Ok... so a departure from my normal belongings - but a bit of idle (well maybe not) fun and games... Read, and enjoy the underbelly of society! The DARWIN Awards! It's with great pleasure that I announce...it's that time again. The Darwin Awards are out! These Annual Honors are given to the persons who did the human gene pool the biggest service by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way. You may recall that last year's ...
...it's a BLARGH post. All I have to say is "SCREW YOU, DEBIAN 6.0.3!!" I spent this morning setting up/configuring the cluster controller [or the "head node" as my documentation calls it].

I am pretty sure I ...
Update time. And a small update at that. Yesterday was spent upgrading the nodes and the controller, I've doubled the RAM so it now stands at 1GB RAM per node, and 4GB RAM on the controller. Everything else is standard. As the test, I'm thinking of possibly installing Quake and seeing how it runs. Lag, FPS [frames per second... not first person shooter.], graphics quality, etc. First it'd be installed on ...
