Not Good: My own FTP script

My backup FTP script is NOT GOOD.. it exhausted my memory ?? on the webserver caushing the server to ‘crash’ / not react for 4 hours, even connecting my monitor to the server: I could type my username, but login: nope ..

So message to self: how the hell can I FTP 40GB of data via a shell script without exhausting my memory .. <sigh> …

rebooting (fingers always crossed) and after 5 minutes the server was up again

New York: Apple Store

Right now we are in New York and visiting the Apple Store at 5th Ave which is 24/7 open.

Yesterday’s flight was perfect. NewArk airport is beautiful. Not crowded nothing at all. Even the procedure to enter the US was simple and quick. We took a shuttle-bus which was there within 10 minutes waiting. Very easy and simple.

After a quickly refreshing ourselves we went to Time Square (just around the corner of our Hotel Edison), took the metro and finished our day with a delicious meal at the ‘Oyster Bar’ in Grand Central.

Day 2 we just started ..
