The new Knight Rider series was just scheduled for nine more episodes. If you haven’t seen the show…please…don’t bother. It is TERRIBLE.
1. The acting is not even on par with a high school play.
2. The special affects are the worst
3. The in car scenes are 80′s-ariffic! For example, a week or so ago, he was racing a Ford GT40. From the in car view, looking backwards, you could “see” out of most of the windows. The GT was no where to be seen. Moments later, they did an aerial shot and the ford was right behind the Mustang on the driver’s side. Clearly a stock window scene was being used.
4. The plots. They are stolen from popular movies. Last week (I did not watch it) was a “Crank” based plot where he was injected with a poison. The week before had a “Fast and The Furious” theme where he had to disguise himself as a drag racer to get stolen weapons back. The week before that was a “pretend i am a surfer” ‘Point Blank’ theme.
5. did I mention the acting?

GlassBooth is another one of those websites that can help you decide which candidate more closely matches your opinion about different areas in politics. What I found different with this site is it actually tells you why you don’t match a candidate for the particular area.

So on the 11th, I received an email from our hosting company, BlueHost.com, that the server would be undergoing maintenance to improve performance all around.

The server paulandemily.com is hosted on will be undergoing a hardware upgrade at approximately

10PM MST October 11th

We expect the downtime for the account to be 1-2 hours, but could becompleted long before that window. This upgrade will greatly increase performance on your server and therefor your account. We apologizefor any inconvenience.
BlueHost Support

Unfortunately that 1 to 2 hour window is now up to 6 days. I chatted with a bluehost.com live rep from their website (after having one completely ignore and the chat die from inactivity…thanks). He said that the admins invested $32,000 into memory for this server and they are merging two physical servers into one. Maybe they should have invested in CPUs instead of memory because I keep hitting a CPU bottleneck. I guess their upgrade did not go smoothly and the expiration for the migration has now been changed to:
Expires: Fri Oct 17 07:20:13 2008
I know a few of my blog readers have their websites hosted on my account so I wanted to give a heads up. You can track the maintenance a bit by going here:
http://serverstatus.bluehost.com/ (edit: added thanks to Sean)
type your domain into the box and click submit. Right now its telling me:
Server Load:
* 2008-10-14 13:05:31: Box under heavy load — you may experience degraded system performance
Services:
* 2008-10-14 13:05:31: box56 and box57 merged into this server to provide better services for our customers
The CPU load on the server is really high. This server has 8 CPUs (or 8 cores..can’t really tell) and its got a CPU load of 18.02, so that means that the server’s CPUs are over loaded. 18.02 load/8 cores = 2.2525 load average per core. That means that when the processor was working on one process, there was 1.25 other processes waiting to be executed. Think of it as going to your favorite grocery store and they have 8 checkout lanes open and 18 people waiting to purchase their goods. The processes are the shopping carts and the contents of the carts vary so some take longer than others to check out.

Anyway, if you get an error about the site hogging CPU time or something about it being suspended, bear with me and refresh a few minutes later. Same goes for AshandBrian.com, GSGates.net, KurtandJodie.com, AJAllen.net, 92Turbo.com, Go2Fast.net, LaryandNarni.com, HearnHappenings.com, MatthewandAmberly.com, and a couple other sites I host.

Saw this on downloadsquad.com (I think?). There are two screen savers. One is called Holding Pattern and its a slow moving video of the view from a window in a plane. The free version (“Coach” class) has 17 different views. The paid-for version (“First Class” $17.50) has 57 different scenic views.
The other screen saver, Cubicle Flood, is a security camera view of an office cube space which slowly floods over the course of two hours (sounds like a missing scene from Office Space!).
