DreamHost has changed their rules lately. They have a script running which kills processes that goes over their limit of 153600.00. That is of course since I’m hosted on a shared server, so they’re killing the processes calling my ruby applications.

When trying to access any of my ruby applications, even the Sinatra-powered ChanLu Dev, it takes more than a minute to load compared before when the loading time took only five seconds. There are other ruby applications I’m using, like Tracks and Redmine that I can’t live without. Also, I really don’t want to use other programming language for ChanLu. Let’s just say Ruby got me, and it took my heart away.
I know that I do need a private server if I want to host ruby applications, DreamHost also advised me to get one. I’m planning to purchase a VPS plan on another hosting company, because they’re more affordable. I just hope to have some more money to finance on this.
Wallpaper Challenge week # 18. Our challenger was Cielo – part of the sales team of the company, and her topic was:
Lazy Sunday
This is by far my most colorful submission. Featuring my chibi character used to portray myself, I’ve used this character on a few of my submissions, as well on the current design of ChanLu. Due to the one hour limit of creating the wallpaper, I am not satisfied with the outcome. There are no highlights and shadows on the character. The vectored character is too stiff, specially on the hair part. Colors used are not well thought of. And the concept is typical, but I guess this is one decent submission.
