Hi, my name's Terry Quested. I am a retired cumputer programmer and now run the Pattaya Bridge Club in Thailand. Pattaya is Thailand's fun beach holiday resort, it's a great place to visit and an even better place to retire to. I spend the majority of my time running
One of the benefits of running a website as opposed to a more "fixed" bricks and mortar company is the fact tha you can run your business from anywhere in the world. I am currently vacationing in Turkey, at the wonderful Kempinski Hotel in Barbaros Bay. My wife and I had specifically checked that the hotel had WiFi, so that we could manage our online companies whilst away. Unfortunately, nature had other plans! We arrived to find forest fires were raging right next to our hotel and no one was allowed access in or out. Obviously there was no telling when we would be able to get in so we were provided with alternative accomodation but without easy access to the internet. Fortunately we were able to check into the hotel the next day but came across another problem. Because Cyberneur is relatively new the site DNS entry hadn't propagated to the server in Turkey so we still couldn't access the site. I noticed that I had set the server up on a shared rather than dedicated IP address and so took the decision to change it (which while affecting users for a short period of time as it made it's way around the world's servers would be better for the long term) Anyway, 24 hours later and we're back up and running. So, I guess the best laid plans don't always mean things will turn out the way you expect, sometimes life has other ideas :-)
