Today I took my server down to swap out a video card. This always kills my uptime. Hmm…I’ve always wondered how my server compares to others on uptime. Want to know? Well check out this Netcraft survey on the LinkLINE netblock… best uptime.

Cool.
I compiled Sendmail with Milter to work with AMaViS which interfaces Sendmail with Network Associates Virus Scan. The result is all incoming and outgoing emails, attachments (including zip files) are scanned vor viruses before being relayed. This will certainly save me a lot of time with all the people complaining about viruses. The only problem is there is a slight delay when sending email because after transmission sendmail has to scan it before relaying. This will be fixed in the future by setting up two sendmail servers. One to accept mail and one to relay (which will scan for viruses). …now, school.

Dual Processors Melting
Meredith and I got together to do some work on the Plumbing company’s network, but they didn’t have the software ready.

So Meredith what do you want to do tonight? Hey! Lets see if we can make dual processors work. We hijacked a couple old Pentium 160MHz CPUs from MK’s junk box and dropped them in the SMP board. Ouch!! those things get hot!. After a quick run to CompUSA Meredith spliced our brand new cooling devices into the power supply and placed one on each CPU. Red Hat Linux can do it…come on…come on… IT WORKS!!!

Ok, so the kernel panic’s occaisonally and its not exactly a supercomputer but it gives decent computing power but i still have the CPU’s underclocked @ 133MHz. Thanks for your help Meredith.

In the Computer Science department many students go over their quota on the lab computers and ignore warnings. Ken (my boss) deletes their files at random which results in the following situation…

Angry Student: “Why you delete my files?”

Ken: “I don’t like you.”
