Recent outage

Well my most non-attentive non-readers, the server outage which occurred over the past 2 days which nobody probably noticed was due to our main server being completely hosed. There was an electrical problem that knocked out the memory slots on the main machine that controlled the cpgeek.org network. I have since moved the hard drives that were in the machine (which oddly enough were unaffected) to my primary workstation where I proceeded to install vmware and create a new virtual machine that booted the hard disks from the crashed server, and thus, it is back online in a virtual state temporarily until I can get some new replacement hardware. Any donations would be helpful. Thank you all (all 2 of you) for your support!

long time is LOOOOOOOOOOOONG…

Hello readers! (or lack thereof due to my incredibly inconsistant posting of randomness that i suppose most people wouldn’t, and perhaps in many cases shouldn’t care about)

I apologize for updating so infrequently, but it seems that most of my blogging, random news, etc. has more or less moved to Facebook to be observed by my reasonably tight-knit (comparably to the internet anyhow).

so, what’s going on with me? (read on!)

Win an iPhone 3G S!

the awesome guys over at QuickPwn.com (who supply us with the quickpwn jailbreaking application so we can run non-appstore apps on our ipod touches and iphones) are giving away an iPhone 3G S that was just announced at WWDC.

WWDC 09!

Today is the first day of Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference (WWDC), when Apple announces (and in some cases releases) new products, services, hardware, and software.

(this post will update as the day goes on – click read more for more info.)

My personal expectations for this year:

release of a late beta or release candidate (or perhaps full release) of Mac OS X 10.6: Snow Leopard with distribution sometime in the next few months.

Announcement of new iPhones for release in coming months

iPhone OS 3.0 available for distribution later in the day or within the next couple weeks.

Some kind of new desktop mac announcement (probably upgraded Mac Pros)

Possibly lower at&t pricing structure for iPhone.

VMware

I just finished migrating this site to a LAMP server within vmware server on my primary server box to aid in possible upward hardware migration without any downtime.

not sure when i get get some new hardware for it, but it should be easy to change when i do… shouldn’t be any more than a few minutes downtime.

and yes, I know that I don’t post here nearly enough and that it’s sad, but I swear that I’m attempting to improve.
