Finally - A Dedicated Server

It’s been a long time coming, and I knew I couldn’t hold out for forever, but I finally broke down and got myself a decent dedicated server. I’ve done shared VPS and I’ve even done some good ol’ fashion home server management for the past year, but I came across a dedicated server deal I couldn’t resist and took the plunge. Look for (hopefully) better performance and page rendering out of my blog now that I’ve increased caching capabilities and minimized server overhead. Here’s some figures to compare my previous server (Mac Mini on my home network) to the new server (dedicated HiVelocity Server).

It’s been since before our Christmas (on Christmas Eve) that I last blogged, guess I should do an update.
We had our family Christmas on the morning of Christmas Eve (since we’d be with family Christmas day in Utah). Anyway, here are some pictures of our Christmas tree & presents:
7 hours 25 minutes early!

Woot for FedEx overnight! I now hold in my hands a copy of OS X Leopard and it is starting to install in a matter of minutes. Apple’s website still lists another 7 hours and 25 minutes to launch from the time it arrived! WOOT.
Here’s to you, iPhone Hackers

This video says it all. As I watched the list of applications come by with the theme music from one of Apple’s most well-known commercials I can’t help but wish that they would look back to their roots and open up the platform for those of us who always want to do more, just because we can.
I’ve installed Linux on my Xbox, PS3, tons of computers, and other pointless devices. I’ve installed Hackintosh (Mac OSX86) on my PCs just because I could. So of course, I am one of those who hacked my iPhone. What is my favorite application? Money. Yes, a simple program to track my receipts on the go so I don’t have to carry them in my wallet any more. Is that such a crime Apple? Is it really?
So again to all those who led the way in the iPhone hacking frontier I offer my thanks. Here’s to you, iPhone Hackers.
