blog, for example, http://pengjiayou.wordpress.com, you have a personal domain name of your own, like http://www.charlespeng.com , this is your personal identification on the whole net, because it is unique. As you know, both wordpress.com blog and my blog are all driven by Wordpress blog software, but things are quite different, you don’t have full permission to do things you want on wordpress.com, however, if you download wordpress software and upload and install to your own personal hosting, you will have the ability to do whatever you want (upload and backup files, upload and active any wordpress themes or plugins, backup your blog posts … etc). What you need is just a personal domain name and a comfortable, high-quality, fast and secure web hosting service. Here we go!

To register a domain name of your own, is a quite easy thing, I recommend GoDaddy or DomainSite, these are my current domain names providers that I like,  type a name you prefer, and then search, if it’s not regsited, fill in your own information and make payment, and the domain is yours! (Please don’t walk away, if you register one of the hosting companies for one year which I recommend below, you will get your own domain name free of charges, and you can also get some money returned from me, this is not a joke, that is to say, your first year of self-hosting will be more cheaper, please go on).

I’m Lovin’ My Job

I'm Lovin' My Job

I got two orders this morning, about 1k usd each, these are small orders,  just trial orders for my customers. Anyway, I think I’ve done a good job :roll:

I’m already bored with this job working here for one year and half, things are harder and harder as what I didn’t meet before, goods can hardly be sent through Chinese customs, and there’s always a risk that the goods might be held at customs in any other countries. That’s a headache for me all the time.
