Well – basically, when there are time for work – there are also energy for private projects at home. And surely – i feel that i have been busy … With nothing…. Took some time off (the web) to focus and close all ongoing actions here at home, and trying to establish what is necessary for me and my ambitions – as well as trying to take some time off.
But – I have still found my time on the computer – trying to catch up (and close projects) something that has been my utmost pleasure:
- Closing down several email accounts
- Closing down web hosting – moving domains.
- Closing down messengers and subscriptions that is not in use anymore.
I have to say – that in more than one case – I believe that closing down a service is next to impossible and i have the suspicion that certain companies (yahoo, icq, msn and others) are speculating in keeping these unused accounts – just to be able to counts users by numbers.
I had way to much hardware (and this is a problem with being in this trade) and these computers were all running 24/7 in my home – doing nothing but contributing to the welfare of my energy supplier.
I did take the pill – and went for virtualization – VMWare to the Rescue – What a wonderful situation – one server (well actually 5 live servers in one box) utilizing my resources and even sometime being able to switch it all off completely – what an wonderful situation. My Dell 440 Server has saved my day (and most likely an substantial amount of money on the electricity bill).
