Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?  

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dreamhost

And if you decide to go with them, I'd love it if you'd let my mother's chorus refer you. They could use the money.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I use Apollo and I've been pretty happy with them.

Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.

Mostly I like it because it syncs bookmarks between 'puters. What seems weirdest to me is if I click on a link on my home computer, that link will appear purple on my work computer. I'm so used to the "link color change after you've been there" thing only applying to the computer I'm currently on....

I use jumpline.com for hosting and it works pretty well. It is pretty good with multiple domains as well.

As long as we are discussing hosting - anyone have an experiences with bulletin board hosts?

Any thoughts on readybb (which uses phpbb) or bulletinboards.com? Any other hosts. We need passwords and no ads or popups - so probably are not looking for free. (Not saying we would turn free down if it did everything we wanted. Or ponys.)

I've found that using phpbb on a regular web hosting service works very well.

This is going to be maintained by various volunteers with random levels of competence who will run out of time or lose interest and be replaced by others. I intend NOT to be technical support - but will probably not win that fight. Does generic hosting make sense for those circumstances?

Hmmm... once phpbb is installed (and it isn't very hard to do), there isn't really a lot to do to keep it running and the administrative tools are all web GUI stuff. My phpbb boards have been pretty small affairs though.
