Odd
Yesterday I decided more or less randomly to check up on the server’s bandwith consumption. I found a somewhat massive spike in it around 10:00 AM (which is very odd considering it was on a Sunday). It lasted for about 20-30 minutes, at 10 megabit per second (10% of the uplink capacity). The result was over 3 GB of traffic, but considering I’ve got more than enough it doesn’t make a lot of difference (except that this bigass spike looks supid on the graphs).
Now we’re talking bandwith statistics anyway, I managed to get Cacti working on server 3 (one of my local machines). It basically polls network equipment and uses the data to make nice graphs (it monitors the backplane and each switch port). It’ll also be running on any LAN-party I either organize or visit, so for all those who are going to CampZone 2008 and are in our tent: I know how much pr0n you’re downloading.
The 2nd FoF song I announced in the previous post is still pending, I havn’t really had the time (read: didn’t feel like) finishing it currently.
Also I’m investing more and more time in a little software project of mine. I won’t run into any details of it yet, but it should some day run behind the scenes on this server. It’ll be quite neat actually. Of course it’s written in PHP, and it does quite a few things which most of the people didn’t even know it was at all possible with PHP. Anyway, the SVN repository is growing on an almost-daily basis. Gotta love SVN: once you get it working, it’s quite useful. Branching/tagging, reverting back if you did something wrong, etc etc etc – not to mention that now my precious code is stored on 4 different computers (my desktop, laptop, this server which hosts SVN and the backup server).
Oh well. Soon I’ll be posting my l33t story about Roy. Roy is a triangle who becomes king in the country of the circles. It’s very interesting.
