Resizing the Root Disk on an AWS EC2 EBS backed Instance

Have you ever wanted to have a larger root EBS volume on an EC2 Ubuntu instance? With these steps its easily accomplished with minimal down time. (Some of these steps were gleaned from this post at alestic.com.)

Im setting up a new "base" image for some servers Im starting in Amazons us-west-1 region. I started with a Ubuntu image built by RightScale, then did some basic setup to customize the image. Now I need to increase the root EBS volume a bit. Then I can use this as my own base image for starting new Linux servers.

Note: I use a combination of tools to manage my EC2 instances and EBS volumes, from Amazon Management Console, to command line tools, to ElasticFox. Often the tool I use depends on the way the wind is blowing on a particular day. For this post Im using the Amazon Management Console. For info on the command line tools see the previously mentioned post. Finally, one critical step cannot be completed using ElasticFox.

First, my volume is only the default size of 10GB (I used df -lah to display the volume size in GB), but I need it to be a little bigger:

The next step is to create a snapshot of the volume. This can be done a few different ways. Using various tools (command line tools, Elasticfox, EC2 Management Console, etc.) a snapshot of the volume could be created. Or, (my preferred method) is to create an AMI of the instance which creates a snapshot of the volume, and gives me a an AMI from which I can launch other, similar instances. FYI creating an AMI creates a snapshot of the volume.

Once the AMI and/or snapshot is complete create a new volume of the size you desire from the snapshot, which has to be in the same availability zone as the instance. My instance is in us-west-1a so Ill create my new volume will be in that AZ. In the AWS Console select Snapshots under Elastic Block Store, right-click the volumes snapshot and select Create Volume from Snapshot.

Specify the size you want. And, again, make sure to create it in the same AZ as your instance.

Next, stop your instance, detach the current volume, the attach the new volume (under Elastic Block Store, Volumes right-click your new/available volume, select attach EBS volume). When attaching the new volume select your "stopped" instance and specify /dev/sda1 for the device. This is the default first volume. Click yes, attach. Then start your instance and connect to it.

After connecting to your instance with its new volume if you run df it will report the original volume size, not the new size. So, the final step is to run sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1 in Ubuntu. Once this is complete you can run df to see the new, increased size of your volume.

The last thing would be to delete the volume you detached from this instance. Oh, and perhaps to make a new AMI.

Now, not only do you have a larger EBS volume on this instance, future instances made from (your new) AMI of this instance will have the same size volume.

the source of the headlines & graph below is this UK House of Commons Research Briefing

Since 2010, local authorities in England have estimated rough sleeper numbers through either a count or an estimate based on contact with local organisations.

In autumn 2015 there were an estimated 3,569 rough sleepers in England.

This is the highest figure since 2010 and is a 30% increase on the previous year.

940 of these rough sleepers were in Greater London (26% of the England total).

Register Global On dan Off

Ada pertanyaan menarik dari milis PHP yang sering saya ikuti. Hal ini sering sekali ditanyakan, dan banyak juga yang malas menjawab, karena terlalu seringnya masalah ini dibahas dan ditanyakan.

Fren, saya org yg sedang belajar utk menjadi programmer PHP, tapi script login.php saya tidak pernah mau konek ke database saat saya masukkan username dan password. Saya menggunakan PHP versi 4.3.6, Apache versi 2.0.49, phpmyadmin versi 2.6.0, MySQL.

