Day 2 on the mediatemple.net (mt) platform. Having moved form a Pipex
owned 123-reg dedicated server (which are actually rebaged Donhost
servers) I am finding the connectivity on (mt) much better.
Even though my previous server was UK based I only managed about 10 KB/sec throughput to the server - and never once more than 1 MB/sec
fron any one of a range of UK locations - it was clearly massively oversubscribed. Even thought the (mt) service is based on the east coast US
I'm still able to consistnatly get 9-10 MB/sec over a transatlantic connection.
As I didn't really have my content organised I figured I might as well take it all offline to provide some impetuous for me to sort it out
at last and so am now in the progress of setting up and re-importing content and microsites for various projects. I also be sorting out
the svn server and linking to the various projects/applications/code snippets.
I've got some neat stuff using Mono, some interesting DHTML / Canvas / JavaScript examples and a few
PHP driven projects I'd like to publish. In particular I've been playing with YQL, Yahoo! and Google Maps API's, Geolocation services amoung other
things. I've also been toying with iPhone app development, but I figure I have enough to sort out right now without starting any new projects.
