GoDaddy’s shared servers lag

I run my server from GoDaddy, the company that hosts those risque SuperBowl commercials annually. I signed up initially because they offer a SSH login and have cheap rates. The server lag, however, is horrible. I automated an annual sign-up initially, and was planning to cancel my service last month when the contract expired.

Unfortunately, I forgot to cancel the subscription since I was caught up managing some emergency room traumas that week.

Dang you, residency. Damn you, GoDaddy. None of the caching mechanisms ever worked to speed up this website. In fact, I tested the site on a Canadian server, and the ping time was less than half of that of the GoDaddy server. I guess I have to live with it for another year. If you are a web hosting service that buys off GoDaddy fees for switching hosts, contact me!

    hey Patrick, it’s Kam.

    It’s almost a year now and I’m almost done with my internship. Just wanna tell you the great news that I was given the most sought-after Ophthalmology residency offer in Hong Kong. Well..to get that offer, I had passed altogether three rounds and I felt very blessed to have come so far as the one who gets the only one spot in that hospital.

    well, however if you might have noticed, recently some doctors from the medical departments of all hospitals are ranting about the lack of manpower joining their service, as a result of that, the Headquarters have allocated more doctors to them this year, and subsequently my original offer to work at the Hong Kong Eye Hospital is gone.

    nonetheless, I’ll be working in the same department though in a different hospital. It’s the Prince Of Wales Hospital, one of the two teaching hospitals in Hong Kong and this one is affiliated with the Chinese University of Hong Kong (I graduate from the other med school, the University of Hong Kong). well i suppose most stuffs will be the same, like the basics and patient spectrum. I hope I’ll have a great time learning how to be an ophthalmologist.

    meanwhile, please keep on sharing your little fun stories here on your blog. I love to read all of them and especially some of your random rants.

    hope you’re having a great time too in your PGY2. you can visit my blog at kedicine.wordpress.com (it’s sometimes written in eng and chinese). hope you like it and I’m thinking of transferring it to a WORDPRESS.ORG soon. let’s keep in touch!

    Kam, all the way from Hong Kong