Kebetulan, hari Minggu kemarin jalan-jalan sebentar ke Gramedia. Sambil melihat-lihat perkembangan buku-buku lokal. Saat awal-awal dibangku kuliah dulu, minimal selama dua bulan saya membeli satu buku komputer. Uangnya dari honor sebagai Asisten Lab, dan terkadang meminta tambahan dari orang tua :D. Sejak saya lebih dalam mengenal internet, mencari tutorial, pembahasan, dan contoh-contoh aplikasi, minat beli terhadap buku komputer menurun drastis. Ditambah lagi, buku-buku yang ada hanya menyajikan hal yang melulu. Tak ada pembahasan yang lebih menarik, dan lebih mendalam.
Kembali kepada pertanyaan diatas, masalah yang ada hanya berkutat pada Register Global. Rata-rata buku PHP yang beredar ditanah air, menerapkan Register Global yang bernilai On. Padahal hal ini sudah dianjurkan dan secara default dimatikan sejak PHP versi 4.2.0. Sebenarnya, apa perbedaan dari nilai On dan Off? Akan saya bahas disini.
Register global diset lewat file php.ini. Untuk pemakai Windows, file tersebut berada pada direktori Windows anda. Pemakai linux, biasanya pada direktori /usr/lib/php. Apa yang terjadi jika register global bernilai On? bahaya. Karena pada setting ini, semua variabel yang dikirim melalu metode post, get, juga variabel session dan cookie dianggap sama. Sebagai contoh:

<?
if(isset($submit)) {
echo $tes;
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Register Global</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="frm1" method="post">
<input type="text" name="tes" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Kirim"
/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Jika file tersebut kita simpan dengan nama tes.php, pada register global yang bernilai On, bisa dijalankan dengan cara seperti ini: http://localhost/tes.php.
Seolah, tak ada yang aneh dengan program diatas. Tapi tunggu dulu, bagaimana kalau kita menjalankan program diatas dengan URL berikut: http://localhost/tes.php?submit=1&tes=nahlho. Seolah, form yang kita buat tak berarti sama sekali. Ingat, ini baru sebuah file test, bagaimana jika hal ini terjadi pada sebuah aplikasi web yang sangat peka terhadap keamanan? oh, tak tahulah saya.
Sekarang, bagaimana merubah skrip diatas, agar bisa dijalankan dengan register global yang bernilai off? simpel saja. Lihat skrip dibawah ini:

<?
if(isset($_POST[submit])) {
echo $_POST[tes];
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Register Global</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="frm1" method="post">
<input type="text" name="tes" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Kirim"
/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Sekilas, jadi terlihat sulit, karena harus menambahkan “sesuatu” lagi. Tapi tak apa, inilah awal belajar PHP, memperhatikan keamanan skrip yang kita buat. Jika register global bernilai Off, maka, semua variabel yang datang, disikapi dari mana ia datang. Kebetulan, dalam skrip diatas, kita menggunakan form yang metodenya post, maka variabel yang diterima haruslah $_POST[nama_variabel]. Jika variabel itu berasal dari alamat URL, maka variabel itu haruslah seperti $_GET[nama_variabel].
Jangan menganjurkan saya untuk membuat buku PHP, karena sudah terlalu banyak buku PHP di tanah air. Inginnya sih membuat buku tentang XHTML dan CSS, karena sampai saat ini belum ada di tanah air, dan barangkali saja bisa meningkatkan jumlah pemakai blog di Indonesia. Tapi, lagi-lagi, hal ini terbentur dengan keadaan monitor, hardisk, dan CDRom dirumah yang sudah minta diganti.

Search Operation on Android online Database JSON

For the database setup, please refer to http://blog.kerul.net/2014/04/insert-new-record-on-android-online.html

INTRODUCTION

This tutorial will demonstrate how to retrieve an records form an online database. We are using the JSON data format to transfer the database content to the Android client.

STEP 1: JSON DATA FORMAT GENERATOR (server-side)

android-json-php-mysql-illustration
Overview illustration (click to enlarge)

In order to fetch records form the database, we will use the JSON data format generator using the PHP script. Add this file named search.php to the existing folder in the idiomjson folder, in htdocs. (Refer STEP 1 of this article http://blog.kerul.net/2014/04/insert-new-record-on-android-online.html)

search-php

search.php

<?php
//search.php
/*
 * Following code will search idiom based on keywords
 */
 
// array for JSON response
$response = array();
 
// include connect class
require_once __DIR__ . /connect.php;
 
