use whites instead?  i guess that works too :p

been levelling at majorus for quite constant and easy-made exp.  the cards just keep coming too – mino x3, majorus, khalitz amongst many others.  does good things for the bank account

Well, expanding on my last post – this week i will be moving from internode to amnet, upgrading my line speed from 512/512 to 8192/1024, and at the same time doubling my download quota.  in order for this to take place, we cannot make use of the “churn” deal and get instantly swapped, as i will be moving from telstra hardware to amnet’s own dslam.  this means a 7~10 day turnaround operation, which will involve a temporary dialup connection to keep sanity during this time.

i guess its for the best – even if i didn’t plan on the isp swap, i would have exceeded my download quota today and be shaped to 64/64kbit for the next week.

its a pity our internet down here sucks so bad ^^;

its that time of year again!  kind of a last minute and short notice, but because im not churning this time around, i will be left without stable internets for up to 10 days.  say goodbye to psrv for a bit ><  might try and get a temp host up or something…zzz

first psrv dies about 5 times in a day…

then my ipod gives up

so i guess i am to blame in both cases…

i decided to make psrv as quiet as possible – removing the 120mm noisy fan, and putting the case sides and lid on.  then p00ya decided to build a kernel, and the cpu zoomed to 100%… hitting 70c and desyncing itself?!  well i guess the processor in there has always been quite heat sensitive.  that’s why i have it underclocked as it is.  needless to say, its running with the side off at a stable 55c now.  i think the hsf needs a good clean sometime in the near future (read next time there’s a similar problem).

as for my ipod… it kind of “fell” off the desk, hitting the ground with its back shiny side perfectly parallel to the hard concrete surface.  5cm further and it would’ve landed on carpet, but noooo.  anyway, you’d think hitting the ground in such a manner would result in the least damage – the impact is evenly distributed over the whole body.  i’m not sure if that just doesn’t work in theory (or maybe because of the way the hard drive is padded much more on the OUTER edges rather than the flat front and back *gg apple*) or if the hard drive was already beginning to fail (it was making quite a bad grinding sound even beforehand), but its dead now .  hopefully md’s 10gb will work as a replacement.. but if not i guess my palm will be acting as a 1gb mp3 player until further notice…

in other news, honey and clover season 2 is well on its way, and is proving to be just as good as the first.  if you havent seen it, you should (after watching the first season ).  i haven’t been following much anime lately, but this is one series which is a *must* watch

approximately 1.6terabytes in servers.

including desktop/laptops i’ve surpassed the 2terabyte mark

psrv2 is now almost fully functional, requiring only a small kernel recompile and some more services. i have a few future plans for integrating the two psrvs together more closely, but that will take place over a longer period of time.

psrv is almost operative at gigabit speeds, just requiring a quick swap of primary eth interface. gigabit sure is nice – everyone better upgrade their network interfaces to make the most of burst transfers at future lans

2 lans marked my arrival back in perth quite well, and while we didn’t get *that* much gaming done at either, NDS were definitely the most fun part! mario kart owwns.

so were 24″ monitors of various brands with xbox360s connected. finally experienced uno for myself! would be nice to have a 360, but the $1000ish price tag is just a bit…

wtf md came to lan but left after 3 hours FAILED
