New server: “Pulsar”
In order to further facilitate the bandwidth needs that I never thought I would require, mainly for OS X Mercury and the upcoming OS X Quicksilver, I have gotten myself a new server yesterday over at the colleagues of Hostgator. After having read a lot of reviews about them, I believe to have certainly made the right choice with them as the host.
Hostgator: Eating up the competition. Believe me, it seems to be true.
The new domain is called pulsar-se51.net, but will serve no directly visible content. If you go to the site now, it will tell you that it is the Pulsar server. The server mainly will host Mercury, will be used for testing of my upcoming things, and for OS X Quicksilver (again as testing coil and later as host).
The server provides a whopping 2 Terabyte (that’s right folks: it’s Terabyte. You know, Tera comes after Giga) of bandwidth for every month. EVERY month. I believe this to be pretty sufficient for all eventual visitors of the project.
I’ll point Mercury’s booting sequence and the environment to the new server shortly after this blog entry.
Please test iTunes and let me know if streaming works. Also: I am in the process of repairing the iPhoto gallery - so please don’t be puzzled when nothing happens in the moment on the iPhoto dock icon. It only bounces. I took away the function for the moment, I believe iPhoto to be back on the weekend. In it’s full glory, no more over at Picasa.
Wanted to share that with you folks…
