Server Move and Wordpress Upgrade

Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal

Kinda had nothing to do today, so decided to move my hosting account from a US server to a local server. My webhost (easynet-interactive) has several servers, some in US and some at local data centers. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but my blog sure seems to load faster!

Also upgraded Wordpress to version 2.1.2 without any incidents. The most useful feature I think is the auto-save of posts. No more worries of browser crash, accidentally closing the tab etc..

Everytime I write a new post, I choose a tag for my post. It is then when I’m “reminded” to clear up my tag structure.. it’s so damn messy, so many tags with just 1 or 2 posts.. sigh.. I’ll leave it for some other day :p

    No, it’s not psychological effect. Basic networking knowledge would tell you that if a server’s nearer to where you are, it’ll just take less hops and less distance to cover to reach the server you wanna reach.

    Then it must probably be tmnet’s outgoing routers or something.. coz each hop shoule be just a few miliseconds..

    Nah, tmnet’s routers doesn’t stretch all the way to US. a least cost calculation is done, hop that way, eventually you go to another server in another country and another country and then another country before you reach US, and half the time, the timeout happens in one of these international servers, not at home
