Oops. There went another year.
Last week I played a lot of ultimate frisbee and some paint ball. I picked up an ‘oldworld’ Mac, although I haven’t had time to do anything with it yet. Apparently I need OS8 installed to even boot Linux, so it’s looking like it’ll be pretty useless after all. I setup lrrd today and then crafted a little uptime tracker in Perl for all my boxes. The transport is via SMTP, so it’s lightweight. It turns out my laptop has a dead DIMM socket, so I’m really thinking about selling it and buying a new one. It’s reasonably fast with only 128MB of RAM. With my uptime counter complete, I can finally turn all my boxes off and reallocate my UPSes. The largest should be feeding my file server and backup server, but it’s on the wrong side of the room… it’s heavy.
