My SuperMicro 370DLE seems stable with the 2.6.4 kernel. I am pleased.
Finally, a feature I have been waiting for for years. KMail 1.7 has systray notification for new mail! Yay! Hooray!
I thought I’d add my laptop to my KVM rotation, but it only has a couple of USB ports. I picked up a USB to 2 x PS2 adapter for it on Ebay. My 16MB CF card isn’t quite big enough for my Canon PowerShot A60, so I picked up a 256MB CF [...]
I started to experience strange and unpredictable delays in HTTP traffic. At first, I thought it might be DNS or my specific box. After messing around on another box, it appeared to be a network wide issue that needed to be resolved. ping kept complaining about sendto: errors.

It died again. Looks like I lost the board. Sigh.
I finally joined the modern world with a dual monitor setup. Amusingly enough, I have an ATI AGP card and for the second monitor I’m using an Nvidia card. I thought about buying a dual head card, but it’s not really necessary. I find this setup works quite well, and I have [...]

mlnet: page allocation failure. order:5, mode:0xd0
Perhaps I am back in business.
And yet, even with that option disabled, I still get plenty of allocation failures. I have [...]
It seems Mldonkey has always been the unfortunate process to trigger this, so far. It happens with 2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1 so far. It seems likely to be a hardware issue. A partial memtest86 run has revealed nothing so far. Next I am going to try reseating the CPUs and RAM, since [...]
Gosh, I grow bored with this.
Ivan is on the way it seems.
It seems to be that time again. I need to unload a 400W PSU, Athlon 1700 XP+, L7S7A2 mainboard, 4 port PCI USB card, PCI AC97 sound card, NVidia Geforce4 440MX SE AGP card, Toshiba Cable modem, and a Linksys Gigabit Ethernet PCI card. I might sell my 3Ware 7410 and replace it [...]
