Openvz on an Atom

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

I must say, the most recent attempts to run a couple openvz instances have met success. I use an Atom proc quite a bit and never expected a decent server replacement.

Well, I must admit that the disk IO basically sucks. The system says 3000 bogomips and it performs like one when creating a ton of small files.

Photosynth

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Photosynth: or; how to use up your 80 core desktop computer.

I must admit, I’m left wondering at times what we’ll think of next to do with over 80 cores. This is one of them.

There is no chance that the math involved is easy, and can be done on a 486.

More Joost invites as always

Don’t have Joost yet? I’ve still got a ton of Joost invites. Leave a comment for an invite!

Talk about no forethought with CCP

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

I like EVE. I play many MMORPGS, and the space aspect has always been one of my favorites. I loved Homeworld, still upset they won’t be making another one, let alone a MMORPG version.

EVE, with all the CCP rumors and crap flying around has hit me with another line of junk.

Back in March, I got an email stating that I could 7 free days to reactivate my account with no payment required. I put it off, since I had looked VERY CLOSE at the email, there was no expiration. There has been recent news on Slashdot concerning CCP, so I had some feelings coming to the surface for a good game of EVE, so I decided to take them up on the offer.

Guess what?
Your account is not eligible for re-activation offer at this time.

  • Your account may not be suspended.
  • The re-activation offer may be expired.
  • Your account may already have taken advantage of this offer

I’ve sent an email to support, let’s see what they do about this. I’ve got copies of the email in question. If they deny my reactivation, I’ll post the email, including evidence I simply cannot have forged.

Update 5/28/07:
Still no word from CCP Customer Service. So we have strike #1. They don’t answer email within 48 hours, even for a customer.

Update 5/29/07:
After the Memorial Day weekend, I guess they verified my email offer, and I now have the 7 day trial. On another note, CCP has appropriately answered the new allegations. I’m satisfied with their answer, that’s for sure.

More joost invites available.

Ok, leave a comment and I’ll send, or if you are really paranoid, then send me an email to phreaki@gmail.com

I’m personally not afraid of the big bad spam wolf :)

Joost invites available

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

Since joost is now out, I can invite unlimited people to the what seems to be, closed beta. Leave a comment, and I’ll get around to it very soon!

There is no limit to the number of people I can invite, so just leave a comment.

Joost tokens for free to my readers!

Friday, April 27th, 2007

The next 4 readers that leave me a comment with their email address will get a joost invite!

This makes the second time my readers and friends have gotten an invite to Joost, and I hope to keep doing it. One friend has yet to let me know if he has gotten an invite yet, so I’m reserving the last one for him. If he does have an invite already, I’ll pick a person randomly from the remaining comments to get the invite.

Editing your wordpress template

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

If you are getting a lot of ‘Supplemental Results’ from google, it’s important that your title and the text that are displayed in the top text of your main index template are changed to display the names of posts that change.

The simple code to help change that is: the_title(); and you can add that to your title and right under your blog name in the main index template.
