I use domainpeople.com and after they changed to the new control panel they’ve added support for name server creation.

Thanks Steve, I’ve moved on to aTV Flash from FireCore and using Media Player instead of XBMC. The difference is huge, I can’t go back to XBMC.

Comment on Adding APC to MediaTemple Grid Service by outis

Ed, I believe what the MT tech was referring to is that the grid service web servers are clustered, rather than CloudFlare caching. Different requests may be served by different physical servers (nodes). Since APC caching is based on shared memory, the APC cache on one server is inaccessible to the other servers. For example, suppose requests are coming in for the main page:

1. Node A responds and caches the page.
2. Node B responds. The page is in A’s cache, but B can’t access it. B must cache its own copy.
3. Node A responds. Node A has the page in its cache, so uses it.

Thus, though APC will provide benefits for requests served by a single node, it won’t help across nodes.

Comment on Ubiquiti Bullet M2 and Some Random Long Omni-Directional Antenna by Jordan

You’re correct, you can’t plug a Male N Connector onto another Mail N Connector. You need a Female N Connector. You should be able to find a Female N Connector Antenna.

I don’t even know if they sell an adapter to connect two Mail N Connectors, I’ve always assumed that antenna’s have only Femail N Connector’s.
