What Are You Doing Right Now
-
BUT, the "view" traffic of the site is doing really well. We are actually having a better than average day for people reading the site, just light on the posting.

Hey, NodeBB 0.7.3 just dropped. We will have to see if we can get that set up tonight. I have to travel tomorrow night and am hanging in PC all weekend so would like to not be working on that this weekend.
-
For those wondering, we passed the half million monthly view mark this morning. So we are on track for a healthy month.

Out of curiosity, what was the reason for choosing rackspace and not something like digital ocean?

DO is new, and most behind ML (generally @ntg ) have had longstanding use of RackSpace

That pretty much sums it up. Been on RS for a very long time and for the most part they work really well.

I had seen some posts of you using them, I was just curious.

RS is far more robust. When we grow, RS has full infrastructure options like load balancers. DO does not have that stuff. DO is really for single servers, not hosted infrastructure.

Thought the morning was too quiet... turns out our spiceworks VM filled it's shorts and gave up on life.

Ha ha. There is a maxim in here somewhere.
A too quiet morning leads to a too busy afternoon.
-
Having crazy network issues here. Pretty much can post anything or read very much. I'm online, but only technically.
-
It is very windy here, maybe that has something to do with it.
-
I can post here most of the time. Posting on SW is gone completely. Their site is so fragile with so much code to load, it often fails first during network issues.
-
Hmmm... SAM can't post to Spiceworks?
Quick, everyone head over there and recommend SANs, FreeNAS and VMWare!
-
Too late, the network is back up.

Interesting..
Watching a few people spin around in chairs while in their boss's office about 800 miles away...Should I load a audio file to one of the local computers and play it? Make them jump,... <evil laugh>

Pffft, I'm going to post about how epic RAID5 is with giant arrays - bigger the better.

Or how HA on VMware is a requirement for our business (and we didn't do any cost analysis).

Heading home.
