Google added undo send to their Gmail service.

It reminds me Naruto Please, Mr. Postman! episode. In which Naruto and Jiraiya trying to get back a manuscript from some hardcore postman.

I just ordered a new cloud server from mosso.

From the server IP address 67-23-8-*.slicehost.net, apparently it is a rebranded slicehost.

To fully utilize my vps, I also build a home-grow GeoDNS server. So if you visit my blog from different locations, you could possibly get 4 different IPs.

This script will disable webserver’s directory index for currect directory and all subdirectories.

IFS=$'\n'
for i in $( find . -type d); do
    if [[ ! -f "$i/index.html" && ! -f "$i/index.php" ]]; then
        touch "$i/index.html"
    fi
done

This is a very simple linux bash script to help uploading files to mosso cloud files.

Mosso uploading script: Mosso.sh
Updates: Here is a Mac OSX Version (provided by Bryan Rehbein)

You will also need curl .

After you sign up mosso cloud files service, first you need to login your mosso cloud files control panel then navigate to Your Account / API Access, where you will generate your API key. Edit the begin of mosso.sh

API_KEY=YOURAPIKEYHERE 
USER=yourusername 
CONTAINER=bucket

Now change to the directory where you want to upload files. e.g. a wordpress installation:

cd /srv/http/wordpress

bash mosso.sh wp-includes/js/jquery

Mosso’s new CDN service cost $0.22 per GB.

http://blog.mosso.com/2009/03/cloud-files-emerges/  

Updates:

Some simple tests show mosso cdn is just as fast as amazon cloud front. I offloaded some of my blog’s static image to mosso cloud files.

Pagetest  shows about 10% overall page loading time improvement.

I also wrote a simple bash script to help copying files. It seems mosso does not support gzip encoding yet, nor does cname support.

Some test result:

Pagetest from New Zealand:

New Zealand Waterfall

New Zealand Connection

Pagetest from VA USA:

VA USA Waterfall

VA USA Connection

Amazone just anounced reserved instance.

The 3 year reserved small instance price at 3.9 cents per hour, which is equalivalent to $28 per month. Not bad for a vps with 1.7GB ram and 160GB hard driver at all. But I have found some even lower priced VPS, $3.95 per month for 512MB ram with 1 year billing.