// connecting to db
$db = new DB_CONNECT();

$keyword=$_GET["keyword"];
// get idioms based on keyword
/*
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM a_senarai_e WHERE " .
 "MATCH(entri) AGAINST ($keyword ".
 "IN NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE)") or die(mysql_error());
*/

//using LIKE
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM idiomlist WHERE entry LIKE %$keyword% LIMIT 0, 20") 
or die(mysql_error());
 
// check for empty result
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
 // looping through all results
 $response["idioms"] = array();
 
 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
 // temp user array
 $idioms= array();
 $idioms["id"] = $row["id"];
 $idioms["entry"] = $row["entry"];
 $idioms["meaning"] = $row["meaning"];
 
 // push single idiom array into final response array
 array_push($response["idioms"], $idioms);
 }
 // success
 $response["success"] = 1;
 
 // echoing JSON response
 echo json_encode($response);
} else {
 // no products found
 $response["success"] = 0;
 $response["message"] = "No idioms found";
 
 // echo no users JSON
 echo json_encode($response);
}
?>

When the page is called directly from the browser, this is the JSON formatted data you will see.

http://172.16.16.183/idiomjson/search.php?keyword=baik%20budi

{"idioms":[
 {"id":"106",
 "entry":"Baik budi ",
 "meaning":"Bersikap baik dan penyayang (suka menolong). "},
 
 {"id":"3401",
 "entry":"Yang merah saga, yang kurik kundi, yang indah bahasa, yang baik budi. ",
 "meaning":"Rupa yang elok sahaja, tidak disertakan budi bahasa akan tetap menjadi hina di kalangan masyarakat. "}
],"success":1}

STEP 2: CREATE A NEW PROJECT IN ECLIPSE-ADT (Android client-side)

new-project-search-json

The UI consist of an EditText with id txtkeyword, and a Button id btnsearch.

This is the UI XML file

<RelativeLayout >="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 >="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
 android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
 android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
 android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
 tools:context=".Search" >

 <TableLayout
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
 android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
 android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
 android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >

 <TableRow
 android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

 <TextView
 android:id="@+id/textView1"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:text="Search for Idiom"
 android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

 </TableRow>

 <TableRow
 android:id="@+id/tableRow2"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

 <EditText
 android:id="@+id/txtkeyword"
 android:layout_width="0dp"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_weight="1"
 android:ems="10" >

 <requestFocus />
 </EditText>

 </TableRow>

 <TableRow
 android:id="@+id/tableRow3"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

 <Button
 android:id="@+id/btnsearch"
 android:layout_width="0dp"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_weight="1"
 android:text="Search" />

 </TableRow>

 <TableRow
 android:id="@+id/tableRow4"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
 </TableRow>
 </TableLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Search.java

This is only has the UI of the keyword entry. It will be calling another page/screen which will list the idioms that match the search keyword.

package net.kerul.searchjson;//change this to ur package name

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class Search extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
 private EditText txtkeyword;
 private Button btnsearch;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_search);
 
 //link to UI
 txtkeyword=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtkeyword);
 btnsearch=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnsearch);
 btnsearch.setOnClickListener(this);
 }
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
 if(v.getId()==R.id.btnsearch){
 Intent searchIntent = new Intent(this, Search.class);
 //send the keyword to the next screen
 searchIntent.putExtra("key",txtkeyword.getText().toString());
 //call the screen for listing
 startActivity(searchIntent);
 }
 
 }

 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
 // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
 getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search, menu);
 return true;
 }

}

Create the ListView named ListResult activity to handle the result listing.

