Yey, we just launched another blog from our Zedomax Blog Network called BagWhiz, a blog about luxury handbags.

Why?

Well, bags are a great niche for blogging, you can read about my niche blogging strategies on my Adsense Optimization Blog over here.  I will be writing a book shortly called, “How to Make Money with Adsense and Blog Networks”, so watch out for that.  I should either be selling it for a little money or give it out for free as an e-book.

Am I a bag addict?

Oh no, but I made this blog for bag addicts.  If you are a bag addict, please do check out our new blog and bookmark it or at least tell your girlfriend about it.

BagWhiz, a blog about luxury handbags and bag reviews, was just launched by our blog network.

You will find interesting stuff like Coach Bags, Fendi Bags, LV Bags, and more.

You can also find the highlights of last 10 posts of Bag Blog or any of our other blogs at the bottom of this page.  (way at the bottom!)

Well, I have been manually managing the dedicated server for this site for last 2 years or so but I found a better way to automate the server so it doesn’t ever go down due to overload.

One of the common problems in dedicated servers is the fact that load can go out of control and your web server along with it, causing you to hard-restart the server.

A better way to deal with this over-load problem is to shut down the HTTPD server (web server) before your server load gets to something around 2 to 5.

When the server load drops under 2, the script then can restart the server.

By doing this, you save a lot of headaches especially if you get “digged” or simply need the site up as much as possible.

Believe it or not, there’s no script that does this available free online so I made one for all you webmasters:


#!/bin/bash
loadavg=`uptime | awk ‘{print $9}’`
RESTART=”/sbin/service httpd restart”
# bash doesn’t understand floating point
# so convert the number to an interger
thisloadavg=`echo $loadavg|awk -F \. ‘{print $1}’`
if [ "$thisloadavg" -ge "5" ]; then
echo “Busy - Load Average $loadavg ($thisloadavg) “
httpd -k stop
elif [ "$thisloadavg" -le "2" ]; then
echo “Okay - Load Average $loadavg ($thisloadavg) “
pgrep httpd
if [ $? -ne 0 ] # if apache not running
then
# restart apache
$RESTART
echo “restart!”
else
echo “no restart!”
fi
else
echo “waiting…!”
fi


Save this code somewhere such as /root/checkload.sh.

Then add the following to your cron job.  (/etc/cron.d/sa-update for Fedora Linux)

*/1 * * * * root sh /root/checkloadsh

This will run the script every 1 minute to check the load and if load is too high, web server will be turned off, if it’s lower than 2 and web server is off, it will turn the web server on.

There’s a lot of things that can go wrong with your web server whether from extra traffic or whatnot, but this script will be handy and I do recommend it to anyone who’s having trouble with high-load web servers that go down often. (like this blog)

Now, go install this script, you will never have to worry about your web server dying from high load ever again.

You can also change the value of “2″ in the code to something higher such as 5 or 10, which will wait longer to shut the web server off if load goes high.

I didn’t write the code from scratch, I took 2-3 different scripts and mixed it up so here’s the resources I used for the code:

Load Average Script - This one is the main skeleton I used

Check/Restart HTTPD Script - This one I used to check HTTPD server before trying to restart it.

Cron Task Scheduler - I keep forgetting that the most left number is the minutes, darn.

NOTE - This is a simple solution to keep your dedicated server running on 1 server (like this one), if you can afford more servers, you will need to resort to load balancing the “servers”, load balancing here refers to balancing within 1 server.

First of all, if you are into rings, you should really check out our Ring Blog where we featured all types of interesting rings, diamond rings, casual rings, and more.

Back to the story, this Encoder Ring can basically store up to 64 characters using binary numbers.

It’s still a concept but I think it can go well if a company decides to go into production with it. (Similar to Tokyo Flash binary watches)

Encoder Rings began as an investigation in how to store precious or personal digital information. The result is

a series of rings that are decorated with tiny blobs and holes, that actually represent letters in binary code; the

code used as the basis for digital information. The user would choose a secret message 64 characters long,

have the message translated into binary code and finally have a ring produced using rapid-prototyping.

Saving earth or being socially resposible isn’t probably high on the list of priorities for those who drink a lot of beer but here’s a kegerator that might just change how refrigerators are built with no compressor.

Instead of relying on gasses similar to Freon, a process which can only be performed with energy-intensive compressors and heating coils, the new kegerators will rely on something called magnetic field refrigeration. In magnetic field refrigeration, electricity is introduced to a polarpolymer, causing the usually disordered molecules of the polarpolymer to become highly ordered. As this happens, heat is dispersed and the material grows cold. When the electricity is switched off this process reverses itself. And this doesn’t just mean more fun for the college crowd: someday Zhang predicts this technology will be used in everything from self-cooling gear for firefighters to chilling your CPU.

Here’s the video of Giant Mechanical Spider that was featured on our Weird Blog.

A 20-tonne spider that swung from a city centre tower block over commuters is to make its way across the city as part of a show.

Francois Delarozière created the mechanical artwork for La Machine show, which ends on Sunday. The Northwest Regional Development Agency and the Liverpool Culture Company have commissioned the work and show for £250,000.
