Planete Fortier
It's been a while since I last blogged. We had some problems with our server in the United Kingdom which mostly reliabilty and speed of service. I am rather annopyed because I have been a strong supporter of local business for long time but in some cases, especially this one, it really is better to move on to bigger host that has dedicated support staff and native support for databases. This new site is still being run by an Access DB, although I am looking at porting it to MySQL very soon. Mostly I am annoyed at losing www.fortier.co .uk but the local company I was using where asking for the same amount that both www.planetefotier.com and www.planetfortier.com as well as two years of server hosting. Mad isn't it? I won't go into too many details because this blog was not intended to be a flame about the old ISP.
Another big change that has kept me away from that blog, was the birth of my daughter Madeleine and the start of my new job not necessarily in that order. Madeleine is about 2 and a half months old now and is a real little sweetheart. We have been real lucky as she sleeps real well at night. Chloe has been great with her and not jealous at all, she really loves her little sister and is a great help looking after her.
On the job front I am now working on the web fulltime again for a great company Motorola E-store, CBCI Telecom a major Bell Mobility and audio video reseller, andthe Aliant Mobilty e-store in Atlantic Canada are just to name a few.
So hopefully I will be a little more consistent with my blogging. One thing that I am really excited about is the launch of Firefox 1.0. With all this extra space, I might tust join the Spread Firefox Campaign and make the browser available here for download to. More on that later.
