We're having another boy! He's due May 9th. We had a nice 30-minute ultrasound visit with him yesterday.

I've been very busy at work for the last month plus bringing up a cluster of two large Opteron-based servers running VI3 Enterprise. It's my first experience with the high-availability features of the VMware ESX platform. It's very nice! I've implemented a clustered iSCSI target implementation using NetApp FAS3020's to serve as the shared storage. Now that everything's up and integrated, it's working quite well. Pretty soon I'll be ready to start moving real workload to the cluster. I would work on VMware solutions full-time if I could; that's how good that software is.

I made the playoffs in the BDFL for the first time this year, but I didn't get past the first round. Now that I've had a taste of the postseason, I want more!

Thinking about doing something different with the blog in the new year. We'll see!

I've received two "high CPU" notices from my host about the CPU usage of my search and comments CGI scripts. Before the second, I tried to obfuscate the name of the comments CGI a little, and it didn't help. Since I'm hosting my blog and MHS on the same server, something's gotta give. I doubt the spammers are hitting that site. So for the time being I've disabled comments and search on this blog until a figure a way around this. I'm not sure whether checking out MT's dynamic publishing is worth the work versus considering a move to WordPress. Email me if you have comments.
