Verizion – Side by Side with at&t Coverage Map
Nov 18th
I like this map. It really shows how poor at&t’s coverage is. I had at&t for a long time, and I would get dropped calls on my iPhone. I would call at&t all the time and the rep would say that its not in your contract that at&t guarantees service. So basically I had bad service, would get 10 dropped calls per day, and at&t says the service is fine. They would continuously point to the coverage map saying my area has full service. How do they explain the dropped calls? At&t would say they don’t guarantee service.
This map speaks for the nation. And even the local coverage is the same. I have no problem with a company not supporting particular areas. But at&t would continuously point to the local coverage map of my area, and say I have full coverage. The map is not correct. I talk more about my local map in a previous post.
Jiglu Discontinues Service
Nov 1st
A wonderful autotagging addon to any website was Jiglu. They would automatically tag popular keywords and other relevant content that is on your site, and other sites in the Jiglu network. Jiglu has discontinued this service to pursue, what appears to be, a paid service. For a long time now Jigu has gone through some service changes; they first has a popup that would come from the side of the screen, recently they had a popup that would come from the center of the screen. They also had statistics that were rather informative. The most recent version linked in other websites with similar content, that would also bring in visitors from other sites to yours. We will miss your free service Jiglu, as your website matures and a pricing structure emerges you will definitely have customers.
Nagios Virtual Server Monitoring in 15 Minutes – Intro
Feb 26th
Nagios allows you to graphically monitor your virtual servers from a single web page. No longer will you have to load each individual website or web service in order to verify consistent operation. Nagios can be downloaded directly from their website at: http://www.nagios.com On the Nagios homepage is a link to a 15 minute tutorial, which is relatively straight forward, and works like a charm. I recommend Ubuntu JeOS for your virtual OS specifically because the kernel works flawlessly with the host operating system.
