Our server is now using the new recommended build of bukkit, our tests show that it is very stable so we put it up onto the main server. We remade all the worlds. We have kept creative_old.

The addresses are still the same at clint.is-a-geek.com, mc.clintisageek.com.

The address is still the same at clint.is-a-geek.com but we have also added mc.clintisageek.com cause that’s probably easier to remember.

We started a clan on Super Deformed Gundam Capsule Fighter Online. Click here to join

I’m also starting a clan page on the site here, and soon we’ll have a Ventrillo server set up again.

Stay tuned for details.

It’s here, the North American version of SD Gundam Online. It’s free and better yet, IT’S IN ENGLISH!!! Thank god!! Basically think of it like Pokemon but with Gundams, and a Third Person Shooter, and not really like Pokemon in any real way, but for some reason it reminds me of Pokemon, and I think this is turning into a run on sentence, but I’m not quite sure, any ways SDGO PLAY IT!!

So yeah that’s what I’ll be doing the next little while…

We also have a backup server set up and running in-case we ever have any outages. We’ve already used it once with good success.

I also changed the backup script, hopefully now it should work. ^_^

Also I have started documenting the updates here on my site. More to come in the next few weeks…

There is e2defrag, but I’m using ext4, e4defrag is designed specifically for this purpose as demand for a defrag tool slowly rises, but there isn’t a stable release yet and it doesn’t look like there’s going to be one any time soon. The common advise is to backup to new drives and format and restore all your data. If this was just an OS partition I would be ok with this, but this is a 6tb RAID drive with over 5tb of files on it! To back that up would take weeks at it’s current speed, WEEKS! I needed a defrag tool.

Hidden in the depths of the Ubuntu fourms I came across a python script called pyfragtools. Originally written in may 2006 by jdong It uses rsync, filefrag and a few other tools to automatically defrag a specified partition file by file. A simple technique but an effective one, not as powerful as a full partition aware format tool but useful nonetheless. However over the years this script became less and less useful as the original Author gave up on the project. Thankfully webbertiger has continued the work on the project and there is a well working version residing on the last few pages on the fourm post. After running this tool my RAID5 is back to normal performance. The main thing I like about this script is that it’s fairly safe to use and it supports virtually any filesystem Linux supports!

I must warn you though that this tool is not designed to be run while the drive is being written to, so make sure it’s not being used while you defrag. That in mind, with pyfragtools you eat your py and defrag it too!

It sounds like a weird little experiment to me though, it might be a good idea for testing out a motherboard, but for a permanent solution I don’t think it’s a good idea. Still you cannot deny that it is pretty neat, you can just use the box the motherboard comes in as a case! This isn’t the first time this idea has come across, Hak.5 did a segment on this a few weeks ago, and cardboard box cases have always floated around the internet.

This definitely would not be a good idea with larger boards with hotter surfaces and more computer to hold together, but for your cheap piece of crap ITX board I suppose it fits to have a cheap piece of crap case.

I am a geek and proud of it. So proud I made my own site about it.
