Slow

I just figured out why my blog has been brutally slow since I switched it over to Dreamhost: NFS. Individual flat files on disk don't scale when a page load is having to scramble over them on an NFS mount.

It also doesn't help that the shared host has a load average above 17 most of the time… right now, the CPU utilization on the box is about 75%. Maybe I should switch back to dedicated hosting!

Genius

Elaina's iPhone is showing the “Connect to iTunes” image on the display. Bad news: her machine is at home.

I connect it to mine, and iTunes pops up a dialog:

iTunes could not connect to the iPhone foo because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.

Great, thanks. I would if I could.
