Skeater's Blog

So I've bored of 1and1 internet being rubbish and stupid, so I'm switching over to a Rackspace Cloud Server.

They've got mixed reviews, but for my purposes I think they'll be fine and receiving positive reviews. They're support is already being very helpful.

I've been thinking of doing it for a while but after over 24 hours of my server being down, I decided they've had enough of my money.

So for the rest of this week things may be a little patchy on the Willshaw Media server... but hopefully it wont be long before everything's settled down and running luvverly and fast again.

Ok, so it's not directly for me, but it's for some work I've done!

Mirror.co.uk article

I MADE THAT APP! For a client, but still it's nice seeing it in the paper! And yes it may only be the mirror, but Quentin Wilson wrote the article!

So once again I've left it about a million years to post, but that's my style.

I really like the idea of blogging and often have many wonderful things to say, but I'm not usually close enough to a computer to actually blog.

I have started to Tweet a bit though, and I follow people lots, I think I get Twitter now.

But in recent months there has been an influx of modern fancy web connected devices into my life, so hopefully I can write down and record these ideas on the go and update more often.

Anyways, coming up this week:

• Skeatermedia.co.uk to be redesigned again!
• Willshawmedia portfolio to reappear
• iOS app number 1 to be released
• I rant about big companies, and getting stuff for free off them
• I do a techie geeky post about how I work and I invite you all to comment!

But the shockingest news... I've got an iPhone. And I'll probably buy a Mac of some sort too.

But I'll always have my PC, and she'll always be in charge.

I started this site ages ago – Wii20.co.uk

Nintendo give you 500 wii points if you help someone connect to the internet. To prove you’ve helped them, you swap “Wii numbers” – this is like the Wii’s own telephone number.

Once you’ve added your friend’s wii number to your console, and your friend adds your number to theirs, you automatically get an extra 500 points added to you Wii shop channel balance!

If you get 20 people to do it, you get all the Nintendo Virtual console games for free… plus you’ll have about 10,000 points by then!

Even by 10 swapped numbers you get all the NES games for free!

You do have to exchange Wii numbers within 30 days of connecting to the internet though, so everyone who’s already connected can “help” others connect, but can’t be “helped” themselves.

Wii20.co.uk has been set up so you can find these Wii numbers to exchange with other Wii owners. I don’t have 18 friends with a new Wii (I obviously had 2 though!) so that’s why I built the site!

You can “help” as many people as you like, but you can only be “helped” yourself once.

I’ve already got 1,000 Wii points from it, so spread the word, sign up, and help me get Pilot wings from the Wii shop channel for FREE!!
