so i finally got my openmosix linux cluster up and operational. it consists of one p2 333mhz/128mb ram and a p3 800mhz/512mb ram systems. one runs clarkconnect, my router. the other runs mandrake 9.2 for the time being. it took me awhile to get that p3 800mhz system up because a 15gb maxtor hdd i have has issues. bios will see it on the 1st screen, but then it wont see it afterwards. maxtor’s util cdrom saw it fine and i could install linux on it (cuz i booted off a cdrom). i tried swapping cables, verifying jumper settings, and any else i could think of. nothing worked. so i popped in a wd 10gb hdd i had; worked like a charm. very quiet too.
i’ll get a link up for my openmosixwebview graphs showing off my wonderful cluster. i’m currently testing it by running seti@home across it. i had to run apache on the mandrake system cuz apache died on my router. some fucked up ssl_mutex log error. cant make one or some shit. that was a bug from a previous apache build, but supposedly fixed in the apache version im currently running. oh well.
so im pretty happy about this cluster. once i get another computer case, ill be able to put a p3 450 node online in the cluster as well.

no holiday spirit here. sorry. i just dont have it in me. fucking upcoming surgery ruined everything. no money. job is seeming like it is gunna end very soon. i did however get some sleeping pills from my doc. so i hope to break this fucking cycle of no sleep, waking up at like 3am, and restlessness.
so i got $100 from my mom and a $50 border’s gift certificate from my aunt and uncle. i got a lot on my list of stuff i want, but i really cant spend any money until after surgery. i want to be absolutely positive i have enough money, just in case the insurance company decides to be gay and deny payment or some crap.
i need a raid1 ide card for this server. so i can not have to fuck with figuring out raid in linux. hopefully ill find one that is cheap.

h-blockx: good band to listen to

So I put my old cpu, mobo, and ram from my main comp into my server at work. Course that meant I lost my uptime and aim uptime, but oh well. I got a P3 800mhz cpu, mobo, and 512mb of ram back to make a new computer to do something. What I do not know yet. Prolly start up my openmosix cluster.
anyway, check out the new specs here.
