New USB Charger

Mar

1

When you have multiple devices that use USB cord to charge, you need to have multiple USB charger. That becomes very annoying. I ordered the device that can charge multiple USB devices. Now I can carry just one device. This will come in very handy when I travel overseas.

Who said cloud services do not gown?

Amazon Web Service is down ... https://aws.amazon.com
It can happen, therefore it will happen.

Update (11:40 AM PT): AWS has fixed the issues with its own dashboard at least – it’ll now accurately reflect service status as it continues to attempt to fix the problem.

Update (11:57 AM PT): AWS says it believes they new “understand root cause” of the S3 issues, and are “working hard at repairing.” It has not shared specifics of that cause.

Update (12:15 PM PT): Network intelligence software provider ThousandEyes notes that all the packet loss for the ongoing issue appears to be happening in the Ashburn, VA area. Amazon has an AWS data center in Ashburn, whose exact location was revealed in a news story last year due to a fire during its construction.

Update (12:54 PM PT): AWS says it’s seeing “recovery for S3 object retrievals, listing and deletions” which means you’re probably seeing avatars and other visuals assets come back in some spots. The company also says it expects further improvements to error rates within the next hour.

Update (1:20 PM PT): S3 is now fully recovered in terms of the retrieval, listing and deletion of existing objects, according to the AWS status page, and it’s now working on restoring normal operation for the addition of new items to S3-based storage.

FEAST in Renton

Feb

26

This buffer restaurant was recommended by two of my friends ... I was not sure what to make of, but I visited it today.

This is big and foods are great. Because it was Sunday, the price was $24.99. I thought it was expensive but that thought disappeared when you see the line up of all the foods. I post some of the pictures. I highly recommend it and I understand why people tell me good tings about it.

Fail-Fast

Feb

Eric Schmidt
Executive Chairman of Alphabet, Inc.

Have you ever heard a term "Fail Fast"?

Nobody want to fail but there are more chance you fail in doing something than you succeed. In order to reduce waste (time, money and resource), it is very important to determine whether the project is fail or success.

If you can determine the failure quickly, you will gain an important knowledge without a lot of losses. Thus, the term Fail-Fast is born.

Growing The Company

Feb

You can grow your company organically but sometimes there are opportunities to acquire the companies. However, even though both companies are in the same industry, the culture and the way both operate business can be very different. So, it is one thing to acquire a company but merging with it is completely different.

PSPinc has acquire some hosting clients from other companies ... After few years, we are still merging them into our business. Is it worth the trouble ... Yes, but it is a hard work.

I flew Viergin and Alaska yesterday ... They are completely different.
