new member with some MAD stats

Welcome Robert Felber, with an average credit of 1,075.32, and just joined, 18 Feb 2008!

I rarely have to use my heater to warm my apartment.  The computers in here, along with the good fellows bellow me keep me warm.  During the summer however, and with an average credit like that just starting out, you may want to check this out: a homemade air conditioner for under $25.

You could stick all your boxes in a closet and use this bad ass, cool idea.

Hello there! :-) [Reply]

Oh well. The stats-explosion is due to some nice main-server and some well-fitnessed backup server. Unfortunately both run xen and thus linux (for better flexibility of choice) as host.

Btw, AC -- the racks are located in the (dusty) basement; without AC (but fans and filters) so far :-/

However, thanks for the welcome and happy crunching!

ah, finally replaced my dusty desktop [Reply]

My old server, now parts, is replaced with my old desktop - and respectfully renamed hamper, as it sits in my closet with dirty clothes.

I don't know which is worse, dust or odor.

However, this is my new workstation:

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:

Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted
