Testing ScribeFire

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

Some server issues

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

Just upgraded to WordPress 3.0

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.

Rackspace 1024 MB cloud

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

Finally I shifted some things to S3

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.

Server down, didn’t notice

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.

Moved to Rackspace Cloud

KahWee — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 03:02:08 +0000

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.

6,081 visits last month, thanks!

Search engines sent 67.95% of the visitors. Asides search engines, most of the visitors come from Twitter, Ping.sg, Facebook and Stackoverflow.

Firefox is a favorite browser with 60%. Chrome visits constitutes 5% which I am responsible for at least half of Chrome visits I presume.

The top searches are XAMPP, jQuery, Django and PostgreSQL related. I code using CakePHP but no one reads my CakePHP stuff. My top tags are NetBeans, XAMPP and Sex, the combination upsets me.

Top countries visiting are US, UK, Singapore, India and Canada. I had a visitor from Zimbabwe, I didn’t know they can afford computers. Zimbabwe, a victim of hyper inflation, announced last February the removal of 12 zeroes from the currency, i.e. 1,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwe dollars being exchanged for 1 new dollar.

Alright, before I go offtrack, kthxbai.

Scene in Suicide Club (Japan) with mass suicide

KahWee — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 02:13:37 +0000

This is a Japanese horror film so be warned. Film is gory.

Suicide Club, known in Japan as Suicide Circle (自殺サークル ,Jisatsu Sākuru?) is a 2002 Japanese independent film and part of a trilogy that gained a considerable amount of notoriety in film festivals around the world for its controversial subject matter and gory presentation, and has since developed a significant cult following. It won the Jury Prize for “Most Ground-Breaking Film” at the Fantasia Film Festival. The movie was written and directed by Sion Sono. It deals with a wave of seemingly unconnected suicides that strikes Japan and the efforts of the police to determine the reasons behind the strange behavior. (Source: Wikipedia)

Suicide Club

Sometimes I wish I have a WTF category. (Oh, I actually do.)

Yay! I got kw.sg

And know I have to think what am I going to do with it. They are initials for my name Kah Wee. Currently it redirects to this blog.

I probably make it into a tinyurl-like service or something. This is a rather unnecessary expense actually. I kinda regret spending 60 on something I probably won’t put any thing useful on. But oh well what’s done is done.
