Sun Microsystems engineers have begun designing Niagara 3, a second sequel to the company's ambitious lower-end processor. John Fowler, executive vice president of Sun's server division, confirmed the development in an interview Tuesday and suggested it will continue Sun's push to squeeze more processing cores onto the chip. This new member of the Sparc family will be built using a manufacturing process with 45-nanometer circuitry elements, he said.
The Fall Microprocessor Forum 2006 is nearly over. Sun presented the new Niagara-2 and SPARC64-VI.
There are many approaches to teach children programming. Bellow is a collection of some related links which may be helpful.
Ruby On Rails is an open-source web framework coded in Ruby. It strives for simplicity and allowing real-world applications to be developed in less code than other frameworks and with a minimum of configuration. But it has a powerful alternative called Nitro. You can find some tutorials about Nitro on Oxyliquit It seems, that Nitro can do much more as RoR.
The µTCP/IP can be used in 8 bit microcontrollers. Such microcontrollers can today be found in toasters and microwave ovens.

This UFS bug is bothering me, because I'm using Nagios to monitor also disk space and Nagios notify me a critical state. So I've to disable disk space checking and wait for kernel jumbo patch for this problem.
As an addendum to my first post about bash scripting and numbers here are some more nice information.
* Check if $VAR is a positive integer:
if echo "$VAR" | egrep --null "^[[:digit:]]+$" > /dev/null ; then
echo Integer: $VAR
else
echo $VAR isn't an integer.
fi
* Check if $VAR is a positive real number:
if echo "$VAR" | egrep --null "^[[:digit:]]+(\.[[:digit:]]+)*$" > /dev/null ; then
echo Real number: $VAR
else
echo $VAR isn't a real number.
fi
Enjoy!

Looks like quite normal green deck-house? But it is a historic building from 1913 and it is the last one of this kind. It was once a tramway station in my home city.
Ethereal® is since 07.06.2006 Wireshark. It's a great network analysis tool.
PostgreSQL: News: Sun announces PostgreSQL for Solaris Integration, Support
This is great. Beside this the company where I'm working is using PostgreSQL on Solaris 10 since some time already.
Sometime ago I had a simple problem with bash scripting. I liked to check if a variable is a number or not. First I'd looked up into Advanced Bash Scripting Guide but didn't found anything. So my first approach was:
[ -z "`echo $VARIABLE | tr -d "[:digit:]"`" ]
But I didn't like it because of tr usage. So after some discussion with other people I came to the following solution:
[ $VARIABLE -eq $VARIABLE ]
It works great and could be used in a bash script like this:
if [ $VARIABLE -eq $VARIABLE 2> /dev/null ]; then
echo $VARIABLE is a number
else
echo $VARIABLE isn't a number
fi
Just downloaded version 2.4 sources. Trying to config it but something is still wrong. Last time I've done compilation and configuartion of Nagios was during version 2.0 and I hadn't so many problems as now. First it seems that the init script have to be rewritten. stop method doesn't work at all.
Just startet testing SEC - simple event corellator which seems to be a powerfull log monitoring perl script.
I've just started looking around for a nice free wiki hosting and after some time spent with searching over the web, I've noticed that the following Wiki hosting offerings looks quite good to evaluate them:
Linux Live is a set of shell scripts which allows you to create own LiveCD from every Linux distribution. Just install your favourite distro, remove all unnecessary files (for example man pages and all other files which are not important for you) and then download and run these scripts to build your custom Live Linux.
Okay, Bleezer was nice but kind of unstable. Now using w.bloggar. seems to be useful.
I've just started to test some tools which could be a help for making this blog living. This message is made with Bleezer.
I've already deleted some entries and I'm trying to restart my blog again. Hopefully it will works better for this time.
