Hi Peoples,

I'm not really managing to keep tabs on LJ of late. Hope you're all doing fabulously!

So, there is much talk about using S3 for backing up your production data, but what if your production data is *in* S3?

S3's resilience and availability is oft touted (although with some hyperbole, three 9s could still leave you down for a business day without recourse) however user, coder and admin error occurs and, perhaps, a get out is needed if S3 does go down for whatever reason.

So, do any of you have precious things in S3? How to you keep them safe and secure? Inquiring minds want to know.

As an aside, MogileFS and S3 seem to have a certain affinity. Has anyone tried to put together an interface so that applications could be coded to use either at a whim? Seems like it shouldn't be too hairy, but then I'm an admin, what do I know about coding. :) If that were reasonable, then would syncing a local MogileFS install with your S3 buckets be a reasonable way of keeping backups, and how would you handle revisions of files in that instance...

It would seem Gmail is Down

(based on a suggestion found here.)

Y'know, because, conceivably, that is a *single step*!!

My first venture into corporate blogging, be gentle, won't you? :)

you spend your quiet time once your daughter has gone to bed passing hastily scribbled notes to each other on the couch.

These notes contain psudo-code for how to iterate through a series of pixel grids and collate the results of which pixels coincide. Array of arrays, Array of Hashtables, Hashtable of Hashtables? I believe that's an ecumenical matter.

Hello.

Every time I look at my journal with an intent to post my brain grinds to a halt, no idea what to write, so this is going to be a bit stream of consciousness. :)

I'm now working as Manager, Network and Systems for Bondware, Inc. and 6 weeks in I'm still loving it. Great people, great approach to the business, lots of interesting work to be getting on with.

If all goes according to plan we're a week away from closing on a house walking distance from ebonyrae's daycare and Vanderbilt so easterbunny can walk to work. Will be great to get the extra space and it comes with a patio, so al fresco drinking, dining and cooking! :)

In other news my new espresso machine should be ready for delivery any day now. It's a Salvatore One Black and I'm really rather excited about it! :)

Hope everyone's well!
