Month: May 2010

That is correct…. Om nom nom! Last Thursday the 27th, as the coordinator of the project, I got to spend my day thinking “Om nom nom”. What project you say? I shall simply post these photos and let you decide.

If you’re wondering, there are 2712 Original Glazed Krispy Kreme donuts there folks.

Om nom nom! That is all.

Woot! I has new hosting!

Finally, the DNS updated at my ISP. I has a shiny new 512MB VPS slice from eNotch Networks.

Some pretty stats for your enjoyment (feel free to compare these to my previous host which I talked about)

Nice and shiny 100MB link there

Lots of memory! It can still be optimised because Apache is a pain in the rear, I’m thinking of using nginx to cut down that memory even more (of course, this is an OpenVZ container not a Xen so more memory use is to be expected)

A bit of an older CPU but hey, I’m not complaining! At least this host works!

Things to do:

• Install nginx to server static files and proxy to Apache for dynamic files
• Get SVN working
• Django and python!
• Possibly more WordPress to a Python based blog/CMS cause WordPress uses lots of memory
• Any other suggestions?

I’m going to be testing the link speeds to Australia when I SSH out of my school proxy and past the DET firewall in uTorrent 🙂 yay!

Do do do… Thought that I might upload some random photos that were on my phone cause I’m a bit bored right now.

Haha, I decided to change my login picture to Domo Kun after seeing a Domo shirt on ThinkGeek 🙂

And yes, that is a photo of my editing a photo in Photoshop of my microwave.. what can I say? I was bored at the time. Microwave photo was not taken my my phone though…

Look look!!!

Some of you might know that I have a crappy Internet connection that likes to drop out BUT…

I got all the way to 1 WHOLE GB without a single dropout 🙂 That’s by far the best records it’s ever done, it usually only manages about 200MB before it drops out and resets the counters…

Just thought that you guys all needed to know 🙂
