Integrating Facebook with our blogs
Aug 31st
I decided to start doing a bit more social with our blogs and signed up for the facebook api integration. In our blog posts you’ll notice the I Like Facebook buttons and the ability to login using your facebook account. One of the additional features we’ve included is the ability to comment using your facebook account.
There were two plugins we used: WP-FacebookConnect and Facebook Like. The idea of using these plugins and integrating our blogs to facebook is to generate more traffic and make it easier for our readers to comment on blog posts. We hope you like these features.
Which nameservers should I use on a godaddy grid hosting?
Aug 4th
Today I spent half a day trying to migrate a website. We ended purchasing new grid hosting on godaddy for a domain and went a head configuring and setting up everything. The process seemed easy at first – the setup only took a few minutes and then we just waited. The most complex part was to configure DNS and nameservers. You complete this step when you configure the hosting and I thought I completed this section correctly. So I just waited… and it should have been updated within 4 hours but it appeared that the website wasn’t active. We waited for a few hours and then I decided to look into this further. I checked the Account Summary page and noticed that the A record didn’t exist. I found this quite odd. I checked the godaddy help pages to confirm the nameservers and this what was on the page:
July 27, 2009 — Present
ns25.domaincontrol.com
ns26.domaincontrol.com
So obviously I used the above servers since I just signed up for the hosting. I waited for a few more hours and still the site was not alive. Feeling frustrated I knew it had to be a DNS issue. Upon further investigating the issue I noticed that the nameserves configures in the DNS Domain Manager was different to what was on the website help pages. This is what I saw (scroll to the bottom of the DNS Domain Manager):
The solution was simple: I changed the nameservers to ns01.domaincontrol.com and ns02.domaincontrol.com and it worked straightaway. To verify the DNS I used a website called http://www.zoneedit.com – this way I could make sure that my ISP wasn’t the cause of DNS not propagating the change.

3D videos on Youtube
May 31st
I have a sneaking suspicion that Youtube will soon start showing 3D videos especially when 3D televisions are becoming more popular and affordable. What do you think?

Great ADSL2 speeds in Parramatta
Mar 26th
We just subscribed to an ADSL2+ Internet connection in our office and I was so surprised to see connection speeds from the modem:
DSP Firmware Version E.67.2.37
Connected true
Operational Mode G.Dmt.BisPlus
Annex Type ADSL2M
Upstream 812900
Downstream 18266900
Here’s the test results from Oz Speed Test:
[(Mirror: [*Optus*]
Data: [*3 MB*]
Test Time: [*2.27 secs*])]
[(Your line speed is [*10.82 Mbps*] (10815 kbps).
Your download speed is [*1.32 MB/s*] (1352 KB/s). )]
Yes, I believe we are only a few meters from the Parramatta exchange so hence the reason for the good speeds.
