Consulting & DNS Issues [01 May 2008|08:07am] [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | //Saosin - "You're Not Alone"// ] Hey all, It's very possible that it slipped my mind to post in system about me removing scribbld2 from the server rotation as it had some bad hardware. In the near future I'll be replacing the hard. I've been monitoring the server logs and graphs over the last month or so and it shouldn't make that much of a difference, even during peak usage times. At least I am hoping so! There's one thing that apparently didn't get done and it was to remove BOTH scirbbld2 entries from the DNS records, so at times people would try to connect to it, and it would go very slowly if at all. I do apologize for that, this morning I've been able to surf the site and it's been much zippier now that the DNS entry has been removed. I do hope the same goes for you, feedback welcome! In other news, it snowed a little bit on the way to my consulting job the other day...not cool, too cold!! The job was really easy, mostly just going over some questions and some documentation. Then I had a few call backs, I did get paid yesterday which was great! Then I stopped at Small Dog, picked up an AppleTV 160GB for my consulting job in NH next week. Also stopped at my parents house and picked up the stuff Craig shipped up (another magazine for my assault rifle, an unjamming rod and the RIS slides). For some reason Apple sent me another APP certificate along with a pin, dunno why haha So I basically hacked apart the AppleTV in an effort to remove the airport card, thus completely disabling the WiFi in the unit. Very very simple to do, they're really easy to ope. You just have to make sure you CAREFULLY remove the rubber bottom, or you'll destroy it. But yeah, got that done, and let the guy know that it was definitely doable. Played some more GTAIV, it's a lot of fun, I love how real it's getting to be, I did a couple missions, and then I messed around and pissed off the cops :) Also played some Call of Duty 4, did pretty good, getting closer to level 44 haha I believe I've got the Desert Eagle unlocked, so I've got to upgrade my classes to use that instead. Read some more of my Zombie Surival book last night, getting into what weapons are good and which sucks, apparently SMGs, and assault rifles are no good, but bolt lever rifles are...and .22s suck haha So today, I'm helping Keith move 21 bags of mulch, will have to borrow emilie's truck to get the job done, but it'll be cool. Then I am going to pull apart the 160GB AppleTV I got yesterday (I pulled apart my own yesterday) and do it up, save time for onsite stuff. but that's about all I have to do today, I am getting my stuff from AirsoftGI from UPS< should be here shortly, another Classic Army MA15A4, some BBs, helmet, charger, batteries and a couple of other things...I am pissed it took so long, I ordered on the 22nd of April and it's just getting here now, although that's about a week, I wanted it sooner! Oh yeh, I finally got my PSP hacked! I just played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, which I haven't played since umm, maybe 1999 hahah or whenever it came out. I love that game so much, it brings back some crazy memories! I also got a bunch of other games on there, and they seem to work, except Driver, but I'll figure that out! Mad thanks to PSPCrazy and confining. Alright, over and out! Have a nice day everyone! post comment

Fixed, Locked & Loaded! [01 May 2008|05:08pm] [ mood | enthralled ] [ music | //Paint By Numbers - "Friends"// ] Well something in my gun got messed up and I actually figured it out and repaired it myself. I was really close to calling Craig at Federal Airsoft, but I figured I'd give it a go. Apparently a little cable came loose from the "gearbox" and all I had to was fix that and poof, it worked again! I was quite proud of myself considering I know nothing about how these work, but I definitely learned a lot. Anyways, by accident I had put in the correct address but the wrong zipcode on my AirsoftGI order so it went the wrong way...fortunately it was the Moretown zipcode so it wasn't very far away. The driver endedup leaving all my stuff at Small Dog, which was a bit funny, but it gave me the chance to say hello to the warehouse guys. Apparently Ryan quit and then Matt said hell no you're not, so Ryan stayed for another week, but after that he was done. No one has heard or seen him since, not even his parents which is a little sketcky...I might ask Troy for his number in Warren, cause it would be nice to know everything with him is okay. Today I helped Keith move 21 bags of mulch from Montpelier to where he lives in Williamstown. Very easy. It was nice to kick it with him. Tomorrow we're going to see Iron Man. That's going to be a lot of fun. I was kinda hoping that makkintosshu could go with us, but I've not heard from him since Sunday I think it was. I hope things are getting a bit better for him. emilie is bringing home pizza for dinner, that's going to be awesome. Tomorrow she's headed to RI to see her sick grandma and parents and all. She'll be back hopefully Sunday...Tomorrow I have consulting which is nice, hopefully it's short, and I'll have the afternoon to myself. I believe the DNS issues are resolved with the site, DNS propagates throughout the internet much faster then it used too. I think that's about it, I've got to do some mail backup compression either tonight or tomorrow afternoon, I am sure that RAID set it getting pretty full by now...I've gotta by another 500GB drive and setup another RAID set at some point... Alright, over and out! 1 comment|post comment
