Bloggin’ Stuff
Sup.
So, things have been pretty busy around here, which generally means no blogging or site updates. While that won't change in the future, it is worth dropping a few things of note:
- SliceHost.com is totally completely 100% awesome. I have been with them for a while now and have had no downtime, no problems with CPU and Memory hogging from other VHosts (because there aren't any!) and the price is extremely reasonable for the service that you get. I am running apache2, git, svn, irc, ftp, mail, mysql, and ssh servers without any problems whatsoever. Additionally, for LatestChatty.app that I have majorly contributed to I run an API server that takes considerable CPU which continues to chug along on every request I make of it. It's pretty awesome.
- iPhone Development is pretty sweet. While I've been working on a lot of things for work, I still have found a little time to work on LatestChatty.app, which I'll write a blog post on eventually. It was on the Staff Favorites section of the appstore! I'm pretty proud of the work I've done in making the application stable. I can use it on the train without any significant problems... however the app has some issues with lots of data in UIWebViews which will be rectified shortly through various means.
- I am extremely busy. I have a commute that is 90 minutes each way, which means I spend 15 hrs/wk actually on a train or in a car. It pretty much sucks, but I have to do it while I save up some more money and also find a roommate in NYC/North Jersey to move in with. I'd prefer NYC but I already have an option in NJ so I might have to exercise that. Fucking NJ.
- I started playing World of Warcraft again. This time, I'm actually kind of into it, as opposed to the last few times I signed up at the relentless requests from friends of mine to play. I'm a level 26 warrior -- here I am in the WoW Armory.
Despite not really having that much time, I am going to do my best to write some posts into this blog. I have a few ideas of things that I could post, and I actually have a written post to clean up to publish, but that will be for another day. I have to figure out how to do proper rotation in this iPhone application first!
