The never-ending winter is finally giving way to spring! Finally!
I have even heard that people have been climbing outside here in Uppsala. Too bad my half-year long finger injury has escalated into pain in two more joints and a worrying pulley pain. But I spent the brilliant weekend weather working in the garden instead of at a sunny crag or the climbing gym. Hopefully the rest will make things better.
Jag sedan i mitten på 2007 haft en så kallad VPS, Virtuell Privat Server, hos GleSYS. På vilken bland annat den här bloggen, ny.heter.se, flygtillsolen.se och lite andra sajter körts.
Man kan tycka att en VPS redan är en så kallad molntjänst, då det är en virtualiserad server som tillsammans med andra virtualiserade maskiner delar på en fysisk maskin. I så fall har jag redan varit i molnet ett tag. Oavsett detta så har GleSYS nu lanserat en ny Cloud/Moln/VPS-tjänst som är deras tredje generations VPS-tjänst, med vilken man får mer kontroll över sin server. Det är möjligt att enkelt skala upp och ner sina servrar vid behov. Det går att klona sin server till en ny server, öka på och minska antalet cpu:er, minne, disk, transfer etc.
Igår tog jag steget och konverterade min Guld-VPS till deras nya tjänst och passade samtidigt på att minska ner mängden nätverkstrafik per månad och kunde då dubblera mängden tillgängligt minne och ändå tjäna några kronor per månad jämfört med tidigare. Snacka om prestandaskillnad. Det är helt otroligt vad mycket snabbare min server blev nu!
Jag är otroligt nöjd med GleSYS som VPS leverantör. Allt fungerar för det mesta perfekt och om något mot förmodan strular så är deras support helt outstanding! Oavsett om du är en nybörjare på VPSer och vill prova att ha din första egna server eller om du är en gammal räv som har full koll så rekommenderar jag GleSYS varmt.
(English summary: Use GleSYS for your hosting, they are great!)
“I’ve decided to follow someone at random,” O’Brien’s posting read at 3:55 p.m. on Friday. “She likes peanut butter and gummy dinosaurs. Sarah Killen, your life is about to change.”

Crazy how an anonymous nobody can become a “Web celeb” just by being followed by a real celebrity.
Unrelated to this the bio on Conan O’Brien’s twitter account reads:
I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account.
Which I find rather funny.
“With Ubisoft’s fantastically awful new DRM you must be online and logged in to their servers to play the games you buy. Not only was this DRM broken the very first day it was released, but now their authentication servers have failed so absolutely that no-one who legally bought their games can play them”

When do they learn that they should focus on making great games that people are willing to pay for instead of crappy games with horrible DRM implementations?
Yesterday when I woke up the sun was shining from a blue sky so I decided to postpone the planned trip to the climbing gym and instead take a long walk with my Nikon D40 and Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 lens.
I’ve had the Sigma lens since midsummer last year and even though I’ve used it quite a bit I still find the framing to be difficult with such a wide angle lens. I guess it just takes a while to get used to, or maybe you need to be a better photographer to use it right, I don’t know.
Anyway, I got some decent photos and a lovely walk in the spring warm sun. The Sigma lens seems to give some artefacts when shooting straight into the sun. I guess I shouldn’t be doing that but it’s hard not to when I haven’t seen the sun for months!

The photo I’m the most happy with I didn’t take with the Nikon though but with the Canon S90 using the macro mode. I think this will be my new desktop wallpaper after the Uppsala by night photo I’ve used for a while.

Unfortunately it looks like we have to wait a bit longer for the good stuff here in Sweden.
Makes me almost want a dog, but the 7am morning walks in the winter snowstorms are such a bummer.
