Addictive flash/iPhone game: canabalt
Elwoodicious just wrote an interesting price on elastic load balancing with amazon’s virtual servers: http://elwoodicious.com
RPS a uk pc gaming site/blog got mentioned on a BBC news article about the laws of war, and how they’re broken in computer games
That’s all for today!
I don’t like them. But, at least some of them I can work around using bash, logfiles, awk, grep, tail, cut and netstat are handy tools 🙂
That’s all for today, I’m afraid. Not much else to talk about 🙁
Hopefully I’ll be able to produce some proper posts next week!
Hard day today. Can’t go into details, but emergency work always trumps scheduled work,unfortunately.
Not much fun stuff today. I’ve been re-reading crimsondark.com, a really good web-comic. Updates on Mondays, needs help funding hosting at the moment 🙂
Got to be quick. Today is the closest ie come to failing the challenge (using my brothers post earlier to give me a break, hope that doesn’t break the rules!
Today, used the east-coast train. Sat opposite to an older Irish lady, who looked like she had a lot of money, and seemed a little rude, the little I spoke to her. Don’t know if she was or not, it was very early in the morning. Then spent the rest of the day preparing a server, to move a site onto it in a rush this weekend. Kinda out-grown shared hosting all of a sudden, being a Christmas targetted website! Mine because I phoned the customer with the “we need to turn you off” call 😉 fun fun. Anyway must post. Cutting it fine!
Today, I pushed through some paperwork for a server migration I’ll be doing this weekend. Tweaked dns, tweaked cong files, etc etc.
Monitored Stephen Fry’s cluster closely whilst he was live-streaming a talk about social networking. Pretty much it.
Today, I, tweaked a domain name, helped talk a customer into upgrading, changed a few passwords, advised a user on a script I helped write, to add apache vhost, user, email, mysql db & user to a server and closed a few support tickets. Oh, and talked to a customer who is leaving. Fun fun.
Note to self, when cutting up chillies, loose the seeds.
Fun tweets today (sorry if you follow me on twitter!)
Every now and then, I forget to check my trousers for tissues before putting them through the wash. It’s not a mistake I’m likely to repeat too often, you’d think?
Once a year, give or take.
It’s so annoying! Maybe one of these days, the lesson will become permanent. Well, it wasn’t today (
You find the strangest things in London. Took this whilst on holiday, wandering over Vauxhall Bridge.
So, got futher this year 🙂
Still another nothing happened day, nothing to post about. Now you know why I don’t post so much 🙂
Walked past the poster at the bottom of this post the other day. What a load of rubbishy ramblings. What is the point of pasting that up outside a train station? It won’t get your (daft) point across to anyone. Good way to vent I guess. Apart from that,and being slightly offensive 😉
It’s official, Christmas is fast approaching. We’ve got the adverts, and after having seen the first christmasy thing a couple of months ago, now the shops are starting to put up their decoration. Still think it’s too early!
Mainly this post is a holding one, since not much happened today either. Still got the ticket open from ‘won’t listen’, just slowly talking him the issues he has with his site (more PEBKAC than anything else, but I don’t mind that as long as the user listens!).
Tickets, train ride home from the datacentre in the middle of the day, then more tickets. Pretty much sums up today.
