| chilts | morning | 20:08 |
| * chilts went to CloudCamp on Friday | 20:09 | |
| ibeardslee | good? | 20:09 |
| chilts | I'm over unconferences - they don't work :) | 20:09 |
| chilts | it was semi-interesting | 20:09 |
| ibeardslee | .. I'll take that as a 'no' | 20:09 |
| chilts | heh | 20:09 |
| chilts | it's just an excuse for the organisers to not do any work | 20:09 |
| ibeardslee | did you get anything out of it? | 20:11 |
| ibeardslee | did you get anything *useful* out of it? | 20:11 |
| chilts | I found out that there are very few providers of VPS servers within NZ | 20:20 |
| chilts | I think I know of only a handful and even then it's hard to figure out | 20:20 |
| chilts | RimuHosting I knew of ages ago, but I find them expensive | 20:20 |
| * ibeardslee uses them | 20:21 | |
| * ajmitch has considered using them | 20:22 | |
| ajmitch | currently using dedicated servers at webdrive | 20:23 |
| chilts | WOW, VPS servers at WebDrive start at $299/mth - that's rediculous | 20:24 |
| chilts | _everything_ in NZ is expensive | 20:24 |
| mwhudson | ! | 20:24 |
| mwhudson | morning | 20:25 |
| * chilts clarifies | 20:25 | |
| chilts | all VPS hosting in NZ is expensive | 20:25 |
| chilts | and 256MB memory VPSs are not under consideration :) | 20:25 |
| ajmitch | isn't NZ fun? | 20:25 |
| chilts | yup, I love it here :) | 20:26 |
| chilts | that's the best thing | 20:26 |
| ajmitch | I don't know if we'd have the demand here for someone to sell low-cost VPSes | 20:26 |
| ajmitch | I'm happy with linode for personal use, but we want something in ZN for work | 20:26 |
| ajmitch | s/ZN/NZ/ :) | 20:26 |
| hads | chilts: Sitehost | 20:47 |
| hads | Nice guys, great support, decent pricing (for NZ), unmetered peered traffic | 20:49 |
| ajmitch | from $30 a month, that's a bit more reasonable | 20:49 |
| hads | I've had a server there for a couple of years. | 20:49 |
| hads | I use Linode for personal stuff too. Had a server in AU but canned it as it was old and expensive. | 20:50 |
| ibeardslee | my rimuhosting vps is $40.37 a month | 20:52 |
| ibeardslee | they've been fairly onto it with issues | 20:53 |
| mwhudson | if only you could buy vps hosting on trademe | 21:11 |
| * mwhudson is having that retail vs trademe price shock again | 21:11 | |
| mwhudson | DSE 3m hdmi cable: $99; trademe: $13 ($18 with postage) | 21:12 |
| chilts | yeah, Dickies have always screwed you with HDMI cables (as do most retailers) | 21:13 |
| chilts | not sure why - still relatively new I suppose | 21:13 |
| * chilts looks at Sitehost | 21:13 | |
| mwhudson | it seems to be the case for any small scale electronics items though really | 21:14 |
| chilts | at some stage, I'm hoping the company can afford dedicated servers, which will be quite nice (esp. local servers) | 21:15 |
| chilts | then it'll be SPEEEEEDY!!! | 21:15 |
| chilts | not that it isn't already | 21:16 |
| hads | Trademe needs to loose it's market dominance, their fees are extortionate. | 21:33 |
| ibeardslee | a while back I was reading something somewhere about how e-bay reckon NZ is about the only country where they too much compitition from a local | 21:44 |
| Atamira | afternoon | 23:33 |
