Nice article

Just found a kind of nice article on how to have an Apache server on low-end hardware survive a storm of requests..

Gallery

I set up Gallery again yesterday. That is truly a remarkably simple piece of software! I have not had it installed for a year or something, but it still recognized all my old albums. Dead simple to setup too, when I use the FreeBSD ports system :-)

Kristian just stopped by my cubcicle to talk about the strange behaviour of our department server. It's main use is as a CVS server (via SSH). We have lots of defunct CVS processes. Weird and no hint in the logs as to what is going on.
Seems they are all children of an SSHd process ... most of them are owned by Kristian. Most of the rest are owned by someone using CVS from a Linux box. Weird.

So what?

Well .. I guess I will use this blog to whine about all the tacky technology that I encounter. Like a vent, kind of.
