Drupal 4.6.x and some other stuffs...

Just updated this site to Drupal 4.6.x (it's about time, right?) and the upgrade seems to have gone smoothly, but if anyone sees any bizarre quirks, please let me know in a comment!

The quirk with logging in resulting in a blank page appears to have gone away. Other than that, I don't see any cosmetic changes or major changes on the admin side...

On other notes...

I got the p690 going at work a while ago. It is one hell of a beast of a box; right now it is partitioned entirely for Linux; all 31 usable CPUs and 256GB of memory.

It's hard to fathom a machine with 256GB of memory. I mean, this is so much memory that EVERYTHING you ever access on the machine's disk ends up in cache and STAYS in cache pretty much permanently! This causes the machine to always feel incredibly snappy once you've been using it for a bit.

I also managed to compile an entire Linux kernel in a bit less than two minutes. Normally compiling a Linux kernel takes about 20 minutes! "make -j 31" scrolls like no tomorrow, and the CPU time reported is around 23 minutes (since it adds up the time used on all of the CPUs)

It's a pretty fun machine to mess around with. }:)

Oh yeah, I was also at MetroZoo last weekend and took some photos. Well, I took a lot more, but these are the ones I'm showing off. The otters were a real blast to watch; they're totally adorable!

Oh yeah, this, and also this! Servals can jump pretty high.

Good Specs for Vista....

256GB of ram....Great Now it will be capable of running Vista (whenever it comes out) Dunno if youll meet the video requirements though.... You know in order to get all those 'features' and nice fade-ins....Gonna need some quad SLI to at least get internet explorer 7 working with its 'innovative' "Tabbed-Browsing" and all....
