Hello From Accross The Pond

[Tearstone]

My name is Russ Sanderlin and I am from Orlando, FL USA.



I thought when I saw the link for this site it might have been for Melbourne FL. :lol:



I have considered moving to Australia since I have a business partner in Perth that I've been dealing with for 5 years.

hi tearstone,



australia is a great place! but then again i am sure Orlando has some nice features too.



i have heard from a lot of people that perth is a nice place to live. i have been meaning to visit but is quite a long way away from melbourne! perth is a little isolated from the rest of australia but the climate is good and i think the lifestyle is pretty relaxed.



welcome to the forum,



cheers, glen

I was reading up on Perth yesterday and learned how remote it was away from the growth of Eastern Australia but still manages to keep up.



Orlando has a lot of nice attractions Disney, Universal, Busch Gardens, Sea World which is nice for tourists but when you live here you rarely ever go to that side of town to partake in any of the attractions. I only live here because my parents wanted to get closer to Disney and I've lived here most of my life and I'm just looking for a change. My company is still internet based so that leaves me with a degree of mobility <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Just a note about the site, I am having a hard time getting to it reliably so if I have a lack of posting, my apologies.

do you mean my server is down when you try to access the site? the server for this site is actually in the US so you SHOULD have quicker access than the rest of us.

Your using GoDaddy as a host right? Usually they are pretty stable. But I have been having a very difficult time reliably getting to the site or using it for any extended amount of time. So I hope GoDaddy works out their issues.

actually the domain is registered with godaddy but i am hosted with another company called asmallorange. they have been OK in the past but I have been having a few complaints lately from people being unable to get to the site. hopefully the problem will magically go away! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> otherwise i will dig deeper.
