What a day Friday was, we had so much to do, Tracey had the opticians in the morning, I had to go get season tickets for my father inlaw and I to see our local soccer team next season, we had to get grocery shopping done and then we had to go view and test [...]

Buying a motor home or RV

By Greg - Last updated: Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Yea this is a strange one. Let me start with some history, we have a tent that we hardly use, we did have a 25 ft caravan which we used but not much, we have never had a motor home but I have always wanted one since I was a kid. NOTE : I wanted [...]

Oh this is not good

I have mentioned on here that I am struggling sitting at the keyboard without a ciggarette in my hand/mouth, well this past fortnight has just endorsed that. I don’t know why but for about the last week or so I have spent no more than a couple of hours in any one day sat at [...]

Been looking at the database systems

By Greg - Last updated: Tuesday, May 19, 2009

After the problems EC experienced last week, and the odd problems like server timeouts it has continued to experience I have spent some extra time thinking about the database system I plan to use. Apparently EC use a database that is stored  in memory space rather than on the hard drive. I can see that [...]

There appears to server problems over at Entrecard at the moment but no announcements about any problems on their blog nor forums that I can see. I had an add that should have ran on the 12th May, and one that should have started on the 13th, both are still ‘approved’ and have not ran. [...]

New site delayed a little

By Greg - Last updated: Monday, May 11, 2009

OK the new EC clone site is still being developed, unfortunately me giving up the smokes has caused a delay. I have spent time doing jobs in the garden to keep me occupied so I am not graving for a smoke, as soon as I sit down at the computer the cravings sneak back. Thankfully [...]

My pockets aren’t deep enough!

By Greg - Last updated: Thursday, May 7, 2009

I am really getting pissed lately, when ever I go out in the car, the loose change always falls out of my pocket, down the side of the seat and more often than not under the bloody runners so there is no way of getting it out without dismantling the seat. Why is it pockets [...]

I have spent this morning trying to figure out why a script wasn’t doing what it should, 3 hours on and it appears to have been a simple typo. I could screem right now

Someone very smart once said there would not be a black president until pigs flew. And on Day 100 of Obama’s reign, the outbreak of the swine flu was announced…

We did it!

With all that’s been going on over the past week, working on new site, quitting smoking etc I forgot to say that DropaHolics has broken through the 1000 blogs monitored. I must stress, that even with the new site coming, dropaholics will remain as it is for EC users, I will not be altering it [...]
