There’s still 5 minutes left in the first period and Calgary just scored their 3rd goal against the Avalanche. Wow!

k, finally had time for some server setup.

RAID-1 is installed on two 160 gig drives, 159 gigs for data, 1 gig for swap also in RAID (faster swap performance).

It’s actually rather easy to setup RAID under Linux…once you get the correct procedure. It’s fast and efficient.

Just setting up other services and so forth…yada yada!

I thought about this topic yesterday (Rememberance Day) while driving to work. Why is Canada needed in Afghanistan? Why do countries with certain idealogues enter others?

It comes down to control. People like to control other people and recently it’s gotten easier. The ease is due to improvements in weapons technology. For instance, way back when swords were in fashion a large army was required to control a population (remember, we’re talking about oppressed populations here). A sword really didn’t

Who rules? We rule.

My main network connection kept dropping often and I’ve been tracing it for a bit. With the help of Greg I believe it’s been narrowed down to a faulty switch.

Guess it’s time for a new Netgear gigabit switch.

So Kyle and Eric were over for yet another movie night and we watched Star Wars Episode III, Formula 51, and Family Guy.
Without a doubt the intro to Sunday’s Family Guy was by far the best we’ve ever seen.

I did a massive overhaul last night to the server setup in prep for unicorn (3Ghz machine).
Web directories were moved around and so forth. Please make note of that and get prepared for more utilities.

ATI 1800 XT…it’s available for ya’ll.

Took a few pictures, lighting was bad and not at all condusive to sports photography. Here’s one that I liked enough to post.

It’s Akshay being defended by Bill. Mike is in the back (red hat) and Camille is in the center playing top cup.

Kyle(nol) just called me to tell me that his monitor just decided to short out and die! When he’s back up and running he’ll post the full story.

That I may need to sleep early tonight to get over this minor malady.

Article…well, that’s if the title is to be believed.

New web server has been purchased and should be here in the next couple of weeks. Following the purchase the server will be setup and moved into colocation in Toronto.
Following colocation I will move all initial web services to the new machine (unicorn).
One by one websites shall be moved until they all reside on unicorn. Dragon shall then also be moved to Toronto after an upgrade visit home for a new set of hard drives and possibly a processor upgrade.
I guess I can sleep now…well, let me finish

Am I the only person who can drink a full can of coke and then go to bed without being affected by the caffine?

Last night I spent a significant amount of time working out the physics of a new throw that I’m working on. The uses I’ve found for it are very limited right now but something in my mind tells me that there’s a use for it as a very common throw.
There’s a number of ways the disc can be made to fly in the pattern that I envision but like a ball once you apply the initial force upon it it’s it will not change the way it flies.
For that reason the initial vectors that are added need to be particularly

Kyle, Karin, Eric, and myself just finished up movie night here. The movies we watched (back to back) were: Unleashed, Pitch Black, and The Chronicles of Riddick.
Pretty neat, init?
Just gearing up for December…for crazy times!

Yeah, it’s past 4 am and guess what I’m doing? Coding. I had a really good idea related to Javascript and I was brainstorming and I’m ready to implement. I had most of the project figured out already as I was planning on doing it in C/C++ with a Java front end but the application isn’t real time so…might as well go forth.
I suspect that I will end up using C/C++ for the HTML/JS generation in the end as I tend to be fairly geeky like that.

Of course, that’s not the interesting part. The

So I thought I’d give McDonalds another try for lunch and it seems like it’s a bad idea. It’s making me lethargic and nauseas.
I guess I had a hypothesis that it would and testing has proved that hypothesis. Winner!!!

Watching late night heart sugery just prior to going to bed. I am gonna be a surgeon tonight!!! Happy dreamin’ all.

I got tired of not being able to link directly to an article of mine and since I’m working on yet another overhaul of the site…I just commented out some code.

You can link directly to a forum post via the title of the article.

Easy peasy.