To create a new activity, right click on project and choose New –> Other…

Use the name ListResult for the new activity.

inside this UI XML file copy paste the following XML code. It must have ListView with the id named list.

activity_list_result.xml

<RelativeLayout >="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 >="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
 android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
 android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
 android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
 tools:context=".ListResult" >

 <!-- Main ListView
 Always give id value as list(@android:id/list)
 -->
 <ListView
 android:id="@android:id/list"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Then add another XML file in the layout folder, by right clicking on the layout folder->New->Android XML File. This is to show the record. It will be reiterated for all records successfully fetched. It must be named list_view.xml; it will be called by activity_list_result.xml to populate the idiom data.

new-xml-file

list_item_xml

list_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout >="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:orientation="vertical" >
 
 <!-- Idioms id will be HIDDEN - used to pass to other activity -->
 <TextView
 android:id="@+id/id"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:visibility="gone" />
 
 <!-- Entry data display -->
 <TextView
 android:id="@+id/entry"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:textSize="17dip"
 android:textStyle="bold" />
 <!-- the Meaning data display -->
 <TextView
 android:id="@+id/meaning"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:textSize="14dip" />
 
</LinearLayout>

and the ListResult.java file to do the fetch record and display processes.

ListResult.java

Richard Schmid on Versatility

Richard Schmid, sketched while he did a demo

In his book Alla Prima: Everything I Know about Painting, Richard Schmid offers the reader a wealth of helpful tips, including the reminder to practice a variety of methods of painting.

Painting by Richard Schmid

He says: "Cultivate as many working methods as you can so that you can respond to the demands of painting different subjects. Dont expect that an effective way of painting a landscape will work as well for a childs portrait. Learn to paint thickly, thinly, loosely, tightly, quickly, slowly, and so on, according to the requirements of your subjects. Strive to expand your repertoire. For no other reason, work in different ways just for the satisfaction of confounding art critics."

Running On Empty 7 Tools To Heal Emotional Exhaustion

“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” ~ Pema Chödrön

“I’m so tired! I just want to close my eyes. I could sleep forever.”

The statement above is a common thread among those who are emotionally spent.

And the number of people who suffer from this is escalating at an alarming rate.

This kind of tired is what happens when emotional trauma gets the upper hand.

Emotional trauma is so disempowering that it causes physical symptoms. And no amount of stimulants will help. In fact, “solutions” like coffee, tea (even green), alcohol or cannabis only deplete the body—specifically the adrenal glands—, creating a vicious cycle of ups and downs. Besides, all those things only mask the problem. In the case of cannabis, which is used to alleviate stress in controlled doses, the sufferer can find escape but not resolution. I’m not against cannabis for the purposes of gaining relief from stress (for some it is a true life-saver); but in excess it can deprive us of our motivation and compromise our self-awareness.

From my own experience and from conversations with others who have at one time or still suffer silently, I have seen how important it is to address this issue.

A few years back, I was having a heart to heart with my partner about emotional exhaustion and gave him a visual: I likened myself to a container that every year was being filled with layers of trauma. This came right after the death of my adoptive mother.

Moving, death and divorce are supposedly the biggest causes of stress. My layers (too many to list them all here) contained all three beginning with the death of my parents at age six and then being adopted to a family in Canada where I suffered emotional, physical and sexual abuse for ten years and at least forty moves in my life. My layers culminated the day my adoptive mother passed away, we received news that an infant we wished to adopt was going to another family, and we had to put our beloved dog down. Talk about having a lot to process!

My only reason for listing these events is as an example for others to relate to. Sometimes we go through things without realizing that they are indeed trauma until someone else speaks of it.

Between all those times were also many, many moments of incredible beauty that I am truly grateful for. If I were to list those we’d run out of paper. I don’t consider my life a disaster in any way.

And yet, around the time of my mother’s death, I felt a shutting down of reserves. I was incapable of any more bullsh*t. It was quite sudden, actually. One day I woke up and realized that one more thing and I would crack. I wanted to sleep. All day. Every day. All thoughts of any future challenges seemed insurmountable.

I literally had no more room inside me. The container was full and overflowing.

Tests with a homeopath revealed what I already knew as a trained holistic nutritionist: My adrenal glands, responsible for fight or flight, were completely depleted. I was at a physical low and had a rapidly dwindling supply of self-confidence.

