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.



Geeks Rock!
Great space…a lot of room for chickens to run!
Lovely reflections.
beautiful country shot
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.
Grand clouds – and yes, of course, geeks rock…

Seen on your photo stream. ( ?² )
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.
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
wow, nice one Jeff!
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.
Oh wow, hens wondering under blue sky: looks like a lovely place to be.
The chickens make this shot — fabulous
