My first Amazon Webservices EC2 + S3 experience

Yeah, I made it Details follow …

Targets I want to achieve sometime

• replace my various webhosters with an AWS EC2/S3 based WebServer
• having a “playground” instance for development (LISP … and other) not only usable by myself (maybe)
• a windows based server for customer services

Dreamin’ of a service for iPod/iPhone …

Edit :  Sometimes I’m an idiot … but finally managed to run an Windows Server /w WebDAV for file transfer and running the ADS database server.

Beeing ill gives some spare time playing

I’m quite ill for a week now and it will take another 2 weeks to recover from to this horrible influentia.

Can’t stay in bed all time I use some of this spare time for experiments, like first steps with Amazon Webservices for example,
maybe I blog about these experiments

Gentoo Linux & VMware Server 2

Finally I got it working on my new server. Quite easy, but one problem left: Only with VMware Remote Desktop I have access to my VM’s,
but not with any Remote Desktop Application, neither on Windows Vista nor  on OS X Leopard.

But I will get this working too … sometime …

My iPod Touch (1G) jailbreaked with QuickPwn using Cydia

I didn’t use it much for about 6 months. But now bought the update via iTunes and gave QuickPwn a try. Perfect !

Then I stopped at the AppStore in iTunes. Overwhelming … got lost. It’s a pity that there is no real database,
or tags or … whatever could be helpfull to find apps which could be usefull for my purposes.

At least it works perfect, it’s a lot of fun playing with, using it as big USB stick replacement or a Password Safe or whatever.

And I’ll buy the videos from The Pragmatic Programmers for the first steps towards my first iPhone / iPod Touch application.
Just hope that i get the time for …

Safari 4

I must admitt that I’m quite impressed and use it more and more … although I miss the add-ons quite heavily.
But for surfing it is great, love the new Top Sites View !

But I can’t edit my wordpress blog with Safari 4 ….