Normally I am the eternal optimist. But in those days, the smallest suggestion of a problem was enough to reduce me to tears and fill me with an overwhelming desire to run. I had no fight left at all.

For a feisty, resourceful, determined Scorpio, this was shocking. I had always been in control, always smiling, could always be counted on. Now, I wanted to draw the curtains and fade away into nothingness.

I had the good fortune to run away to Kauai for a month long respite with my eldest daughter. I cried every day of my stay in paradise. My youngest joined us for a spell. I considered divorce. I considered how I could stay in Kauai. I thought that when I got home I would need to live on my own for awhile to pull myself together. I was blessed to have the presence of mind to know that changes needed to be made. As always, my Scorpio nature tended toward finding my own solutions. I drew inward.

Part of what I was facing was the natural urge of a menopausal woman to hermit. These are the wisdom years when we crave time alone. I spent time seriously thinking about how my beloved partner and I could separate so I could heal. He agreed to the plan as long as we could maintain our love at a distance. That kind of support was incredibly helpful. I know that he was hurting, but he put me first.

Fifty years of climbing proverbial mountains and I was too tied to make any sense. No matter how I turned things over in my head, the future seemed bleak. I wondered if I would ever feel whole again. To the outside world, I was doing okay. I’m always in forward movement mode. But my inner landscape screamed for the storm to end.

Fortunately, I had enough tools at my disposal to dig my way out. Perhaps they will be helpful to you as well. There is no one recipe for healing from any one situation, but we can learn from each other’s journeys nonetheless.

These tools were not unfamiliar to me; I had used them frequently to survive and grow emotionally. Now I turned to them like old friends, ready to engage in their healing magic.

A miracle happened that offered me a spark of hope. My partner found healing from his debilitating concussion symptoms through alternative medicine. There were serendipitous events that led to this, and they followed a meditation and prayer time at the foot of Bali Hai, a mountain sacred to the Hawaiians. The spirits had promised that if I did my part, the Universe would conspire with me.

I had to do my part.

Here’s what I did to find peace and healing:

The Decision

I believe that a decision is the first step on any journey. I decided that I wanted to be whole and to shed the layers of crap that were holding me down. I envisioned a phoenix. I cast a spell for release from emotional pain.

This may sound very simplistic but, without the decision, when difficult days came, I would have had nothing to go back to for supporting my effort. If you’re thinking you can skip this step, don’t. Decide that you’re worth it. Decide that you are ready. Decide what you want the rest of your life to be.

Detox

I purged. First my belongings. Then toxic relationships and any drama. And always I purged emotions into a journal which I later offered up to the fire.

My body responded with weight loss. My soul responded with room in that container! Lots of room.

The tears were still pouring. It was good.

The Power of Now

I re-read Eckharte Tolle’s The Power of Now. This moment was all that mattered. Everything I had gone through was a story that I no longer needed to recite or identify with. I went on to the other books on my shelf:

The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho
A New Earth, Eckharte Tolle
You Are a Spiritual Being Having a Human Experience, Bob Frissell
The Laws of Spirit, Dan Millman
Everyday Miracles, David Spangler
Courage, Osho
Peace is the Way, Deepak Chopra…and many more.

I fed my mind and my spirit soared.

Exercise/Yoga/Healthy Food

I walked my ass off. Walking meditation is incredibly healing. My daughter eased me into the world of yoga, and my body and psyche responded with healing endorphins.

There is no substitute for treating oneself with care. It’s an outward expression of how we feel on the inside.

This vehicle that houses my spirit is deserving of my respect and attention.

Creativity

This step was especially crucial for me. I need to create every day in order to stay alive. I dove into writing my first novel. Not, as one would assume, a cathartic biography. That had gone into that journal I burned.

No, this was a novel of erotica and mysticism. All that was healed and powerful spilled into a book I could share with the world. Of course, it is about me, but I let out what was beautiful (not perfect).

