Day: March 27, 2010

At my local Linux users group meeting, someone brought up the Nerdcore HipHop music.

So if you are a nerd or a geek, then check out this Hip-Hop rhyme, called Kill Dash Nine.

I like the chorus:

KILL DASH NINE, No more CPU time. I run KILL DASH NINE, And your process is mine. I run KILL DASH NINE, ‘Cause it’s MY time to shine So don’t step outta line or else it’s

KILL DASH NINE!

Who says geek can’t be hip?

Today we have a trio of various artists. The first artist is Kathleen York (aka Bird York) with her song In The Deep from the album Wicked Little High. Many people might recognize this song from the movie Crash. Then we have the video of Sting’s song Desert Rose. We close out today with a live performance of Sarah Brightman performing her cover of the Hooverphonic song Eden. This performance is from the 1998 Goldene Europa Award ceremony.

Due to expenses and performance issues, not to mention the massive outage and data loss that occurred in May of 2009, I have decided to move on to a new hosting solution for arfore.com and the other sites I host.

After doing some research into what others are using as well as the cost involved, I decided to migrate to AN Hosting.

AN Hosting got started as a two-person operation in 2001.  In 2005 they were bought up by Chicago, Illinois-based midPhase Hosting.  Their hosting plan was pretty reasonable.  It compares nicely with the cost of my MediaTemple (gs) account.  One of the great things about it was the cost.  Since AN Hosting plans are paid for in advance (either 12 or 24 month plans) you get the same services for less than half the cost of the MediaTemple account.

The control panel that AN Hosting uses doesn’t have quite the same visual polish that the MediaTemple Control Center has.  They both use CPanel, but the interface with MediaTemple is much slicker in comparison.  The only real gripe I have so far with the AN Hosting Cpanel is that I can no longer directly control all aspects of the DNS Zone files the way I could before.  You still have the ability to create MX records, but the other aspects of DNS are handled by the sysadmins.  This is a fairly small issue.

As I get further into the hosting I will write a fuller comparison of the systems and any potential shortcomings that I see.

Due to a problem with the grid-cluster at MediaTemple, the site was down for well over a day.  They still don’t have everything up and running 100% yet, so their are at least two posts that are missing images.

Hopefully they will get everything finished today.  According to the latest update on the status entry for Incident 754, they have approximately 155 sites to restore out of the almost 2500 that were hosted on gs cluster 2.  Fortunately this didn not affect the database cluster, so none of my actually posts, pages or comments were lost.

The affected content at the moment is:
