No longer be able to collect or spend points with Amazon.co.uk
Looks like, I will no longer be shopping with Amazon.co.uk. I only use to buy things from them so I would also get Nectar points. So I will need to find somewhere else to buy my music and tech stuff from.
“Dear Gordon,
As you have collected Nectar points with Amazon.co.uk via eShops or redeemed points for an Amazon.co.uk Gift Certificate in the past, we are writing to let you know that after 31st January 2013 you will no longer be able to collect or spend points with Amazon.co.uk.
But don’t despair, there are still hundreds of other ways to collect and redeem your Nectar points. A few of our favourites are below, or click here to see them all.
Thank you,
The Nectar Team”

Moving to a new server (9th January 2013)
I got the following email from my host last week.
“As part of an ongoing programme to improve the service we deliver to you, we will be migrating your professional hosting account for gordon-valentine.com from the server currently powering it to a more powerful, up to date server.
As part of this move, Plesk will no longer be involved as the control panel on your server and all changes to your account can be made through our control panel.
Your website will be unavailable for up to an hour next Wednesday 9th January 2013.
E-mail will not be affected during this move.”
So when you can’t access this website for a number of hours today at some point you know why.
