New server installed

Hey everyone, after 2 days of various attempts to tweak our server setup there wasn’t anything else that could help the situation than adding extra hardware. Therefore, I finished installing a brand new server, which should make RLSLOG finally faster for everyone. The speed of our site was lately quite slow and there were also numerous downtimes – all of this should be history now.

For hardware geeks, I add details of new server:

  • Quad Core Xeon X3320, 2.5GHz, 2×3MB, 1333FSB
  • 4 GB RAM, 667 MHz
  • 500 GB SATA HDD

Let’s hope everything will be much more smooth now. In case some problems appear, please post them in comments and I will look into them. Have fun!

Enough April Fools’ jokes + the 2009 list

As most of you noticed, RLSLOG has been kind of upside down, or to be more exact, right to left. Of course this was a small April Fool’s joke. We had prepared something much bigger but it failed at the very last second because of someone else who was involved.

Anyway, I believe you enjoyed enough of right-to-left reading so I switched the design back to original. To have some more fun, I compiled this list of nice pranks created by other websites.

April Fool’s Day list:

  • YouTube – completely reverted site including videos. If you remove flip=1 from URL, it goes back to normal design.
  • Njection – BBC to stream Top Gun for free on Hulu
  • Smashing Magazine – Internet Explorer 8.1 code name “Eagle Eyes” released
  • Google gBall – football ball with built-in GPS module and motion sensor
  • ThePirateBay – Warner Bros bought Pirate Bay
  • Guardian – British newspaper stops print version and conitnues only on Twitter
  • Woot – bag of crap for $3 and $1,000,000 shipping
  • Gmail – new Auto-response feature
  • Reddit – new “Digg-like” design, renamed to Reddigg
  • BBC – Earth population exceeds limits
  • KegWorks – Insta-beer – just add water
  • Sitepoint – internet reboots today at 11.59 UTC

Sponsor 3rd RLSLOG Birthday Competiton!

The tough month of January meant some downtime and legal problems for RLSLOG, but that’s all history, we are running fine and the site is stable now. The problem is, we missed the day of RLSLOG’s 3rd Birthday! And although I could easily skip this and wait for next year, it’s a great chance to give away some cool prizes to you, our readers… and I am sure you don’t want to miss that either.

Our last Birthday competition was quite a success with prizes worth few thousand dollars. All you had to was send an original piece of graphic with RLSLOG theme and if your entry was good enough, you had a chance to win some nice prizes. I won’t uncover what you will need to do in order to win yet, but I can promise you some cool prizes once again.

We will sponsor and offer numerous prizes, but the biggest part relies upon you. If you have something to offer, we would be really happy if you could sponsor our 3rd Birthday Competition with a nice prize. You can submit basically anything including Premium download accounts (Rapidshare, Megaupload, …), webhosting, domain names, gift certificates, membership accounts, cash (PayPal), software or hardware (you need to be able to ship it worldwide though). If you have something to offer, don’t wait any longer and send us an email with more details!

You probably ask what you will get in return. Well, we will mention you here at Releaselog in a special post, together with URL and description you provide. Each sponsor will be mentioned at least two times, in two separate posts. Considering the massive readership we have, I can guarantee you at least few thousand visitors sent to your website. This is also a great chance to do some branding and spread the word about your service through our site. The deadline for sponsorship offers is Friday 13 – the competition will start on the following weekend. Looking forward to the next weekend!