Please honor every creative urge you have while healing; it will take you leaps and bounds past the biggest hurdles.

Meditation

Meditation is something I would literally be dead without. Sinking into the great abyss is essential to heal mind chatter, to find a transcendental peace.

I found wisdom in silence. All the answers you will ever need are there. Bolstered by the Divine presence in silence, I found courage.

I met myself once more, the child, the young mother, the life partner, the incarnation I was meant to be.

Meditation is a discipline that opens doors to the mysterious and heals on a cellular level.

Gratitude

I practice gratitude every day. No. Every second. Without gratitude I would be lost to my wounds. I would be not only scarred but the wound would continue to bleed.

Gratitude offers perspective. It allows for grace under pressure. No matter how bad it seems, a few moments counting up the blessing side of the ledger is always healing.

“Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

Setting sail on Royal Caribbeans newest smart ship Quantum of the Seas

Me, on board our first ever cruise

Last week my partner and I were invited to board Royal Caribbeans newest ship, Quantum of the Seas, at their pre-inaugural sail from Southampton for two nights. This was an event catered for the media, members of the press, bloggers, VIPs, travel agents and staff members.

Two70 lounge which can be reconfigured as a performance theatre

This was our first cruise so I had no idea of what to expect. The closest I have ever experience anything like this was in Vegas almost twenty years ago. A mini city resort on a giant boat is probably the closest I can describe this ship. Quantum of the Seas is the first of a new breed of smart ships called the Quantum-class, and is currently the second largest cruise ship in the world, just behind Royal Caribbeans own massive Oasis-class ships. Read on for my impressions.

NorthStar and the Sky Bar on Quantum of the Seas

We arrived at Heathrow Airport in the early morning of Friday and were immediately whisked towards Southampton by Royal Caribbean. Once at Southampton Port, we were greeted by numerous Royal Caribbean staff with Microsoft Surface tablets, who promptly checked us in. Only ten minutes elapsed from our arrival at the port, through security and to the inside of the ship.

Suffice to say, we were overwhelmed by the taster cruise. Facilities were so numerous that it was impossible to test or rate them all, but try we did. Like excited kids let loose inside a chocolate factory, we set out to taste as much food from every restaurants as well as cocktails from every bar. It was impossible obviously, but I will do my best to describe all that weve seen in the two nights we were on board.

View of Quantum of the Seas from the NorthStar observation pod

One of the new innovative facility on the Quantum class is the NorthStar, a London Eye-style observation pod connected to a crane arm that lifts visitors 95 meters above sea level, providing panoramic view of the ship below. Other facilities includes the Riptide iFly - a skydiving simulator with its own wind tunnel, Flowrider surf simulator, rock climbing wall, games arcade, a running track, Adventure Ocean kids club and SeaPlex - a basketball court size court with bumper car rides, roller skating facility and flying trapeze.

In addition to those, you have the numerous swimming pools on the open deck as well as indoor ones on H20 Zone, whirlpool hot tubs, sauna and steam rooms. The Solarium, located on the aft of deck 14, is an adult only indoor pool area set in a massive green house like structure, and houses a couple of whirlpool and a bar. It is opened 24/7, as far as I can tell.

The Solarium

Below on decks 3, 4 and 5 you will find a casino, music hall, theater, shops, bars, pubs, numerous complimentary as well as fee-added restaurants. The interior of the ship can range from down right tacky to tastefully classy depending on your point of view. There are also two robotic bartenders at the Bionic bar, which while looks pretty sweet in demonstration, wasnt available for general use yet. Personally, while I found the technology impressive, nothing beats a seasoned and knowledgeable cocktail bartender.

The four main complimentary restaurants are the American Icon Grill, Chic, Grande and Silk. With the exception to the Grande, we tried three of the restaurants. American Icon Grill, as the name implies, serves modern interpretation of classic American dishes. Silk is a pan-Asian fusion restaurant and Chic serves contemporary European gastropub food. A 24/7 restaurant, the Windjammer Marketplace, can be found on deck 14. Other cafes are located on the promenade and opens up till late at night.

