Weekend Update

After talking with Apple's Tech Support for an hour today, the verdict is in: my PowerBook's hard drive is hosed. They're sending out a dispatch from Airborne Express, should be here on Tuesday. I package it up and send it back, should take around 5 business days to fix. I like Dell's Support better, they send someone to your house to fix the problem the next day. Since this is my primary development machine at my current client, it should make for an interesting week.

This site was down for most of the night last night - this time due to a core dump from the JVM. At least I'm more attentive to this site than the folks at javablogs, which has been down all weekend. I think it's time to quit hosting so many demos on this site. Currently there are 5, and they can't be helping my memory issues. I'll leave Roller and the Wiki on this site, and moving the others to my home server. I wonder if I can use the balancer in Tomcat 5.0.16 to redirect traffic to my demo server. My upload speed is only 200K, but that's probably enough for these small and simple demo apps (i.e. struts-resume, displaytag editable table, struts-menu, strutscx and my quick-n-dirty training app. I don't know if this will help, 54,000 hits/day (3000 visits) probably doesn't help much (I wonder how many of those are real people).

My PowerBook dying sucks, but hopefully it will get me off the computer at night, and I can enjoy more time with my family. Yesterday, I spent most of the day working for an old client, but I did get everything done I hoped to, so that's a nice feeling. Julie, Abbie and I went to Kiddie Kandids to get Holiday Pictures taken - 5 hours later (3 hour wait), we had them in our hands and it was well worth the wait. I'll scan one and post it soon. Today, we're getting/assembling our tree, and I'll snap a pic for Russ. This year, Christmas will be spent at the cabin, but a tree (and lights) is still essential in my book.

In my experience you can expect a much faster return from Apple. While it's still not as easy as dell machines sent to them on Monday are often back by Wednesday. I'd offer a loaner but mine will be making the trip for white spots on the screen and a portion of the screen with poor backlighting. Good thing the 12" keeps on ticking...

Or...perhaps you should get a decent hosting service. ;-)

That's the question Will - is it my hosting service or Tomcat just can't handle all the bandwidth?

One more thought you can take the powerbook to the Apple store today and they'll send it out today instead of having to wait for the box to come in. Just take your service ticket number to Cherry Creek or Aspen Grove.
