Last night the server ran out of disk space while doing a backup. That affected most of the sites and some services hosted on this server. I have cleaned up some space since, and made sure that there will be enough of it for the backups to run. I’ll also keep an eye on it to see if there was some other problem hiding behind the disk space issue.
Apologies to everyone who was affected.

I’ve already posted the trailer of “The Expendables” movie which is coming out this week. But here is another bit that you don’t want to miss – The Expendables explosive interview with Sylvester Stallone. One of the best movie ads that I’ve seen in a long while!

But not only that. They are trying to figure out who is the next in line. If you have an opinion on this matter – vote in their poll. If you don’t – check the article anyway – it’s pretty cool.
As for me, I am not that well familiar with Oracle’s business, but judging by a few comments here and there, one company that they won’t buy anytime soon is EMC. If I remember correctly, because there is some personal affair going on. Or maybe that’s just all rumors and my misunderstanding of it all.