The Grande

Perhaps one of the more exciting feature of the Quantum is the Two70° lounge on deck 5. Three decks high, the lounge features a large 270-degree panoramic ocean view at the stern of the ship. The lounge can be reconfigured as a performance venue for shows and disco. This is achieved by using a projector system that projects images to the window shades, and the use of five robot TV screens. We watched v, the Cirque-ish show with acrobatic stunts, which was still a work in progress.

The Royal Theater is a large theatre and will house two musicals on Quantum of the Seas. The first is Mamma Mia, the award winning West End and Broadway musical based on ABBAs greatest hits. We watched the inaugural public show on the first night and found the musical to be a hit. The sea fairing version of the hit musical is the exact same as the Broadway and West End editions with no cuts or compromises made. As Royal Caribbean appears to be a family friendly cruise (unlike say, the more adult Cunard line of cruises), I believe Mamma Mia will be a hit among both young and old audiences. The other resident show is Sonic Odyssey which wont make their debut until later in the month.

Mamma Mia at the Royal Theater

Our room was a balcony stateroom for two on deck 10. The size is bigger than most hotel rooms Ive stayed and comes with a large king size bed, shower room, a large TV which no one in their right mind will use, two USB ports on the desk so you could charge your phones and numerous USA sockets. The room attendant, a nice and friendly chap who has been with the company for five years, cleans the room twice a day, which we found unnecessary - but I was told is an industry standard.

Balcony stateroom

A couple of cabins were available for inspection including the new inner stateroom with virtual balconies (basically large TV showing a video of the outside). What we were most impressed with however was the 1600 sq ft Royal Loft Suite, a stateroom so large it commands the vertical space of two decks. With two whirlpool hot tubs, one bedroom with walk in wardrobe, a separate TV lounge/bedroom and a large open plan living space, the suite is also larger than our house! If there ever is a definitive definition of luxury cruise, this would be it.

The Royal Loft Suite is bigger than most houses

We were impressed by the two day sailing around the English Channel. There were however kinks to be ironed out and some parts of the ship were off limits as they were still building the interiors or fine tuning the electrical. The WiFi (which was complimentary on our trip, but is actually a paid for service) was often patchy and at times, next to useless, so it was difficult for me to e-mail or co-ordinate my time on the ship. This can be part explained by the presence of a large contingent of bandwidth hungry press groups on board.

Big pink bear

We found the mostly international staffs to be amazing and friendly at all times. At times, towards the end of their shifts, many were noticeably tired. It isnt surprising that there is a divisive issue among seasoned travelers over the need to tip staff members, considering the amount of work they do. Many are however happy to be transferred to this new ship as the staff facilities are an improvement over the older ships.

Seaplex

Our time was short but sweet and while I still cringe at the cost of a cruise, I can finally understand why some are drawn towards them. Royal Caribbean cruises tends to range from 5 to 12 nighs, and coupled with shore excursions, the numerous on board facilities and activities, it is not likely that anyone will get bored. Without pretending that I understand cruise culture, we came away very impressed. In fact when we docked at Southmapton port on Sunday morning, we were hit with the biggest issue of all - we did not want to leave!

Shubs shows up on South Park!

A recent episode of South Park, Coon 2 : Hindsight, includes a segment in which Cthulhu and associated Elder Gods are released upon the world when oil company DP accidentally drills into another dimension. I judge this as blogworthy for two reasons:

1. Cthulhus in it.

2. There appears to be some cross-dimensional connection between the creators and me. Or at least thats the conclusion Im inclined to draw having noticed the similarity between the head of this eldritch horror from the show and my Shub-Niggurath artwork.

Evidence that whispering things from beyond space are guiding the hands of artists across the globe, and that Trey Parker, Matt Stone and I have all had our consciousnesses penetrated by the same chattering terror? It looks that way.
