Nginx Ubuntu packages with the Fair Balancer module
03:49 PM
I’ve updated the Ubuntu Nginx package to version 0.6.32 and added the Upstream Fair Balancer module. We’re testing this for use at iLike and I figured this would be useful for others.
If you’d like to give my package a try, must add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list, or to their own file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/calmkelp/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/calmkelp/ubuntu hardy main
As of this writing these packages have the latest version of the Upstream Fair Balancer module.

Choppy full screen video on Hulu, and the fix
11:04 PM
I’ve been using Hulu to catch up on the premiers I’ve missed. Their new higher definition (still only 480p, but it’s a huge improvement) is nice, but almost unbearably choppy in full screen. This is on Windows XP (yeah, I know… I’ve been playing a lot of games lately and Cedgea is too much work) with the flash plugin or ActiveX control. My CPU has both cores pegged. This is a Core 2 Duo E6600, yeah a couple of revs old, but still pretty recent hardware.
The fix is just installing the Flash Player 10 beta. Now my CPU sits at 50% and video is smooth!

Moved back to plek.org
12:55 PM
Cross posted from blog.plek.org.
I’ve decided to run my own blog software again, so I’m moving from blogger back to plek.org. Any new content will be posted there. I’ve pointed feedburner at the new site, so the handful of people subscribing that way will just pickup the new site. This site will remain since some pages do get a few hits every now and then. I may import all my content into my new site, but that will take some work.
I intend to post more, but intentions mean nothign without actions. We’ll see if how it really turns out. :)
The new site runs on my Slicehost slice, using Chyrp, a fairly new and lightweight blog engine. So far I’m quite happy with out. I still have a bunch of layout tweaks to do, so there will be subtle weirdness along the way. It’s not like I actually get real traffic, so I just edit the live sites templates and CSS.
