Differences and Sameness
April 22nd, 2008
It never ceases to amaze me how two or more people can do basically the same things online. They can use the same web hosting, same blog platform, same blog plug-ins, the same operating system and Internet browser, etc. And yet one will have no problems while the other experiences difficulty after difficulty. From hosting errors and outages to browser crashes and plug-in failures, to operating system glitches.
I bring this up because I know of a colleague who has been having chronic difficulties with her Linux hosting, which I have never had trouble with.. I put her in touch with a friend of mine who is about as clever with such things as one can get. He found a company for her that offers asp.net web hosting. For her purposes, for reasons I certainly am incapable of understanding, aspx was more reliable and just the right solution at the right time for her situation.
