this means 119 Gigs of transfer this month ! Blizznet is going to kill me for this

yes, Blizznet has offered it’s customers as a kind of “thank you” a real flatrate for July and August and this with normal Blizznet speed ( 10Mbit ) The result after the first weekend ( Today is the 3rd as some might have noticed ) is this:

that would be 13G of download and 23G of upload … in only 2.5 days!

hurray mister “I-am-as-stupid-as-amonkey-but-leader-of-the-us” has left Austria, but not without leting the people know and feel that mister “I-am…” you know the rest …, is on the way. The complete city was packed, the freeway A4 and S1 where full because mister monkeyface went to the airport. Oh here a short message, not that I think that anyone would ever read this, to mister monkeyface ( yes, Bush ! ) but since the english language doesn’t have the words I need to express my self … I will write my message in romanian.

This would be funny, if it wasn’t real 

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush’s daddy made war on him; a good guy when Cheney did business with him; and a bad guy when Bush needed a “we can’t find Bin Laden” diversion.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

Once again I had to talk on the phone with one of my favourite German company, the big, bad Magenta coloured T-Com. I had to pay a bill, but since I have a Austrian bank account I need IBAN and SWIFT/BIC for the transaction but they wrote only the IBAN on that bill, now this is the first real stupid thing! So what should I do … call T-Com, the ones responsible for bills, so I assumed they have at least a clue about banking.

So here I am, my last in berlin and I had to move to my favourite hotel, hotel panorama. Do you know the beds from the 80s, with a radio clock in the middle? Thats exactly what I have here. Anyway it could have been worse so I will not complaint. The worst thing was the amount of baggage I had with me in berlin. It took me about a hour to get all my stuff in the car and the guy from the reception looked a bit strange. But after this week I will finaly have holiday, beach, sun and fine cigars.

I should know it better, especially that this isn’t the first time it happens. I installed once again after a long time nagios on my server so I have something that keeps an eye on the server. Anyway … I installed nagios-mysql ( as I did the last time ) but it looks like the database has to be created before installing, or … who knows, I still didn’t RTFM. well the result was that the 5 min. nagios was running I dumped about 2 gigs of syslog messages that where saved in the syslog, message, users AND the nagios.log … I had over 8 Gigs of logs, good performance test for syslog-ng by the way. Anyway now I finally cleaned up everything, as .gz the file isn’t that big at all only 8.5 MB, OK now that logrotate is finished I should get back to my server.
