Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

October 18th, 2007

Amazon released a new service a while ago, in which they give you “computing power”. It’s a paid service.
It’s called Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and you can click the name to get there.

Joined with the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and the Amazon SQS, it forms an interesting platform for hosting (web services). I like it that you pay what you use (what you want to use), and at some pretty high figures (for processing, storage and sqs) i got to 17 bucks per month, which is less then i currently pay for hosting.
If i modify the offer a little, i get to 1370 dollars per month so … eeeh.

Amazon EC2 is still in beta version, but i hope i’ll be using it soon if i get the chance.

Harry Potter Quiz

October 11th, 2007

I haven’t completed a quiz in a very long time so i said i’ll do this one with “which harry potter character are you ?” …

And it came out just right, the only character that i admire from Harry Potter …

Voldemort

Is it a coincidence ?

after me again

October 6th, 2007

I have spiders in my room again … there was a big one some time ago but i couldn’t kill it … and it breeded.
They’re small and many and roaming around the room …

First thing tomorrow will be to turn on the vacuum cleaner. I’m too arachnofobe for this.
I really don’t like spiders, and they hate me back.
