Removing VBSEO and updating to vBulletin 4

Friday, December 4th, 2009

After alot of research i have decided to remove vbseo from the Bluepearl Design forums and update to vBulletin 4. The process went perfectly without any problems.

To be honest I am really only interested in URL rewrites, and in the last few years I have found VBSEO to be bloated and support lacking.

For anybody else interested in uninstalling VBSEO I have found this good post

ATI HD5850 XFX just awesome

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Yesterday my new ATI HD5850 XFX arrived and i love it.

So far i have played every game i play COD4, Need for Speed Shift, Street Fighter IV and Fallout 3 maxed details and resolution at 1920×1200 with very high FPS. Never drops below 80FPS.

I am glad i decided to go with the 5850 instead of the 5870 or the new 5970 as these cards are proberly overkill right now with no DX11 games out.

No custom work for a few months

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Today i decided that after i finish these 2 projects i am working on, i will not be doing any custom work for a few months.

I want to spend the next few months finishing and launching 2 of my own sites that i am working on. I also would love to be able to finish Bluepearl Design before christmas lol

I will post more details about my new projects once i have them ready for online use and testing.

Major updates

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

I am still working hard on updating my own sites while still completing work for my clients.

Due to limited time i am doing my clients work before my own just until i am on top of things.

I will also be working hard on updating all my phpBB and vBulletin templates.

Welcome to Bluepearl Blog,

This is now the 3rd fresh installation i have done in the last year. :(

Unfortunately due to a plugin i installed for WordPress this site was tagged as a phishing site by google. I decided the best way to be completely sure this server was 100% clean was to delete and start over.

I will be blogging and creating tutorials again shortly
