I seldom like new UI of product I use, the extreme example is I HATE the new gmail UI whenever it was launched more than a year ago – it took me quite some time to figure out where is addressbook and where I can manage my domain.
However, Yahoo Mail’s new UI is definitely better than previous version, light, clean, and most things are still there – either it did not change, or it can be easily located.
Well done, Yahoo.
After last time fire sale I have 3 micro instances running on EC2, one in east coast and two in west. I got a mail the other day, saying my free tier is expiring so I need to make decision if I need to keep it running or not.
It did take me quite some time to figure our which one is free tier, which one is the reserved instance and which one is the left – I have to blame myself as it’s me who made the configuration this messy. Anyway, it seems my major site is running on the free tier (w1), and my reseved instance is actually idle (w2), and the secondary site is on a pay-as-you-go instance (w3).
Anyway, since the free tire will be expired by the end of this month and the reserved instance will be expired in mid January, I decided doing nothing by now. Once the reserved (idle) instace on east cost expired, I will shut it down.
I will keep pay-as-you-go as I got feeling that I may switch to other service providers later on, at least I should try out those Amazon competiters.
