This is one from the archive; I chose to post it today because the reason I didn’t shoot something new today is I am busy geeking out playing with Amazon EC2 (cloud based servers) and moving my blog and the rest of my domains over to it.

I am a geek, or at least I like to pretend to be one :) . And, this stuff is a lot of fun for me. EC2 is about the coolest thing I have played with tech wise in some time :) See ya all tomorrow.

  1. Great space…a lot of room for chickens to run! :-)
    Lovely reflections.

  2. beautiful country shot

  3. ec2? been using it for a couple of years on and off…mostly for testing…and s3 for backup storage. i prefer the rackspace cloud for running servers (but i also use it for side loading images on my blog via api). good stuff jeff…as [http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewie007/] says…geeks rock! even if it’s only them that think that.

  4. Grand clouds – and yes, of course, geeks rock… :D

    Seen on your photo stream. ( ?² )

  5. Thanks everyone :)

    @lupinehorror — This ec2 stuff has been my first exposure to cloud servers, I have been using s3 for jungledisk for a while. I ended up replacing my little vps (well i haven’t quite yet, still need to setup email) with a couple of reserved micro instances. It will end up costing me a tiny bit more but my vps couldn’t even host wordpress it was so memory constrained. I probably should have looked around at other options before committing to ec2 — i’ll have to give rackspace a look before my reserved status expires.

  6. just put my glasses on thought Chewie said Greeks Rock !

    lovely shot and i have no idea what you are talknig about Jeff but there is a new group you may find interesting i,ll get an invite for you soon

  7. have a look here jeff…spin up a wee debian 5 server and see how you go. you’ll be able to open a secure shell within minutes and it’ll cost you buttons to try it out ($0.015 per hour for the smallest instance). recommended.

  8. Oh wow, hens wondering under blue sky: looks like a lovely place to be.

  9. The chickens make this shot — fabulous
