Found a Safari extension called ScribeFire and I’m testing it. If it really is good, it could be my preferred way of blogging.

My instance on Rackspace Cloud appears to be having some issues lately. The host machine of my instance went down.

I’m a little slow, I just upgraded to WordPress 3.0. The interface undergone slight tweaks and has emerged more polished. One of my crucial plugins don’t work though and I have to use a development version of the plugin. Probably not upgrade my other blogs.

Oh well, it’s time to upgrade again. I have given up. Hello 1024.

This blog has been “crashing” every other day. I finally decided to use Amazon S3 which is quite affordable. I’ll be monitoring it a while before I go gaga over it.

Haven’t been tending to my blog recently. The Apache server was having some trouble and I didn’t notice. Learnt my lesson and now offload more static content to nginx server leaving Apache for mainly PHP content. My load average still spikes once in a while, I’ll be monitoring it a little more closely this week.

A couple of days ago, I encountered a database corruption. One sentence: My access log grew so huge it took up 100% of the disk space; MySQL can no longer write the database files and a few tables got corrupted.

Okay I cheated on the one sentence.

Rackspace Cloud has similar build as Slicehost (my previous host). I moved a few of my blogs over. Currently Slicehost is like an expensive DNS server. That said, Rackspace Cloud is cheaper than Slicehost. Slicehost is a subsidiary of Rackspace. Well anyway, if you do like to use Rackspace and would like to make my day, use my referrer code ‘REF-KW’ without quotations. It gives me some rebate, I think.
