New Server
Hey all,
Today I finalized my migration of Aeturnalus to linode. The reasons behind the move are primarily technical, ranging from rather high downtimes to annoying and useless support and slow connection speeds. As Linode is a VPS, or a virtual private server, I get the opportunity to administrate the lower-level functions for myself, which is quite useful. The speed that comes with it is probably noticeable to you, as well. Most of the sites I host will be properly migrated soon, and are only limited by my time. Please comment if you find anything broken and/or not working properly.
Life.
As things go, this week could have been better. I had my tests (of which there were too many), I wrote our essays, and I did my homework. Unfortunately, at least for some of the tests, I didn’t do all that great… Hopefully I can make it back up later.
As regards to West Valley: Yesterday I went to WVC and went to my first Math 004A class… it was pretty fun, but today I’m going to take a look at Physics 004A as well. Learning some new things would be a nice change… rather than just stressing over history and whatnot.
Also, I’ll be switching servers soon, so some stuff will change.
Summertime
As the end of summer approaches, it makes me think about what I’ve done (or haven’t done) over this summer. I spent most of my time on my internship at Cypress… which has been an awesome experience. Unfortunately, as a result of actually being busy, I haven’t gotten much else done this summer. I am almost done with summer homework, and most likely will be by tomorrow, but the “Viking” day is just a few days off – and a week later, school. I don’t know if I’m prepared for it… not the studies, but having to adhere to a schedule that is not set by myself (even work is paid hourly… I go early to get more stuff done and get paid more, not because I absolutely have to).
Also, as a culmination of the summer, my sister is leaving from China on Monday and arriving at SFO on Monday, so we’re going to go and pick her up. Yesterday, I also managed to get my driver’s permit, which was quite easy, actually. It was kind of interesting – they accidentally gave me the 18+ driver’s license test, which I passed, then they made me take the normal permit test, which I passed too. My lesson is arranged for next Sunday… the day before school!
About 15 minutes ago I got my first debit card… Not sure what I’m going to do with it, as most of its features are also present in Paypal, and Paypal is more safe to use, as I don’t expose my bank account directly.
Sequential Date Day
So today’s date is kinda interesting. Notice how its August 9, 2010, or a rather significant sequence… If you didn’t get it yet its cause its
8-9-10
To compound that, this post is published at 11:12 AM, so the full date and time would be…
8-9-10 11:12AM
8, 9, 10, 11, 12 =)
Happy sequential date day!
