Just renewed endtoend-cycle.com

End to End cycle (JOGLE)	 End to End cycle (JOGLE) websiteI am sure that most of you will know that I cycled from John O’Groats to Land’s End (JOGLE) way back in August 2009. I have just renewed the domain for the website went with the cycle for another 3 years. At a cost of £46.96 and that’s with a 10% off.

If you have never checked out my End to End cycle website, please do so!!

MSN to close 15th March 2013

MSN logoI am sure that most of you will know by now that MSN closes on 15th March. If you already have me on MSN, please re-add me to your Skype account. I use the same username on both. Just Skype does have not the “@yahoo.com” bit at the end of it.

Moving to a new server (9th January 2013)

34SP logoI 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.
