I know its highly desirable to want to keep your computer cool, but this is ridiculous . Why would anyone want to make a computer case out of cooling fans is beyond me. On the other hand people have also made computer case’s out of lego’s, bricks etc so… How loud do you think this particular case would be and how much power would it consume just to run the fans?

I was copying stuff from one of my drives to another partition to free space on the drive when my drive suddenly disappeared from the system (none of the data on the drive was showing up when I did an ls on it). So I rebooted the computer and the drive came back. A few hours later I ran a ‘df -h’ on the drive to see how much free space I had available on my drives and got the following output:
If you look carefully you will notice that I am using -64Z out of 74GB but have 71GB free and am using 101% of the drive. The funny part was that I could still access the data on the drive. So I copied the data off the drive. The next thing I did was to create a RMA to return the drive to IBM for replacement.

Upgraded the Serendipity Suite to the latest version. I don’t think there were any problems during installation nor were there any problems in converting the old data to the new format.
However I may be wrong so let me know if you encounter any bugs.

After a week of being very busy I finally the time off today and yesterday to just relax. Yesterday I saw Constantine at the Jersey Gardens mall. It was nice. A lot better than some of the other movies that have been releasing recently. Might watch Ring 2 when that comes out. I don’t think Vinit or Surabhi would like to go watch that one so I will have to find someone else to go with me. Maybe Vivek or Jessica would be interested…
Today all I did the entire day was sleep and read. Its nice not to have to do anything the entire day. MAY update my site a little bit, depending on my mood. But don’t hold your breath.
Well this is all for now.

Read in the ACM Technews that Siemens has developed a new application that lets a user post a message to a specific location and when anyone with a cell phone who passes through that area. It seems like an interesting concept but has a lot of potential for abuse.&
Think about it, the messages posted are not censored at all. Anyone can post anything and whoever passes through that area will get that message. So all the new age spammer has to do is send such a message to Times Square or New York Penn station or Madison Square garden and anyone in that area will get the message as an SMS. So in the near future a 15 year old with a cell phone walking down broad street in NY could get a message asking him to step into a shop to get really cheap porno’s or cheap drugs etc.
And the pranksters will have a field day with this one. They can post a porn image to a crowded area and watch the reactions on everyone’s face. There are hundreds of such possibilites and if I can think of them res assured others can too…
Original Summary:
Siemens has developed a new “digital graffiti” application that would allow mobile phone users to send a message to a specific geographic location, where it would appear on the screens of other mobile phone users who are passing through the area.
The concept is similar to placing a Post-It note in a certain spot. The application also resembles SMS (Short Message Service), although the message would be directed to a defined radius and the mobile phone users who are in the area, rather than a specific person. The ability to post notes to a zone makes the digital graffiti technology more than just a mobile phone location-based service. “Imagine a foreman walking through a plant and making notes of things to check for the maintenance crew on the production floor, or a friend who really knows his way around an area leaving tips of places to go for less familiar buddies,” says a Siemens spokesperson. Users can post text messages and pictures, and have the information expire at a certain date. Researchers at the University of Linz in Austria and the Ars Electronica Center in Linz assisted on the application, which could have a commercial rollout by 2007.

Done moving the site to the new server. The site seems to be running ok and I think I managed to move all the files/data without any loss (Unlike previous time when I lot about a week of stats).
I think everything is working, but if you find something that isn’t let me know.
