Note to self:
I will definitely need this very soon for my home security cameras

Remote Access with Dynamic DNS

Remote access your computer, DVR, webcam, security camera or any internet connected device easily. Dynamic DNS points an easy to remember hostname to your dynamic IP address.

Quick link - Another Hosted server solution

Am saving this link on my blog so i can refer to it later when am looking for a hosted server solution.

Servers and Virtualization

Hardware you trust: your VPS servers will be located on trustedSupermicro servers with Intel Xeon CPUs, ECC RAM and Intel SSD drive arrays. Servers are never overprovisioned, meaning you will have enough power to run your applications any time.

With OpenVZ container virtualization we make sure your VPS RAM won't be spent for running Linux kernel or system drivers. All of the memory will be available for your applications and software.

My Android Phone Keeps loosing the network connection

Problem:

My android device keeps loosing network connection and every time i have to reboot it or manually search for network operator before it can reconnect again.

Solved:

Lock the phone to 2G only.
This bug is common with network operators who have both 2G and 3G networks operational.
if you phone is set to "Auto" latch onto 2G/3G, it will tend to loose the network sometimes.
You will realize that if you transfer the SIM card to a 2G only phone, the situation will be normal.

once i realized that, i decided to set my phone "network mode" to 2G only and it has been stable ever since:


Go to Settings

Click More ...

Go to Mobile Networks

Network Mode

Choose 2G only
