The server has suffered a "minor" upgrade

Monday, March 30th, 2009

I just installed an 80GB IDE harddisk. Considering that the primary hdd is about 6GB "big", I can say this is quite an improvement.
For those who missed it, currently my servers is a:
– Pentium III running at
– 500 Mhz with
– 256 MB ram and
– one 6 GB hdd and one 80 GB hdd
the rest is unimportant.
This is my 3rd server. My first one was a Pentium I if I recall correctly. My second was (well, is) a Pentium II.

So, a small spoiler 😀 In the following 1-2 weeks I will get my older server back online again, as a secondary, backup server, for some of my services. It will be located in anotehr city so it’s a good choice. More info after that’s up and running 😉

VMWare: Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

I started getting this error “Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to” when attempting to resume a suspended virtual machine. For whatever reason, this happened after a I have used acronis disk director to merge a partition to the partition on which the visrtual machines reside to gain more space. It could be only a conincidence though.
Anyway, After trying a few times to resume/power on the vm and also restarting vmware client (VMWare workstation ACE edition) I closed the workstation, restarted all services one by one and then started up the workstation again. I found the virtual machine powered on (in the powered on list) but not viewable. if I took a screenshot it clearly showed it was running. So, since I could not interact with the machine, I suspended it again, then resumed and everything was back to normal.
This happened once yesterday and once just now. In both times I’ve done the above steps and got the same results so it appears this is a workaround the problem.

Stupid AOL mail service

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Some people use AOL mail services. The stupid thing is that for some idiotic reason AOL rejects my messages as SPAM. So I tried to enroll in their stupid feedback loop and getting my ip whitelisted. BUT, one of the fields there was asking for somehting (I don’t remember exactly what) which I didn’t understand (and my english is not exactly low level) so I filled it in with something like "I don’t understand what you want for this field. But let me know and I’ll give you the info.". And the idiots just rejected my whitelist request AND they didn’t explain why.
So I’m going to BAN AOL emails on my services.

Shoot yourselves in the head you idiots.

Spamming idiots

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I started to receive some idiotic spam messages on the forum email address asking me to conact some partially random MSN ID.
So, like any good programmer out there, I made a small filter for my email server basically replying with something like "f**k off" whenever such a message arrived. It took 3 messages after I put up the filter for the idiot to stop sending them 😀
I am now applying the same idea to another spamming idiot who says set up some webpage for me. haha.
Next in line are the cialis/viagra idiots.

DC Server about to be discontinued

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I decided to discontinue hosting a DC (Direct Connect) Server. This will happen sometime in April.
I will most likely discontinue running the IRC eggdrop as well. I might replace it with a BNC though, just to keep my undernet username for myself. After all, I’m registered on #delphi 🙂
