Top500 November ’17
So the November edition of the Top500 supercomputer list is now out, and I thought I would revisit my post from June and see where things stack up compared to that issue. From the looks of things most of the movement was introduced by the additions of new systems bumping other systems, ie Titan’s drop […]
Technical Difficulties II
Finally have a mostly functioning laptop again after getting the new hard drive in and getting everything transferred over from the temporary one. I still need to see if it will function on battery or not, it might be time to get it replaced again. I also installed a new NIC in my FreeNAS box […]
Wait..what?
So the weather around here looks to remain rather dull for awhile.. I’ve been having issues with my laptop (Dell Latitude D630) since vacation. Originally I thought it was just the SSD failing, so I ordered a new drive from NewEgg along with parts for other projects. But earlier this week it started refusing to […]
Technical Difficulties
This is a long one.. Windows 10 Awhile back, since I was able to get my hands on a copy of Windows 10 cheap I thought I’d load it in to a VM on VirtualBox to play with, without disturbing my main environment (7). I got everything configured and installed, with some basic applications but […]

Round 3
Sorry this is a short post. Parts of the state have seen severe weather the last two days including a short lived EF-0 tornado in Winneshiek County on Monday evening. I have only looked over a small amount of data but it looks like there is potentially yet another round to come through the state […]
Hello November
So as usual I’m terrible at keeping things updated. I downsized two servers to save a few bucks but also tried to tweak them to work better, so hopefully the pages here load faster now. I’ve slowly been working on getting my weather-related uploads to the site switched from FTP to something more secure, or […]
