On the TechFront: N79, EC, HyperCache, URL4.biz, and more….

By | March 27, 2009

After my router review, I had to throw away my old DLink when I discovered it was broken (knackered, as they say in Britain). Totally. The aerial fell off the back when I picked it up. Mm. Good build quality. I’m now looking at a Buffalo N-finiti model but haven’t heard anything good or bad about them.

The new Nokia N79 phone is working wonders. I am loving it more each day as I discover what it can do. Today, I changed the image, background theme, and outside panel to a light green. Nice.

You can still get 100 EC if you sign up for my InvestorBlogger feed here, and you’re a member of Entrecard. Try it out. The system has been a bit flaky of late as upgrades are carried out. It’s the principal reason I quit EC before. Let’s see what happens, though.

I have just installed an alternate caching system. I tried WP-cache which is reliable, but getting old. I then tried SuperCache which just crashes each time I try it out. I can’t figure out why a cache plugin needs another cache plugin to work. So now I’m on Hypercache. And it seems fast and smooth.

Last of all, I signed up for a really short URL. I was surprised it’s only four (yes four characters) and is on the biz TLD. It’s a good name. I’m going to start a URL forwarding business offering premium forwarding URLs with the domain URL4.biz (how neat is that… the domain was unregistered!).
