We moved 43T to virtual cloud on Monday morning. Besides problems with bounce emails all seems to be humming well. Our average time to generate a page improved and errors decreased.
Did you take a part in making the app?? It ROCKS! I had no idea you got a parking ticket for your motorcycle… That’s new. How come you never update your other goals?
Love ya, Zora
I have 2001 Honda xr400. Predominantly my riding consists of single trails in the North West of Washington state. What I am trying to accomplish is to give the engine second life, without sacrificing its reliability and spending too much $$.
Considering that this is an air cooled bike with 9.3:1 compression ratio I did not want to choose a kit that would increase the compression to the levels where I had to start using race gas. The same goes for a clutch. If you increase the power too much the clutch will start to go faster as well. Keep it simple.
I am going to bore the cylinder from 85 mm to 87 mm which will increase displacement from 397 cmm to 416 cmm and install piston with 10:1 compression ratio. The kit goes for about $150.00 plus $80.00 for boring and honing of a cylinder.
I broke my arm on my bicycle. My only option was to take a bus or walk to and from the ferry to work. I walked on and off for three weeks. I am back on my bike now, so it will be more difficult to find time to walk again.
We are in process of replacing web servers which some of them have been with us since the beginning and adding a new ones.
- 7 new servers will be put into production by the end of next week.
- adding 28G of memory for memcache
- planning to switch master db with a slave db box since it’s newer and faster
- going to re-index entries and comments tables
- changing architecture of www.43places.com, www.allconsuming.net, www.43people.com and www.listsofbests.com setup to offload traffic from master database to farm of slave servers
- planning to speed up search by doing it locally on each box rather then doing it across NFS mounted drives
- I can not forget about the code optimization in progress
Hopefully this all will contribute to speed and stability of 43T.
Last week my dual sport kit arrived. I bought Dakar Dual Sport kit made by Electrosport through bikebandits.com. It was back ordered for a week or so. I have installed it with just a few little minor deviations from the manual. By the way I am using for now 100W OEM stator and not high power 2×100W one.
- I decide to keep and utilize my original back light. I used the back light fixture with the wiring harness that came with the kit and replaced my existing one with it.
- I wanted to attach back blinkers onto a frame and not on a plastic fender. For that I had to enlarge two existing holes at the back of my frame so the blinkers would fit there.
- I kept my kill switch wired as is without routing it through the kit.
The installation was very straight forward. I got confused only once when I was reading in the Instruction manual that this kit needs to be install using high power stator (which I did not purchased). I called electrosport support and confirmed that kit can be installed using original stator as well. From my local licensing office I found out that all I have to do now is to bring my title and new street legal one will be issued to me.
All right. I like that, now I can bring my horse to town legally..
I am a tea drinker and I had no idea how difficult it will be to stop drinking my tea. Now when I think about it I had one tea before work, one on the way to work, one when I arrived to work, one during lunch, one after lunch, two more before the end of work, one on the way home. Mostly all were 16 oz cups. Man, I am going through serious withdraw just writing about it..
In addition:
- we added an extra RAM to our master and slave DBs bringing it to 16G each
- added extra indexes to couple of tables
- added 8G of memory to memcache
- de-normalized some of our tables
- added more front end caching
The fight continues on.
I bought family of honeybees and installed the hive at the end of my property last week. I inspected the hive for the first time yesterday. This is the most difficult time for the hive since no offspring is being born yet and the bees are gradually dying out. I found the queen laying eggs. That was all I wanted to see. So far so good.
