consolidate my host part 2

By Knight | Fri 25th-Jul-2008

I talk about consolidate my host during june , the only thing i done so far is cancel my media temple account and getting a small account on webfaction as my backup.

Two day ago my was down due to mysql insufficient memory , i believe it happen because mysql is bacup and rsync to my webfaction account, but this remind me of consolidate my this idea again.

My current idea is move all the site to my webfaction account cancel my knownhost account and getting a linode . So that i can use the linode to do backup and playing with the setting.There are few reason to make me plan like this.

Save $$ - currently i m paying USD$31.50 for the , if i get a linode is about $USD20, cutting some cost.But the amont differenence is for the control panel and server admin support, i will talk about control panel on next point, but the support is really good at knownhost, which really making this a tough decision.

Control Panel - i using directadmin on , which is a lightweight control panel, but it seem like the feature is quite limited, example for addon domain ( pointing different domain to a same path ) or wild card dns ( whatever subdomain you type, will be all redirect to same domain) need a lot of hard code to be done and the control panel realy redundant.In the other side webfaction custom panel seem like able to solve all these problem in a easy way.

barebone - i been thinking to get a bareabone from either linode or slicehost, these are developer friendly, i can just reinstall any linux distro in the control panel and learn to configure it to suit my need

resource - base on the way i m using, i believe i might reach limit of my current soon and i think i might need to spend more $$ on it to get a more resouce package.

consolidate script - currently mainly on my is drupal and , if i using webfaction control panel , i might be able to consolidate everything, so that i have 1 drupal instance and 1 instance, it will be easier for me to maintain and upgrade.

Added feed subscription button

By Knight | Wed 23rd-Jul-2008

Getting some feedback about my blog today, mostly it’s my related, if you did subscribe my , i have remove those anoying related post which take up the space even more the post content. I m thinking to have just title of related post but currently the simple tag plugin not allow you to have 2 setting for related post, once you set it , it work the same on the blog and the . So i have to remove it first and maybe try to bug it on simple tag discussion group ?

another thing is added my counter, it act for 2 purpose , telling number of people ( or bots ) that subscribe to this blog and allow reader to click on it for getting the address of this blog, i never think of this because for my self , i been using firefox , there will be a icon show on the location bar ( the awesome bar ! ) when you click on it , it will auto go to the address and the rest just leave it to will do. But someone told me not everyone do like this, example for herself will look for the icon on the blog to click on it , hmm ….. maybe i need to get a big icon to put beside the counter ?

anyway i like hongkiat’s design the subsribe button is getting the reader attention , too bad there is no widget that do that .. haha , i m getting lazier for these design thing.

Can’t login after upgrade your wordpress ?

By Knight | Tue 22nd-Jul-2008

Not for me, so far after upgrade to 2.6 , everything is smooth here. But i did saw some people mention on twitter or blog about can’t login problem after upgrade and i saw a solution today.

Base on the solution it seem like basically is because of mislocation of issue ? i wonder why is it not affecting everyone but some of the people ? anyway is rocks but at the same time it seem like getting huge and toward CMS direction ?

This make me think of visit habari.

By Knight | Mon 21st-Jul-2008

During my google reader cleaning process, one of the service pop in my eyes and capture my attention, ya i m interested on the service that’s why i subscribe the corporate blog of it, but it seem like there are no news for a period already , it raise a question to me , is the service still alive ? it is still under development ?

The service or rather say the product is call Scrybe , i can still recall when the time it announce , it’s like so impress and there is even a product video on youtube which capturing a lot of attention, after a while other product keep poping out , but not this one , it some time still announce some exciting news like offline access or the thoughtpad, but it seem to me every exciting feature after some time , become a common feature that every where you can see , hmmmm ….
