Out of the blue I received this error tonight when looking at my awstats stats

“Failed to write temporary history file”

First I thought something happened with the permissions because I had recently been playing with the .htaccess file. After a few failed attempts with adjusting permissions and the htaccess file I looked elsewhere.  

The problem was I had run out of disk space. I added some disk space to the account and all is well.

Bluehost Review 

If you intend to use Bluehost for Shared SSL service, read this first:

All customers of bluehost are sharing 1 SSL cert on 1 server. All customers.

The secure address is https://secure.bluehost.com/

The massive amount of activity on this 1 server makes it unusable at times and very slow at the best of times.

Bluehost does offer ability to upgrade to a private SSL for a resonable price but I can’t see upgrading there because of the low limits they put on CPU usage before they 301 redirect your whole account to a CPU overuse message page that makes that sends a website visitor into la-la land. Since they are redirected, if they try to reload the page they will never get back to your site and using the back button will only further redirect every page to the same CPU overusage page. They can go all the way back and still never be able to just hit reload to bring the site back up. If they go all the way back they’ll have to type in the URL to try to reload the page or close the window and start over.  

Phone support at Bluehost is good but email support is horrible usually taking 3-5 days or more for a response if you get a response at all.

If they would just fix the shared SSL problem and the CPU overuse and allotment they would have darn good service.

I recently installed internet explorer version 7 and noticed I no longer have a cookies folder. With IE 6 the folder was located at

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies

I went into a folder, clicked Tools -> Folder Options -> View and unchecked “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)” and now the cookies folder is back at the same location it was previously:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies

Now back in IE 7, another way to access the cookies without showing all the protected operating system files.

Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Browsing History -> Settings -> View Files

will allow you to access the cookies also, but they are mixed with all the temporary internet files so they are inconvenient to browse this way. View files by type to make it a little easier.
