Index Data is meeting up in Berlin for talks and Christmas lunch. Looking forward to meet the rest of the company.

Looking for a new job

Due to downsizing in my current company, I have chosen to stop there by end of July.

So... looking for a interesting job/consultancy work around the world with software development:

Java, C++, Objective C, Ruby on Rails

UNIX, Linux, OS X, iPhone OS

MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite

Last day of a five day vacation and haven't done half of the plans.. but hey isn't that what vacation is about.

At least I got around upgrading the Heartbeat running my small High-Availability cluster. The older version crashed and flooded the small machines with messages and the shared IP was running on multiple boxes. The new version seems to be running ok.

Also started on the recovery of my broken RAIDs. It seem that the HPT374 wasn't working well with the newer Linux kernels, 2.6.26+. It has been working for years with the older drivers. So they have been silently corrupting, (well, not totally quiet, md driver was trying to fetch blocks way above the maximum limit).

Testing new Server in new place

First domains are moved to new server. A simple test that it actuallly works.

New place! After living in sublets in 7 month, I gave my self a birthday present by buying my own apartment in Elmegade in "Nørrebronx", I hope, the living situation will be stable for some years.

Still work to be done, but ADSL and servers is in place so ready to move the web site over to the new server.

Rambling on..

Has it come so far... that even I, is creating my own blog.

Indeed, I am geek (or nerd) enough to have been in the space from the beginning: Software developer, Linux user since pre-1.0 Slackware days, and now ... Macbook Pro user with one year anniversary.

But I am not a man of many words. But hey... why not try to improve my skills by putting some words down.
