System Clock is twelve minutes ahead.

[Timberwoof]

The system clock is twelve minutes ahead. It's 11:01 when I click Submit.

It's worse than I thought. It's fifteen minutes ahead! Time to set the system's clock and turn on NTP and subscribe it to some nearby clock. I'm sure the colo facility where the server lives can give you the address of an NTP server to synch with.

time of my post 1:56am

It's been like that ever since I've been here... so 9-10'ish months.

All sean needs to do is send in a quick ticket asking the time on the server to be changed back 15 min. and it'll be done promptly.

Timber,

ya bored man?

Not really. Today I couldn't figure out why Twp2, my Linux server, croaks when it tries to access its gigabit ethernet card. (Whenever it tries to start networking on that card, it just hangs. Not even an error log of the event.) So I rode down to Santa Clara to see if PC Surplus had any gigabit cards for cheap. 101 was crowded, so I took 92 over to 280, then 85 back onto 101, and then off San Thomas. But PC Surplus was now a tile and carpet store. (It had apparently also been an inline skating stuff store before the tile people moved in.) So I rode over to Weird Stuff where I saw some Mac G3s for sale for $75 apiece. Not bad, but I've already got five of them.

It was a hot day on I-280, hotter than in San Jose, which is unusual. But I was wearing my cool new perforated leather riding suit (a Frank Thomas I got at a ridiculous price on closeout at Cycle gear). But on the way home I g ot into the infamous San Francisco fog and I got really cold! I stopped, stripped off the top half of my suit, put on a weater, got the suit back on, and the helmet, and—toasty warm again—rode the rest of the way home in the fog.

I got home, stripped off my leathers, had some dinner, and installed PHP 5.2.2 and MySQL 5.0.41 on one of my G3 servers. This is in preparation for making a mod to Drupal that will hopefully make it work in a cluster—and that's what the other G3s are for. Tomorrow I'm going to upgrade their copies of PHP and MySQL as well. It's important for the MySQL versions on the OS X boxes match what's on Twp2. And since the G3s all have gigabit ethernet cards, it would be nice for Twp2 to also have a working gigabit card.

I'm gong to set up Lepton, another Linux box, as a Squid proxy server to act as a front end to the G3s, and Twp2 as the database backend. So there will also be an NTP server on Lepton. All the servers in the cluster will get their time from Lepton, and Lepton will get its time from pool.ntp.org: NTP Servers in United States, us.pool.ntp.org

And that made me realize that the misset time on this BBS has been subliminally annoying since the big server move some months back.

Wow.

I can just feel my IQ points leaking out of my head trying to read that.

Can't we just talk about why orange is the new sport gold?

baring all that extraneously backstory.

you've now raised a few questions. First, $75 for mac G3's? how fast? specs? I want!

And further, using PHP5 and SQL5, have you done any migration from PHP4? if so, any trick to making this thing work better? I'm migrating my system i've written and so far the conversion has been a pain in the ass. Many things that worked fine in PHP4 are now spitting back at me.

What I think happening is you have the Dilophosaurus code in there, and you need to remove it.

This is the result of a new hack for VB. It's called the time warp.

You can re-live the last 15 minutes of your life infinitely or until the next 15 minutes occurs, which sort of negates that word 'infinitely' but then, it was written for MS platforms so that's not really a bug - it's a feature.

Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now, now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then!
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
