Major hosting troubles!

by Tricia

I’m sorry that I missed Green Thumb Sunday.

I don’t know if any of you read my other blogs but I’ve had some major problems with my web host. Last Thursday they sent me an email telling me that they had moved my domains over to another server because something on my sites was over using the CPU resources on their servers.

I’ve spent the last several days going over all my sites, directories and folders, in order to try to figure out what might be causing the problem. Surely it isn’t purely because my sites are too busy?

I upgraded the software for 9 blogs and two websites. Yeah … that was a lot of work. That’s why I was missing in action.

To top it off on Sunday something went wrong with my main blog Tricia’s Musings and my web host disabled the index file so no one could access my site. We had a guest over for the weekend and Sunday was Canada Day so I didn’t even turn on my computer until the late afternoon. Naturally I almost had a heart attack when I saw that my site was disabled!

My sites are all updated and fixed up and I never did find out what was causing the problem. To the best of my knowledge my sites are still overusing resources. I may have to move them to a virtual private server.

So please forgive me for not posting any Green Thumb Sunday posts. It’s been a rough week.

Make sure you have the best picture on your HDTV with PixelProtector

by Tricia

In the winter, when I can’t garden I often watch whatever gardening shows that are on, and I also enjoy watching nature documentaries. I have an HDTV so the experience of watching some of these types of shows is quite nice as you can see the true color of the plants, flowers and wildlife. In fact the picture is so good that it’s almost life like in quality.

If you have an HDTV as well you might be interested in purchasing PixelProtector . It’s a DVD that helps you analyze your televisions picture and helps you calibrate your televisions picture. I didn’t realize this but poor set up and calibration can actually degrade the quality of your TV’s image and even threaten the life of the unit.

PixelProtector can help you fix screen burn and dead pixels as well as help you set up your TV so it displays the highest quality picture.

You can use PixelProtector with LCD, Plasma and rear projection TV screens. Just follow the instructions as you play the DVD and within a short period of time I’m sure that you’ll notice that your picture is better than it ever was. The DVD sells for quite a reasonable price, especially when you consider that it could extend the life of your expensive TV set.

Visit PixelProtector.com to get more information about this wonderful TV set up and calibration tool.

Find out if your spouse is cheating

by Tricia

I just watched a video for a software product called PC Pandora and I’m totally amazed at what it can do. It’s stealth software for your computer that can monitor every keystroke, and take snap shots of sites visited, IM messages, email, written documents – everything.

PC Pandora was created for three main reasons. Those who want to monitor their children’s activities on the computer and help keep them safe, employers who want to monitor their employees computer activities and perhaps see how they use company data, and of course, the biggest reason of them all, to monitor spouses who might be cheating.

I must admit I was a little skeptical at first as to just how much PC Pandora could capture on a computer but after watching this video I have no doubt that there’s nothing that couldn’t be captured on a computer if PC Pandora was running on it.

Now, I’m certain that I have a good marriage and that my spouse is not, and would never cheat on me. We spend three days a week together and he works just down the street from our home and comes home pretty much right after work all the time. He doesn’t exhibit any of the signs of a cheating spouse. In fact, even though I’m stuck at home with my illness I am probably the one that, if someone took a hard look at our activities, would look more like a spouse who could be cheating due to my long hours on the internet, and late nights up talking to people online and so on. Why would someone suspect me over my husband? Well it’s said that 9 out of 10 people say cheating is easier today than ever before due to the internet and since I spend so much time on the internet I guess that could raise suspicion, if my husband were the suspicious kind.

The video that I watch opened with some amazing facts. Some that I was aware of, and others that I hadn’t heard before. Such as the fact that 57% of women cheat on their partner, and that one in three people have turned an online chat or email into a real life meeting that ended up in sex.

Notice that I said I’m certain that I’m in a good marriage? Did you know that one in two people who consider themselves happily married have also cheated on their spouses? I haven’t. Honest!

If you have reason to suspect that your spouse might be cheating on you a product like PC Pandora can either set your mind at ease, or confirm your worst suspicions. I mean, I don’t think my husband would ever cheat on me, but if I ever had reason to suspect him I’d rather know the truth sooner than later so I could get on with my life.

PC Pandora can be set up to run in stealth mode on your computer so that there is no way anyone but you would know it’s running on the computer. You can set it up to take snap shots at whatever intervals you’d like. For example it could take a screen shot of your spouses online activities every 30 seconds perhaps. You can access all of the data that PC Pandora has collected by using an encrypted password.

You know watching that video and hearing how much cheating is going on was kind of scary. It said that 9 out of 10 women who feel that their partner is cheating are correct, and that three out of four married men cheat on their wives. Wow! With stats like that it seems like most marriages or relationships are doomed.

If you want to check up on your spouse, child or employees Click Here For More Info On PC Pandora. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you – You can try PC Pandora before you buy, and that they offer a money back guarantee. Check it out for yourself.

I’m just hoping that I never have a need to check up on my spouse.
