We built most of “Velocibunny” today. The x5492’s didn’t work, so we used 5310’s. This was the fastest RAID build I have ever seen …

ok, looks like it is mostly one way … oh well … [update] Nope … bidirectional … with a bit of latency though. I now have Wordpress talking nicely with twitter, and Wordpress and LinkedIn tied together. Scary. Social networking gone wild. Too bad there are few if any business models that will work for these folks.

testing the reverse link…. twitter to blog … Content free post, just testing shiny new tools (everyone say “oooohhh”)

Also working on some business proposals/models to pursue a number of funding (equity/etc) opportunities.

Working on storage software updates. Making the software simpler/easier to use. Working on the web interface to status/updates.

1.3 PB lustre OSSes/OSTs with a Velocibunny MDS quote … under $800k … wow!

Generating quote after quote after … no rest for the wicked …
