I have moved to CloudFlare

I had been using FreeDNS. I liked how they were offering a free DNS service. Of course it being free, there was a downside. You had to share your domain with other users. Basically if somebody wanted to create a subdomain on your domain, you would have to allow it. This made me little worried, but I still used it. The thing that made me change to CloudFlare was FREEDNS’ recent hardware problems, which made my site unavailable. So far CloudFlare seems to be offering much better service and I hope that they live up their promises.

Bottom line is, I don’t recommend FreeDNS to anyone, since there are better services out there that do the job without you having to share your own domain to other people.

Me and Dropbox

I have been using Dropbox since 2009, so I’m no stranger to it. I am using it to share random files and screenshots with friends, but there is one thing that bugs me when it comes to Dropbox. There is no internal way to see how many people have clicked the public link to a file hosted on my Dropbox account. I know you can use URL-shortener to see how many times a link has been accessed. Even though there isn’t a feature like this implemented in Dropbox, I’m not going to stop using it, but it would be great tool to have. I’m a fan of stats.

While I’m on the subject, it’s good to have it added for Playstation 3. I like this addition and most likely I will use it a lot when I need to move files from my laptop to my PS3. I have also linked my Android tablet, Asus Transformer and my cellphone, ZTE Blade to my Dropbox so I can easily move files between them. It’s so easy to move pictures taken with cellphone to Dropbox so I can share them instantly with my friends. Dropbox introduced a new instant upload feature in their new Android app, which I like. They are going to right direction with the features!
