I’ve finally relocated the hosting for my domain to another server which I don’t have to pay extra for at least. Now I can cancel my hosting account. Mail seems to work fine, both receiving it and delivering. It’s kinda cool now as I have more control over the server and can set everything up just the way I want to which is great 
Work has been pretty busy lately and we were on vacation a few months back so I haven’t posted much but it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve been playing around with the Java Printing API at work and it looks like a nice API but once again, as in everything with Java it’s very extensible and configurable to do whatever you want, but if you want to do simple printing without knowing much about how it works, you *can’t*. You have to learn quite a few things before you can do anything useful. There is also a nice printing framework outlined in several Javaworld aritcles which I think I will use in the future.
The situation is the same for tables in Java for example, as I read recently I think in a post on Joel’s website. If you just want a simple table filled with data that knows how to sort itself based on columns, etc. in VB it’s really a lot simpler than in Java. In Java you have to know a LOT about TableModels and DefaultTableModels and TableCellRenderers and DefaultTableCellRenderers and God knows what else. As Joel rightly said, theyve made things extra complicated just to accomodate the chance that maybe 10% of people would like more flexibility.
Glad that rant is off my chest
