New VPS

I got a new VPS today.  $7/month for 2gigs of ram instead of $15/month for 300megs.  In the first hour I got a phone call from them asking why I loaded up the following.  

Apache
MySQL
PHP5
Oracle Access Manager
Fing
OpenVPN
Java
EyeOS

I told them I’m making a minecraft server and they said ok, carry on.

So do any of my friends in China need a free VPN? 

Why I love VyStar

I walk in to deposit my check and the cop stands up and “says sir you need to remove your ball cap.” Without thinking I barked back “bitch I change banks”. The guy at customer service stood up and pointed at me and said “he’s cool”

Yay vystar. The guy at customer service is my normal teller.  It’s always nice to see a polite teller moving up the ranks, soon he’s gonna be a loan advisor.

So for no reason other than being awesome my boss gave me a bonus.  This weekend I will be picking up a server or two for the rack.  I’m still up in the air about a scsi server cause I really wanna have a decent amount of space.  I’m currently re-downloading solaris 11/11.  It would be nice if I could find a backplane for the scsi one cause it has 6 bays on the front. Meh.

Feb. 27, 2012. Namie, Japan. Police from Futaba District Police Station, which is inside the exclusion zone, search for the dead and still-missing along the ocean front near the power plant, the stacks of which can be seen in the far distance.

James Nachtwey, who photographed Japan for TIME in the wake of last year’s earthquake, tsunami and triple nuclear meltdown, returns to observe the anniversary of the tragedy. See more here.
