On search for a cellphone
After two months of determining to put up with cell phone shortcomings and get one…I …rather the cell phone industry has failed me. Verizon has the coverage and network I want (CDMA) but falls behind with free minutes that start after I stop talking to people. Morever their tri-mode phone (LG-6100) doesnt have complete functionality with bitpim.

Sprint (also CDMA) has a decent phone (PM-8200) with full bitpim support with good pricing, but lacks service in some areas.

Both companies fail to offer good no-contract deals. I am not really considering GSM networks because of where I live (America). 

In related news T-Mobile has been hacked twice recently. See T-Mobile hacked again! [Removed dead link, no archive available]

FreeBSD VPS

After nine months testing we are now offering FreeBSD VPS Hosting on the SAVVIS network.
Among the most difficulties was developing a way for in-Jail quota support (as far as I know we are the first to offer this on FreeBSD) without UID/GID conflicts with other jails. This was accomplished by creating a memory disk device (see man 8 mdconfig) for each jail and mounting them as partitions. See falconhosting.net
