In case you haven’t noticed (all you people who leave comments)
The comments are now handled by sxore which uses SXIP for identity management which whatever that is, has become my authentication system for comments which is totally buzzword compliant.
Also Defcon is out in about 10 minutes so everybody will die shortly!
I’m just a 6th year student who might be dead inside.
Moving on swiftly, I haven’t updated this blog in two weeks mainly because nothing that exciting has happened in the last two weeks. I’ve actually gone out on a saturday night with a friend to a club and ended being pulled onto the dance floor by some random person I did the whole double take look at 5 minutes earlier.
I’m going for my private pilots license with Flightwise where I have one hour of certified flying time already. Now I have to go email them and see when their next groundschool starts. The new server at SoftLayer is working out well so far although getting Ruby on Rails and PHP4 with FastCGI to work properly is turning out to be a pain in my ass.
So thats it for me at the moment, so probably see you in about 2 weeks then.
As some of you may or may not know, I’m involved in EcwHost a very small web hosting company and disaster struck!
We have a server in the US in The Planet which until now were a very decent DC and when the chips were down, in became the biggest pain in the ass to fix. Needless to say myself and Nick were talking about a new server as our old one was getting a bit sluggish to find one morning our current one wouldn’t boot. Oh dear, submitting a ticket to them it was several days and phone call later before we got this resolved. Even then our server was still down, I had managed to convince them to boot Knoppix and turn on SSH so we could move our files.
Now compare this to SoftLayer who after talking to Amanda in sales had my server deployed and ready for my use in 3 or 4 hours and even threw in a free CPU upgrade! (Everyone should do automated image building for servers, its so much faster) and then cPanel fun started.
Doing account transfers manually using cPanel is no easy task at all. For the last few days, I’ve been going to bed at 3 or 4am working on stuff and getting up at 8am to go to school and then come back and do some more work. But this morning I was able to get up at 11am and it was wonderful considering I got most of the issues sorted the night before. Of course there is a few small things to resolve first but otherwise life is good.
when I have money. Since Friday I have ordered the following:
T-Shirts from Threadless
Pre-ordered Dead Rising (Xbox 360) and got Metroid Prime 1 (Gamecube) Play
Book on Networking and Metroid Prime 2 (Gamecube) from Amazon UK
And looking at my online banking tells me I’ve spent about 200 quid in total on that. (Threadless cost me the most) And work are still paying me oddly enough but its not my normal wage and its such an irregular number with 54 cent on top of that. I better call HR this week and find out what the deal is.
And whats with Play’s prices? They offer a euro and sterling option on their site, but if you convert the sterling price using xe.net its cheaper then the euro price listed on the site.
Well at least its only Saturday and there is still a bit of the weekend left. Its going so slow which is lovely considering I have school on Monday.
