Virtually Private

Submitted by mbu on Tue, 09/29/2009 - 11:19am

So this week, I'll be testing out the site on a virtual server.  Should be interesting.  For the price, if I like it I'll keep it, especially since it offers easy customizable bursting in case I or one of my other sites gets hammered.  It will also hopefully solve some of the numerous issues on whatever shared server they put my site on.  These include 500 errors, timeouts, PHP errors, speed issues, and various other fun things I've gotten thus far.  So, Dreamhost, I implore you to impress me, or it may be time to go host shopping again.

Then again, maybe Drupal is best for it's on server down in the basement?

Faulty 3GS GPS modules floating around?

Submitted by mbu on Mon, 09/14/2009 - 5:05pm

I'm starting to think there are some faulty GPS running around in these new iPhone 3GS models.  I have maybe gotten 3 or 4 successful tracking connections since getting the phone back on June 19th, which is unacceptable given how much I use GPS.  I would usually lend this to my normal paranoia, but I've found too many posts via Google confirming my suspicions.

I have tried numerous of fixes, urban myths, and voodoo, none that have worked to my satisfaction.  So today, back to the Apple store it goes. Hopefully the "genius" bar will not make me angry, as I've found that I tend to know way about stuff then they ever do.  In either case this should be interesting.

And yeah, that's Beijing in that search, as I was trying to prove to somewhere where it was on the map, which is sad, as they've actually BEEN there.

Ah, finally time to blog.  I have been incredibly busy the past few weeks, not much time to focus on this site.  I'm not complaining, as being this busy is great, I just really need to catch up on articles I'm supposed to be putting up here, and working on my creative elements section of the site.  Especially since I need to let people know all the things offered by mbu Creations.

Hopefully soon, I will take a break and focus on creativity for ME.
