Greengeeks are … Crap, Rubbish, Awful, Terrible, Horrible, Slow, Waste Of Money
I “inherited” a hosting account with Greengeeks via my business partner. Our sites used to be hosted with them, but we’re currently moving away from them, because, to be blunt, they are awful in so many ways.
Robert Lee had this to say, which pretty much sums up how I feel about them :

WTF ? Artic Ice Cap Is Growing NOT Shrinking ? – Don Charisma’s Opinion
For many years I was led (or misled ?) to believe that our greed in burning fossil fuels (to keep us warm and have light at night ?) and releasing CFCs from Fridges (to prevent our food rotting quickly ?) … Continue reading WTF ? Artic Ice Cap Is Growing NOT Shrinking ? – Don Charisma’s Opinion

Kim Davis – Bigot Or Hero ? – Don Charisma’s Opinion
Fairly straightforward, Kim Davis was supposed to issue marriage licenses to same-sex marriage couples, as is “the law”, but refused to, due to her personal beliefs being in opposition … now she’s in jail, and refuses to comply …

WARNING – Beware Of PayPal Phishing Emails
I’ve received now a second email from an unknown source that masquerades as an official PayPal email. The idea of the sender is to get me to disclose my login details of my PayPal account, so that they can rob me, basically.

can-am spyder

Gazette Theme – A New Look For DonCharisma.org
I’ve been using the same WordPress.com theme ever since I started my blog, the “Titan” theme. WordPress “Retired” my old theme some time ago, and I’ve just done the same today.
