HourTracker 3.0

It's about 7 years since last HourTracker update. Back at those days, a disaster happened and result was that source code of HourTracker corrupted permanently. This cause endless amount of errors in code. There were so many errors that it drained all my motivation to continue with HourTracker. During years, once in a while I have tried to bring it back to life, but time wasn't very gental over it - each API update, each iOS update, just brought it further and further away from bringing HourTracker back, eventually I came to conclusion that project is dead as-is. I decided to begin from scratch, old code helped a lot to re-build support for older format's databases and backup files and on so much more.. Finally I got it to release ready - and now it's just about waiting for Apple to let me know if it's approved or not. There's ton of new features and also for contractor, there isn't just Invoices anymore, there's also brand new Business package available as a subscription.

End of ERA - Farewell and a tribute for VPSCheap

My hosting relied for a long time on a service provided by VPSCheap which was a great service for very long time for very affordable price. Whilst price increased slowly and in my opinion, available options and server controlling went to wrong way; those options and controls are not something you fiddle around daily, so it still was great. But now it is time for me to move my service to another hosting provider. Thank you VPSCheap, it was one good and long run.

Upgrading rauta.eu

• Upgrade #1: VPS server
  Rauta.eu has been upgraded. I decided to change hosting company and package. New host seems to be a lot faster than previous one. Also it's much more flexible than my previous hosting service was able to provide. New hosting isn't just hosting, it's a VPS server. I am very pleased on it - much more configuration when compared to plain hosting as I need to set it up all from the beginning, but on the other side - there's no more bottlenecks provided by hosting company, it's all up to me.
  
  
• Upgrade #2: KVM server
  Hunger grew while eating. I upgraded my server again and this time I chose a KVM server to enable virtualized tasks. I also created a completely customized environment for my server. It took a while to get things the way I want 'em to be, but it was worth it - now I am running with completely customized server for my needs.
