A Brief Update

I would like to bring everyone up to speed with what has been going on in my life since I made my last post. It seems that a bullet list would apply best here.

• I am attending classes once again, hooray! It is taking a lot out of me to try and get back into the swing of college life.
• I have decided to switch providers for my dedicated hosting needs. It is in my humble opinion that GoDaddy lacks in it’s ability to operate a virtual dedicated server host. The systems were out of date frequently (even after I warned them), they at one point in time installed a kernel update that broke the fstat() implementation thus breaking my mail server. I have had to reprovision my server due to their mistakes in the past, and now they are finally forcing an update to Fedora Core 7 (a year after my request). The time has come for change. I will be over the course of the next few weeks switching to Linode.com, the services they offer are spectacular from first glance. I am a little bit nervous about the downtime I may incur (I have already had one and a half brief outages [one may have been due to my route]). They appear to be a great host though, and their customer support is fantastic. As an added bonus, now I can run Debian! Hooray for me! (and it is up to date too).
• I will be starting work (again) on the platform for my car computer soon. The name of the platform is CupHolder, once progress has been made I will post updates about this project at www.cupholder.org. However this may be quite some time with school and all.
• I am strongly considering whether I should take on writing a sequel to Earthbound (truly the greatest game in history IMHO).

Well, that’s all folks!

 

PS.

Since this blog ties into my MySpace page on a few levels, perhaps I should make WordPress dispatch a MySpace bulletin after I post a new blog entry? Just a thought…
