  • bangsar.net now on Amazon

    Due to the inability of the Synology 411j NAS to host this wordpress site, we’ve finally moved to Amazon’s EC2 service. This is Amazon’s cloud service with its micro instance starting at USD15 a month if you run it 24/7. Yes, USD15 is a little pricey for just a private wordpress blog, but Amazon…

  • blog updates

    whee updates~! upgraded wordpress to 2.3.1, upgraded wpg2 to 3.0.2, upgraded K2 to RC3. changed from a 2-column layout to 3-column layout cuz there was just too much info for a single column. the rightmost column (i tweaked K2’s CSS a bit cuz I didn’t like the extra column being on the left) will…

  • macam-macam ada…

    Server was constantly hanging this morning, right after I restarted my torrents after clearing some space on the drives. Further checks revealed that it hangs during an fsck check on one of the 250GB drives, so I might actually have some bad sectors on it. Sigh, guess I’ll have to get another drive and…

  • refresh problem fixed

    yay, blog is now a-ok. did an upgrade of suphp to version 0.6.2 and the php executable doesn’t hang anymore. was also looking at installing fastcgi for the heck of it, but that didn’t work out. too complicated for such a simple problem. in any case, what helped me was this firefox addon called…

    i’ve dumped my 3-columned 3K2Redux theme for a standard K2 one. reason being K2 being more of an active development project compared to 3K2 which is just a static package. that, and i was also trying to fix the visual editor on my wordpress installation by totally reinstalling in a new directory. which didn’t…
