  • Please don’t let me down this time

    Today I awake with this sentence inside my head “Please don’t let me down this time” and when going over the lyrics it matches perfectly what I am feeling. Amazing! Looks like it was a message sent from my subconscious.

    José González – Fold

    Taking time
    To walk down all the aisles.
    Turning over every stone.
    Building new rulers but still haven’t burnt any old.

    Please don’t let me down this time.
    I’ve come a long way to just fall back into line.

    Keep both feet on the ground
    While I change the wings.
    I promise one day I’ll be coming around
    From my cloud to see what it’s all about.

    Please don’t let me down this time.
    I’ve come a long way to just fall back into line.

    Please hold me back
    If I tend to lose it and steer into old tracks.

    Please don’t let me down this time.
    I’ve come a long way to just fall back into line.

  • Dark Lullaby

    This beautiful dark lullaby has been spinning inside my head all week.

    Holly Miranda – Everytime I Go To Sleep

    Every time I go to sleep I kick and scream and dream a little bit
    Violently awakening to what’s real is really bullshit
    Every time I go to sleep I kick and scream and dream a little bit
    Violently awakening to what’s real is really bullshit
    And there’s no light for me

    Every time I go to sleep I kick and scream and dream a little bit
    Violently awakening to what’s real is really bullshit
    Every time I go to sleep I kick and scream and dream a little bit
    Violently awakening to what’s real is really bullshit
    And there’s no time waiting

    All this space, we stretch to bend to pull
    To keep our face on the other side of the world
    And there’s no going back
    And there’s only change
    Uh huh

    All my life has been on the edge of falling down
    One cool night, they’re gonna put my heart in the ground
    And there’s no going back
    And there’s only change
    Uh huh

  • Tumblr F*** yeah or just F***?

    Tumblr the end is near
    My rant about Tumblr was my most popular post on Tumblr ever. I know how popular tech backlashing’s are but mine came from the heart. I hated the deal. Tumblr was my place.

    Yesterday, I read David’s announcement and got the F*** yeah! at the end and the gif with Marissa (expected better).

    For a moment I thought, ok what will really change? Why was I making such a big deal? Congrats.

    After the Yahoo event (great job with the Flickr refresh) it all came back to my mind.

    After a while, I thought: NO! A lot has changed. All has changed. Marissa is the boss. It’s all fine, Marissa is proving to be a great fit for Yahoo but what if the stock drops? What if Marissa decides to become a fulltime mom. Or ‘knock on wood’ she gets ill? (Miss you Steve)

    Who will be there? Who will be the boss? Will David still care to fight back? Who will stop Tumblr of becoming MySpace?

    So, I stand with my first gut instinct: F***, the days are numbered! (Hope I am wrong. Really, really wrong)

    Final note:
    Thanks @PauloGaspar7 for the tweet, it kicked me out of the laziness to write this post.

  • When I’m with you

    Slip into your skin and spend the night
    And get out mine
    Walking the streets in dark
    Where lamps are the sunshine for the trees
    Oh for the trees.

    Cause everybody needs somebody
    To hold them down
    Oh everybody needs somebody
    To hold them down
    When your feet are leaving the ground
    Leaving the ground
    Leaving the ground
    Leaving the ground.

    Be the blanket for my bones
    Be a place that I call home
    Slipped into your skin and spent the night
    Cause I feel like a different man
    I feel it when I’m with you
    When I’m with you
    When I’m with you
    When I’m with you.

  • Why you should NOT use GoDaddy has your hosting provider

    GoDaddy is a great place to register domains. PERIOD

    I have been running a dedicated server little over one month we can report 3 occasions of downtime. And many other issues when the server simply is acting erratic.

    On a situation, I waited (over the weekend) 36 hours for a ticket reply.

    Last week during a business meeting it stopped working, I went to the status report page of GoDaddy and it said that dedicated servers were with problems. Took them 5 hours to solve.

    Today I started getting errors from crons running and I can’t ping ssh.github.com (unknown host) from the server and Just-ping results ok all over.

    It is sunday (I work everyday, contrary to GoDaddy support). The chat support for dedicated servers is has good as not being there. Hours waiting and no answer. And that power cycle message that I just started and that can make the server go down for 30-60 minutes (again).

    Went to the status page, all good. Then, went to dedicated server control panel:

    GoDaddy status vs reality

    I think this picture illustrate the question.

    If I didn’t have so much on my to-do list. I would change it today. But I have deadlines and things already planned. The only thing I know is that I will move out of GoDaddy.
