Dave Winer's Twitter posts for 4/10/2010

I will end up with a very small storage unit in Calif to hold intellectual memorabilia. I'm following Bruce Sterling's plan.
I'm not throwing out the backups of my various programming projects going all the way back to my work as an undergrad at Tulane.
The next in the series of posts about platforms and developers. This one for Twitter client devs, after the Tweetie deal. http://r2.ly/ym5x
Microsoft rejection letter, 1987. (Scripting News). http://r2.ly/ym6b
scripting.com is down (again) -- rebooting the server. If the last few days are a guide it should be accessible again, shortly.
I can't get the server to start up. The AWS support people are looking into it. In the meantime I'll put the current piece on wordpress.com
Twitter Week for client developers (wordpress.com version). http://r2.ly/ym9c
I've been reluctant to say Amazon is responsible for the outages this week on scripting.com, but I've been on the road, not screwing around.
That said, scripting.com is down now, and none of the magic incantations that have worked in the past are working today.
I don't have time to do anything more right now. The Amazon support people say "the hardware seems healthy." That isn't much help.
@truthtrap -- i have remote desktop but my server is dead. i don't think your android software is going to help revive it.
Well, scripting.com is really gone -- haven't heard anything from Amazon support in hours. May be my fault it's down, but I don't think so
@GeorgeReese have rebooted and more many times
I'm in the process of packing up my house and moving cross-country. So I just turned off the EC2 instance for scripting.com.
I have no time to deal with the technical issues now. I may not be able to get my site back up until I get back to NY.
And that may not happen for as much as a week.
I've been able to mount the http://scripting.com/ volume on an EC2 instance. Am copying it to my Dropbox folder after upgrading to 50GB.
Dropbox is a lifesaver. Quote me on that.
http://scripting.com/ is mostly back. By tomorrow it will be fully back, if everything goes well. http://r2.ly/ym5x
The air in Berkeley is thick with choking eye-smarting fireplace smoke. Hard to breathe. Smells gross.
