143GB low level

Starting 143GB disk format from controller level , even when it’s 15k RPM is not a good idea, especially at night.

Civony

Recently while looking at one of ads on my site I’ve noticed that there is a new online game Civony. I’ve signed up a few days ago and I’m still expanding my lands. What is a good sign that game can be entertaining. Good thing about it is that it’s real time so you don’t [...]

LateX – not MS Word is for writing

It’s a great feeling when people use right tools for the job, especially that it is you who recommended and patiently convinced that they should not eat crap like all the flies do ( just because there is more of them, following the crowd ). So, why am I writing that ?

Munin Plugin for Cherokee monitoring update

I’ve managed to find some time to get my Cherokee server updated to 0.98.1. BTW, it took a while to have new version appear in the Gentoo portage. Thanks to Alvaro, this update contains improved system_info module, which is now dirt easy to use in Ruby and some other scripting. Using that opportunity I have [...]

So far I can confirm that it’s compatible with Munin 1.3.4 and Cherokee 0.11.3 on Gentoo. It gets data from the server_info module [...]

Cherokee Webserver

I have started evaluating the Cherokee Web Server. Have it installed on Gentoo. Using latest version from Ayron. So far, I have found that it gives a nice secure web interface ( via the cherokee-admin ), has a bug with Security setting when using IPv6 addresses ( I’ve sent feedback on that ).

Americas Army 3 is coming

Reading some news on a Linux version of Americas Army 2.5 lead me to the AA website. It looks like they are prepping some completely new engine for 2009 release of AA 3, more at Americas Army 3 News site. It’s the favorite game for me, can’t wait to test!

Facebook in RB Sov house

Today I’ve gone to our collocation to replace ancient DAT72 drive with not so ancient SDLT. Haven’t been there for a couple of months. And as always I was curious about what others have in new racks. Today I have spotted some F5 equipment with asset tags by facebook just in the middle of my [...]
