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.

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”.

Problems updating twhirl – it kept reporting an ‘Adobe AIR error 0’.
The problem was that the installer did not have permissions under Vista to install into c:program files.
The solution – run the Adobe AIR installer as Admin – c:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobe AIRVersions1.0Adobe Air Application Installer.exe – then select the .air file and install.

What a pain. Lots of photo printing sites use the Snapfish uploader – the only problem is there seem to be multiple versions out there – and they don’t co-exist at all.
Here’s an example – the UK Truprint site clashes with the legacy Costco printing – so Rachael had problems uploading.
