Just a quick note so I can find it back later: Check out Networked Tools for Teams at ProjectConnections.

Thanks Eugene.
Since 2000 or so, I regularly use a Hoshin sheet to jumpstart new projects or business.

Gave Erik Venema a call this morning. Still troubles with version incompatibility between PHP, Plesk, and Virtuozzo. Must be fixed to be safe and secure for real VPS.
Again, patience is golden.

Word from Erik Venema from DutchNet:
The VPS server will be moved to Amsterdam on Wednesday. We’ll give it a good final test on Thursday so you can have your VPS on Friday.
Well, wish you succes in doing so Erik! Keep me posted please. I’ve been “off-line” for too long now.

Time to quickly find another, more local, provider and move.

Digitale LEGO® moeiteloos doorlopend actueel zonder handmatig onderhoud via mashups”’.
