I failed to upgrade a friend’s Fedora 15 last year so I left it running there untouched, however, Fedora announced EOL of 15, which means I have to risk leaving it up and running without any further patches, or I have to do an on site upgrade.
Personally I prefer an on site upgrade to make sure everything is up-to-date, but my friend may not like this as the rental (i.e. hosting) will be ended in less a year.
Anyway, waiting for reply now.
There are always friends willing to help whenever I’m in troubles :).
Problem I have? Yea, quite some. However, the most important thing is that I spent too much time on the new team and lost control on current team, this is not good, but thanks Zane (he got this really weird name), who give me pretty good suggestion and I now can fix things before they are totally broken.
Meet a friend in a bar after a storm, talked a lot, happy hour.
I believe it’s about time to change myself a little bit – it’s all about job/career, etc, but it may affect life as well.
I don’t think this Microsoft deal has any impact on my feeling, and I don’t think current project involved even a little. The Microsoft deal is great, I’m not saying it will bring any solid benefit to my company, but at least it leaves some room for my company to take a pause, re-think the whole strategy, and move on. My current project is kind of interesting – cloud computing is something hot, and data intensive cloud is not being well defined in current cloud/grid world.
I feel like it’s about time to change just because … it seems less people care about me now :D. I like talking to friends, but slowly friends stopped pinging me for whatever reason, it could be because my life is so boring and nothing could interest them. I’m not getting new friends either, which is because I don’t have relationship with any groups around.
So, it’s about time to change, at least I can make people start talking to/about me again. ๐
One of my friends asked me if this service is doable:
I have to say, this is a pretty common requirements for online services (shopping, search, gaming,… could be anything), and if I can make it and make the solution linear, then it will be pretty much interesting (let’s say, 40 machines supporting 10M actions per hour, a lot already).
I will do some research (the nosql stuffs could well fit into this one), and post thinking/design here.
All those who helped me moving from China to US are all leaving, actually I hesitated to say “all” as I know there is one who will never leave :).
Let’s skip those non-techy people, then here where they went: one goes to eBay, running its biggest offshore R&D center (at least one of the biggest, I’m not quite sure), another one goes to Microsoft (yea, lots of Yahoos went to Microsoft) running their data center division, and this one is said to go to China, though I don’t have any details yet.
I now can say, I stay here longer than them, so ideally I can move on now – I short of one excuse to stay here.
I agree social network is sort of virus, you were brought into the game just because one of your friends is there, and then later on you will find all of your friends are there.
This is what I found today – I registered my account a year back I guess (by the time I know kaixin001.com, and people mentioned it is just another facebook), and at that time there was not many friends playing there. When I checked again this morning, it seems 50% of my friends who regularly accesses internet has an account there.
Now the question is – how many of them use it daily or even weekly? This is so-called active user, but it seems to me pretty low, maybe 1/10. Well someone would say 10% is really a good number, but I believe social network should have higher active rate.
I don’t know how long I can play with this one, facebook is way too fun compare with linkedin, I get rid of kaixin001.com as I found it is just a social network, means other than play some games, I got nothing else, actually it was even not the good place to keep contact with friends, let’s see how facebook works,
Forgot to mention that I’ve setup timely DB backup on godaddy, now I need to figure out how to take secondary backup on a remote host, maybe on my home Ubuntu box.
Tried to asked a friend to see if everything got backup there but got no response, I think I’m a little bit bothering now, better keep silient :(.
