Why ask how you're doing...

As I'm walking in the door to work, someone asks be how I'm doing and before I can respond with how I REALLY feel, he's gone.

I mean, I don't mind some "niceties" but just say "Hi" if you don't care what my response is.

Linux HA

Category: Projects
Posted by Sir Geek on 06/04/2003 12:32AM
I've been working on the Linux HA (http://www.linux-ha.org/) project for several years now.

I originally looked at it when I did work for a now really crappy site that had been called www.tvnet.com . It is a "clustering" application (Non-Geek: Allows 2 computers to work together so that if the primary stops, the secondary takes over the resources like webserver, etc. without a major delay).

It was for Linux only at the time. I began the efforts to port (Non-Geek: Make it work) on FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org/) which is my favororite Free Operating System. So over the last few years I have done a lot of work on the project and I am now the "Non-Linux Release Engineer" for Linux HA. It now builds/runs on FreeBSD and Builds (but doesn't run :( ) on Solaris (x86 version AND Sparc).

Why do I do this, For Free ?

Because I'm a programmer. I like to program and I enjoy it (even though it IS what I do for work).

Howdy. For those who don't know me. I'm Sir Geek. I run the servers that house a spitload of sites (most related to Mr. Sucko - mrsucko.org ).

I also have been running a Web Consulting Mailing list for around 3 years now (It has been around much onger if you count when it originally was created back in 1995).

At the request of my wife Callie (her site is http://www.mrsucko.org/~callie/myphpblog/callie.php ) the only topic that will NOT be discussed here is my "real" 9 to 5 job.
