Moving of server seems to go quite well. There were some outages for users during night because of too big TTL in DNS, but after setting up redirector at old IP during morning, this should not be a problem. Now only few hosted sites were still unable to change their DNS settings, but it's not my problem :-).
On the other hand, it looks that moving server to new server room will have some positive effect on it's health:
This night, long delayed operation has been done and server which gives you this page has been moved to another server room. It should bring a bit better conditions for server and you should not notice this except short outage in this night till all DNS caches on the way will will update their records. This is a theory and lets see what problems will appear tomorrow morning ;-).
Při psaní minulého zápisku o fungování pošty , jsem ani nedoufal, že by mi peníze mohly dorazit v dohledné době a počítal jsem spíš s dalšími pár měsíci. Ale při pohledu na transakce na účtě jsem s překvapením zjistil, že se neuvěřitelné stalo skutečností - po pouhém půl roce mi dorazily peníze za dobírku. Teď jsem jenom zvědavý až mi přijde výsledek reklamace a jestli se z něj dozvím jestli chyba byla na české nebo slovenské straně hranic :-).
Update: Tak oznámení o výsledku reklamačního řízení jsem našel dnes ve schránce - reklamace je odůvodněná, omlouváme se Vám. Zásilka byla dodána 10. 1. 2008. Dobírková částka byla opětovně zaslána 10. 6. 2008.
Why the hell do I have to hit various obscure pieces of code today? Current winner is part of system-config-printer:
def monitor_session (*args):
pass
try:
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
bus.add_signal_receiver (monitor_session)
except:
print >> sys.stderr, "%s: failed to connect to session D-Bus" % \
PROGRAM_NAME
sys.exit (1)
If you don't know D-Bus or Python: It listens to all signals on session bus and does nothing with them. All this code causes is eating up memory and CPU cycles when there is some higher load on session bus.
PS: Maybe I miss some nice idea behind this code, please enlighten me.
Okay, I will again miss DebConf. This time it is not because of time, but because of money. The flight to Buenos Aires is far too expensive to go there just for DebConf and I didn't manage to plan some more travelling around South America...
Hopefully it will get better next year, at least DebConf will be much closer :-).
PS: Just after deadline for confirmation and my decision for not going there, I got an email that my sponsorship for travel was approved. Unfortunately too late to change my decision.
Okay I did thing I considered already for several months - I decided to quit my current job at SYSGO, make one month holidays in summer and find some new job meanwhile. So I'm looking forward to free August, which I will probably spend travelling somewhere :-).
This brought up again question whether to go or not to go to this year DebConf. The only problem with this is distance - flight to Buenos Aires will be something around 2000 USD and it means lot of money for me. I applied for sponsorship for half of the price (well I'm not sure if I can really pay the other half, but I would feel really bad for asking that much money) and let's see how it turns out. On the other side, I'd love to visit Argentina, but that would probably require much more time and money. Let's see how it all turns out, there is still time to decision...
PS: If you have some interesting job offer, just contact me at michal@cihar.com.
After today short ride, I just wanted to look at how fast I was (well rather slow as my body is slowly getting used to usual travel distances). There was nothing surprising in most values, but maximal speed did really impress me:
I just hope that it is really mistake of the computer and I did not really go that fast at some point ;-).
...aneb to už jinde jsme, to je jiná vesnice.
Tak se občas při projížďkách v blízkém okolí Prahy nestačím divit co za skvostné stavby tu vyrůstá. Nevím, proč vila bez "barokního" zábradlí, několika věžiček nebo alespoň soch lvů není dneska in, ale asi s tím těžko něco nadělám. Nicméně už delší dobu mě překvapují dvě stavby jako vystřižené z úplně jiných končin světa. Majitelé pravděpodobně chtěli něco originálního a tak v katalogu ukázali na tuto stavbu. Jaká škoda, že zrovna ani ne o kilometr dál si někdo vybral téměř to samé...
Prosím omluvte mizernou kvalitu obrázků, je to foceno mobilem.
It sometimes funny to review web server stats to see what people are looking for in my blog. I usually expect something like my name and projects I participate on. But there are some surprises:
For most of them I'm in first page in Google results, even though I have no idea why are my posts ranked so high even for such generic things as "product names", but I don't care. What surprises me most is "pissing". I guess I know what are people looking for when they enter this word to Google ;-). But according to Google webmaster tools, I'm somewhere near 110th position. Why the hell does somebody look so deep in results? And why does he go to one line blog post? I really don't understand this. Maybe I should focus on this word and bring my post to first page of Google results ;-).
