Amazon Singapore cheap spot instances
It appears they are not many users of AWS in Singapore. You can get away with a spot instance on reserved pricing rates.
I bid for the on-demand pricing however the prices have remained in the lowest bid region give or take 3-4 cents.
Singapore's AWS is a relatively new Cloud Data Center.
Currently I use AWS SPot instances to host Game server on high end EC2 Instance c1.xlarge. Previously if I had to go to a dedicated server provider it would cost me upwards of 700SG$ and very shitty infrastructure and choked network. currently a c1.xlarge costs about 10$ for 2-3 days on Spot instances so its still a massive saving.
There is network issues in Singapore. As usual its the ISPs and monopolies that singapore has harbored for so long. This is not AWS fault but you should know what to expect. Now that AWS has entered the market I think they will pretty much wrap up the price fixing that has been so rampant in the hosting market. Which is already so small its not even important. AWS will bring competitive pricing and worldwide revenue distribution to both South-east Asia and Asia in general.
Singapore was always so disappointing when it came to hosting servers. We all just had to use US servers. This is quite incredible for us individual enthusiasts as well as startups.

can't install Adobe Reader X on Windows 7 or Vista
Secure Award Wining Free PDF Reader
Installs easily when run as Administrator. It probably better than Adobe. Adobe reader X does not install as they are trying to do something fishy to your system in their latest release. Their QA probably runs their system as administrator all the time. haha

CherryPy 3.2 is broken. damn
sooo dum dee dum I head over to cherrypy download page and download the latest version which happens to be 3.2.1 as of now.
so like a kid opening his christmas gift I untar the archive and run
python setup.py install
File "setup.py", line 25
'wsgiserver2|ssl_pyopenssl' if python3 else 'wsgiserver3'
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I think cherrypy is dead. to pack a failure like this is pretty bad.
I try to download 3.2.0rc2 ... oh empty directory
ok lets try 3.2.0rc1 ... found something.... download
untar
python setup.py install
...
tada! it works...
but frankly this isnt getting cherrypy any points for uploading a broken package 9completely uninstallable) into their repo as so called stable fracking release. @the Devs of Cherrypy, when toasters show up at your doorstep you will remember this.
