It’s that time a year again. Time to choose between the biggest carneval in northern Europe or the university project which is due in 20 days (according to my counter). This is of cause a no-brainer – the big party wins! and I’m ready. I brought a hat today, the kind of hat which would make Ron White say “..take off the hat!..” using his New York bouncer voice, just to make sure you know he means it.
Joakim har lige skrevet en lille notits om hans indflytterfest, hvor en Wii var blevet medbragt som aftenens underholdning. Det må siges at være et mega hit.
I have just discovered the server monitoring service at mon.itor.us and of cause I had to try it out. Although I have only been using it for about 30min, the total “package” seems quite nice. The website used to manage your sites / tests is done in ajax which almost never fails to impress also the provide notification through email, IM and phone – although I don’t intend to subscribe to the phone bit, it is a really nice option. Another nice feature, which I haven’t tried out yet is that they allow you to write specialized test to match your service exactly – cant wait to try that out.
the service still seems to be working nicely, the have added a small feature (called MyWidget) allowing you to brag about your servers (or services) uptime or performance. Its simply a small java script which is generated for you to add to your website. Although there exists a plugin for Wordpress, I have restricted my self to adding the default script to my University website.
