Much, much faster.

I've upgraded the virtual server by doubling the CPUs and quadrupling the RAM and the web server is running much faster now. It also helps that the new server is not being spammed by those ad hits. Things have been quiet for the past day or so, so I think it's ready for prime time.

I will look into retiring the old server in the next little while. Just want to make sure that there is nothing on there that I still need. I've turned off the web service so hopefully the logs will not blow up in my face again.

On Friday night I had booked Laz and Growly's birthday present: A night to Escape from the Mysterious Room . It looked like it may be a real live version of The Crimson Room , which sounded like fun! In addition to the two birthday boys, I had asked them to list people they wanted to invite to the party (up to eleven people were allowed), so we were able to gather eight people together, six of us went to dinner at One of A Kind Pasta & Grill before heading up to the room. Actually, we had issues leaving the restaurant as the cash we put down for the bill added up exactly to the bill amount.

That left the remaining three.. but it was all straightened out in the end. So after our escape from the restaurant, we headed out to the room, where

I found a Clover Mite skittering around my desktop yesterday and today. I spent a moment looking up what the heck it was first before coming across the line in the wiki: "You are able to contain them for a little while if you draw a pen or sharpie circle around them." Wha..? So I tried it out. You know what? It does work! I even took a video of it.

Back from London

-
The flight back from London was fairly uneventful. I wanted to get some sleep but I knew my body and the environment probably would not have allowed me to get any rest, so I decided to watch some movies instead: I skimmed through "Rock of Ages", which I had started to skim through on the way to London. The movie was kind of meh. It did not have the same atmosphere as the musical, and really was unable to draw you into the story as much as a live performance (and enthusiastic audience) could. I then watched the new "Total Recall", which was okay. I thought it was better than the Schwarzenegger version though (I was not much of a fan of the original "Total Recall". I then watched "Ted", which had it's funny moments and in general was a decent movie. Next up was "The Descendents" which really brought back memories of Hawaii. It was a pretty good movie to boot! After I had landed and finished unpacking, I went downtown to meet up with
