- cclub north is awesome
- awesie fixed tungsten, zirconium
- Not sure what was wrong
- munin plugin checking exim stats causing issues
- Lots and lots of cron, munin, and perl tasks, not sure why
- Now disabled
- /var/logs/zirconium gives logs for zirconium, OMGWTFBBQ
- Keep an eye on the process list in the future
- Saturday
- nletwin set up a new machine
- mkasick worked on some crazy tracing thing for work
- Hooked hydrogen back up; kasick will hopefully proceed to work on lenny
- Room running out of address space, physical space, and electricity
- Fixing address space problem is easiest
- Move dom0's to private IP addresses
- Getting something in 172 would solve the problem and make it still accessible from campus if need be
- Fixing physical space problem is doable
- No clue how to fix power problem
- We are probably not going to get any more
- Using about 90 of 125 amps available
- More energy-efficient servers?
- Quite a few dense machines doing a lot, and quite a few machines that are not going anything at the moment
- Method of turning machines on and off (freshman project?)
- Fixing address space problem is easiest
- Web servers should be happier now
- Proxies in front of all the mirror stuff, no longer pounding AFS so much
- Apache mod_disk_cache in front of stuff that "won't change" (i.e. /pub)
- Helped a lot, get better speeds on e.g. ubuntu ISOs
- ubuntu mirror mostly caused this
- Gates cam
- Went down over the weekend
- Lock on that office has changed
- It seems this project has ended
- Still need workbench machine and carbon for now
- Want to keep this data around
- The videos are not too big
- JPEGs are taking a lot of disk space
- 70kb images, every 2s or so for 3 years = 1TB
- nntp in the top 100 usenet servers, ranked by posts passing through
- JFC contacted us
- Wants to arrange a meeting to "get to know you guys and what you do"
- (Why don't they give us the same person each year?)
- Asked for a half hour time slot with dkozel and awesie
- Finances not entirely in order
- Orders
- One order has arrived, including the "illegal cable"
- Placing an order for more power, RCA cables
- Finances not entirely in order
- Companies/people that said they would reimburse us have not
- Laundry list of who we need to poke about this
- Should impeach the treasurer

- Getting a TS1000 from cclub north
- Timex Sinclair 1000
- So awesome it does not have audio or color
- Or does it have color...
- Uses cassette audio, ala CD audio for games
- Searching for 16k RAM module
- After its time and should not have ever existed; postdates the C64 and is strictly worse
- Keyboard completely flat, no tactile feedback
- Has the "blackberry problem" with thumb typing
- Have a Lisa keyboard
- Amazingly only $10
- Well, it's only the guts to one, but it has the all-important ROM module
- Should be able to dump the ROM and reverse engineer the protocol
There exists a Lisa -> PS/2 hardware converter, shouldn't be too bad to go the other way
- de0u talking on the day before Thanksgiving break is probably a bad idea, delay further
- Future talks
- awesie interested in disk layout of AFS cache
- Talk for next week?
- Take apart a computer, talk about its guts, e.g. disk interfaces, etc
Other ideas: ipv6, file systems, video standards, "what the hell are all these retro things", hacking DS, Wii, WinMo
- aminet now knows that we are mirroring them
- FTP into contrib is now unsupported
- PPP
- Competition this weekend didn't go so well
- Want to try to set up a competition here at CMU
