What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Trying to fend off thoughts about trolling cloudatcost :trollface:
Must resist! It isn't going to help anyone but neither are they, so it would seem
Oh noes! resistance is starting to crumble! -
Application being forwarded for rental choice #1.
-
Just got back from the dentist
. Now to catch up so many things to do before I leave for London!! Can't wait! -
We have houseguests coming for the rest of the time that we live in Andalucia! Our one friend arrives tonight and stays for a few days. After that we have friends from Texas coming until June!
-
Just emailed off the financial stuff to the agent for our rental choice.
I would be getting excited except I broke the temporary crown I have on Friday and my mouth hurts too much if I try and drink coffee..
Jared needs his coffee......
-
Dealing with crying children because they were careless with toys and some parts got thrown out with the trash.
-

As long as you were not on CloudatCost, should not be too bad.
-
IF you were on them, you've got a few days before you have any VMs again. So you've got time to relax.
-
@scottalanmiller Nope, all clear from them. I'd love to get one of their servers as well, I just refuse to pay for it. I'm sure they'll be some given away again soon

We gave back all of our free ones too. Even at free, they weren't worth using.
-
@scottalanmiller aww come on, think of how happy you could have made this Canuck with that
-
@scottalanmiller did you get a refund for the paid ones? I have around $1000 dumped in with personal and business VMs purchased.

I'm told that we are getting a refund. Haven't seen it yet but would not expect to.

You'd have been sorry, trust me.

Maybe ML as a community should build out a lab-class cloud service. Something that is not as reliable as RS, EC2, etc. but cost a fraction as much. We have way more technical capabilities here than some providers and we can see that a lot of us like the idea of the service, just need something more useful and reliable.
For the amount of money that this community put in alone, we could build out a more reliable service!

Checking out a VPS Provider web site that I just stumbled across... http://lowendbox.com/ ... They have a lot of providers and such. I haven't picked one out yet, but the prices are extremely reasonable and the reps for the sites represented appear to be quite active on the site.

I hate to link to people's despair but... another "I used a SAN and now lost everything" post... http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/932940-lost-servers-to-san-data-corruption-need-help-with-restoration-process
Lots of servers depending on one, low end system with nothing to protect it.
-
@scottalanmiller oh fk man, I feel bad for that guy. DFS is extremely shitty to use and support. We got it all out of our network shortly after I started here and my boss wanted to light the server on fire to make sure it's evil never escaped into the world.
-
DFS on top of a single EQL SAN. Talk about a disaster. Layers of "redundancy" all sitting on a single, low end SAN. Of course the SAN died taking every VM, all the DFS redundancy, everything with it. How could they not have seen that coming?
