Blog updates
Live family blog is now updated and running WordPress 2.7 beta 1. This site will be updated later today.
Looks like a small cache/redirect glitch somewhere on the WPG integration – it was rewriting URLs in a strange way. That’s working now.
Peel documentaries rebroadcasted on BBC Radio 6
A great re-broadcast of the John Peel documentary about New Order on BBC Radio 6.
If you are quick you can catch it here.
Really moving to here Peel on the radio four years after his death.
Amazon S3, Azure, Live Grid and the cloud
Now Amazon have opened a European S3/EC2 datacenter in Dublin I am experimenting with video hosting on Amazon S3 and having data in Europe.
Several reasons:
- there is a big fat pipe out of that datacenter into most European markets; most of the family watching our videos are in Europe. It’s a lot of hops closer (lower latency, better experience) and it’s a whole lot faster (not slurping out of my server rack at 1 Mb/s at best)
- I don’t have to worry about the storage of the data. It’s just there.
I’m looking at moving other data into the cloud too; waiting to see what Microsoft offer up in terms of Azure and other offerings. Live Grid is consumer grade right now – but looks like a good start.
“Even as we speak”
The usual late night web browsing (with music playing and a cold beer in hand) got me to Egg Records.
They have released the early catalog of Even As We Speak – an early 90’s Australian band; who happened to make it big on John Peel, released an album and disappeared.
Take a look at the compilation – “A Three Minute Song is One Minute Too Long” and try and find yourself a copy of “Feral Pop Frenzy”.
