Dear Linode.com Members, Today, June 16th, 2005, is Linode.com’s two year anniversary. This past year has been very successful – Linode subscriptions and the number of hosts online have doubled since this time last year. I hired Linode’s first employee. We’ve continued to improve the service that we offer. Here’s some insight into what we […]

By request of satyap, I’ve extended the [url=https://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=776]bw-xml script [/url]to include more data. [code]https://www.linode.com/members/bw/?user=[linodeUsername] https://www.linode.com/members/info/?user=[linodeUsername][/code] Since this is XML, the old /bw/ URL returns the identical data. The http request must come from one of the IPs of [linodeUsername]. There is no access control other than this. If that’s an issue, let me know. Example […]

Thanks for your business this past year, and I hope you have a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year! Regards, -Chris

For those in the States, have a happy Thanksgiving! -Chris

Recently I’ve received some legitimate complaints that tickets weren’t being updated in a timely manner. I’ve just pushed up some changes to the way tickets are handled on the back end. There are no customer-facing changes yet as I didn’t feel any were necessary, but if you have any suggestions I’m open to hearing them… […]

[quote]The first bit of news is that as of last Monday, I am working for Intel. They generously offered a full-time position, off-site, with my time mostly spent on UML. This basically means that UML is no longer a part-time, after-hours thing for me, so we should start seeing more work happening on it, especially […]

It’s been one year since Linode.com opened its doors on June 16th, 2003 and sold its first Linode account. I started this business because of my desire to be independent, and when I saw the usefulness of User-Mode Linux and envisioned the Linode Platform Manager to control it all, I realized what an incredible value […]

I’m looking for just a few Linode 64 users currently on hosts in the Fremont datacenter (host9 and up) to help test a new performance patch to the host and UML. UML works by using ptrace, a function of Linux to intercept system calls made by applications. When your UML makes a system call, the […]
