I'm still working on the SOA/REST/XML-RPC interop "stuff" in Ruby and
building data warehouses for feeds from various and sundry entities
around Northern Nevada. We're aggregating all kinds of strange data in
preparation for a major corporate reorg (ugh!) at which point, I'm
told, we'll need all this crap. Truth be told, not even Corporate
knows what the next 18 months will bring.
On the Linux front, I've finally got our new servers up and running
(it took ages to get them in). They're Dell 2950s with Woodcrest
Xeons, 8GB of RAM, 4 x 73GB SAS in ext3 (no XFS in RHEL!) RAID10
running 64-bit RHEL4. They are in a multi-master MySQL 5 (MySQL AB
binaries) setup across our two NOCs (there's a dedicated, redundant
10G fiber link between the two NOCs). So far, I'm getting ~1700
Transactions per second out of the setup on tables of between 8 and
16G in size (several million rows), which I think is pretty darn good
(for a Dell). All in all the experience has been pleasurable with
these Dells; it only took me about a day to get them installed from
bare metal and replicating. On the long game, RHEL gets a bit far
behind on patch level compared to other distros, but when it's only
running MySQL and I can get reliable updates directly from MySQL AB...
it's not so bad.
Anywho... PING back!

Hey everybody,
Long time no speak. Where the heck is everyone? The list has been pretty
quiet lately. It's crunch time at the Uni. As usual, my projects aren't
done yet... so I have two weeks of hell upcoming. Fortunately, it should
be nearing completion by the time the next meeting rolls around. That
means I'll be ready to absorb knowledge and alcohol... *hehe*.
I've no new news on the Linux front. I haven't done anything cool for the
past few months. I guess I'm just a user now.
So... PING.

If UNIX doesn't have the solution you have the wrong problem.
UNIX is simple, but it takes a genius to understand it's simplicity.
