Ubuntu Release

We always thought our mirror server is connected with 2 GBit/s (two times
an e1000 card using bonding mode=6), but the
current Ubuntu release proved that somewhere along the way to the
Internet there must still be something that limits us to 1 GBit/s. The
following diagram shows this pretty clearly:

Now we only need to find out where and if it is something that we can fix or
if we need help from our provider.

Maybe we can fix it before the release of Fedora 9 so that we finally can
transmit more than 1 GBit/s.

Spring

Yesterday I took some pictures in our garden:

I am using following script to rename my files:

$ export SEQ=0

$ for i in *jpg

> do chmod 644 $i

> mv $i spring-$( jhead $i | grep Date | awk -F:\  '{ print $2 }' | sed -e 's,:,-,g;s, ,-,')-$( printf %04d $SEQ).jpg

> SEQ=$[$SEQ+1]

> done

and following script to create the thumbnails:

$ mkdir tn

$ for i in *jpg

> do convert $i -resize 200 -bordercolor white -border 1 -bordercolor black -border 1 -background black \( +clone -shadow 80x1+1+1 \) +swap -background white -flatten tn/$i

> done

Cannot Resist

I thought I could resist, just ignore it and do not post it… But I failed. So here it is:

adrian@dcbz:~ $ history|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}'|sort -rn|head
