Dreamhost Rocks.

Posted by Grey September 18, 2005December 9, 2007Technology

[ music | Queen – We Will Rock You ] I was hosting some files for a friend in a semi-hidden directory. Well, the URL got leaked, and I got slammed for 300GB of transfer in less than a day. This means I’m looking at about $260+ for bandwidth overages. This is not a good […]

Dreamhost Discounts

Posted by Grey August 29, 2005December 9, 2007Technology

[ music | Monty Python – Accountancy Shanty ] Well, New Orleans was spared 20 feet of standing water in the downtown area – this time. They really need to get some better preparations, and hopefully this close call will spur some movement on that front. There was a bar on Bourbon street open quite […]

eHarmony.com not so harmonious…

Posted by Grey June 24, 2005December 9, 2007Technology

In my never ending quest for misery and self-torture, I went over to eHarmony.com after seeing one of their ads on TV for the fifteen-billionth time. I went through their 29 dimentions of compatibility matching profiler, and it came back with “Unable to Match You at This Time”. Yep, their extensive psychological profiling was unable […]

Fuskered again…

Posted by Grey May 5, 2005December 9, 2007Technology

Another six gigabytes up in smoke again yesterday. Recently Slashdot ran a story that perfectly phrased a thought I’ve had for years. The Social Contract. I don’t block most ads because I feel viewing a few ads and occasionally clicking an interesting one is the least I can do in exchange for free content. I […]

Adventures in Hard Disk Geometry Translation

Posted by Grey February 14, 2005December 9, 2007Technology

Wow. Ok, while my DSL was out, I decided to play with Knoppix. Well, the short of it all is I completely hosed my partition table, and nearly lost all my data. That sucked. I asked for help as I was getting errors from Partition Magic and PARTINFO that I couldn’t decipher. I found a […]

Informal Review: Zinio Reader

Posted by Grey November 3, 2004December 9, 2007Technology

I was lucky enough to get in on a free 1 year subscription to PC Magazine a couple months ago. I stopped buying it years ago because it was becoming so Internet-centric and home-user oriented that it lost the power-user edge it had when PCs weren’t as popular in the pre-$20-ISP age. I still read […]

Scavenged Dreamcast and PS1

Posted by Grey September 10, 2004December 9, 2007Technology

Well, my neighbor threw out a Dreamcast and an original model PlayStation. I grabbed the PS1 for no particular reason, but the DC can run Linux, so I was excited to see it. But, no accompanying cordage came with it, so I’m on the look out for free/cheap AV cables and controllers. If anyone has […]

Google lowers IPO share price expectations.

Posted by Grey August 18, 2004December 9, 2007Technology

For the hell of it, I got a Google IPO Auction Bidder ID. Not that I had the money to buy any, just for kicks. This morning, some interesting info came through the pipe. Please be advised that the prospectus for the offering of Google’s Class A common stock will be amended to change the […]
