Following on the shocking revelation as to how much my toys were costing me to run
I spent satuday morning, moving data, re-writing backup scripts, and have managed to SQEEZE all my data onto the disks in the server, which has enabled me to shut down the extreemly power hungry FC storage array.
This has also left me short of space, but a USB2 external disk is on the cards for the general archive stuff !
Next will be replace the UPS. i have a belkin 600VA one lying around, that shoudl be enough now i have reduce the power to under 200 Watts
Just upraded to Dexter (wordpress 2.3 ),
Test,Test,Test,Test,Test,Test,Test !!!
[update]

got my self one of those domestic power meters and been around the house,
HOLY FUCK !!!!
Need to change my storage strategy, the Compaq RA4100 fibre channel chassis with 12 disk may well be over kill, but it is also DAMN expensive to run,
and I have NO idea why the UPS is pulling 100Watts with NO load !!!
??As i am only ising the storage for archive type stuff not “live” apps, I am planning to replce it with an external USB2 disk,
the Cost Recovery Period will be less than 4 months !
Not sure what to do about the server though, it is runnign AD, Exchange, VMware server with VOIP PBX and dansguardian ….

My son is in scouts and does a fair few camps each year. The 11th Gloucester, Hucclecote have for the past 30 odd years done a father and son camp every Septemtber where the dads get to live like scouts for a weekend
Having spent saturday morning up to my my groin in mud, and sunday morning, upto my knees in cold water, i now ache in place i did not know existed !
For years, I have complained about Severn Trent Waters billing practices of sending out bill at RANDOM intervals, on the 14th of the month Demanding payment in 10 days, like WHO has 100 quid to spare in the last few week of a month!!!!
No they have taken the bisuit,
i have just recieved my FIRST bill since January, and seeing as they managed to wriggle out of any compensation for the lack of running water for 10+ days this summer are aksing for 340 quid, are they having a laugh
Perhaps its time to look and monthly direct debit, so i check out their web site, which has SOD all information other than contact then, which I did. So after 15 minutes on a IVR on hold, i get some fuckwit who insisted on asking me what payment plan I wanted, I dont know, that it what i rang up for !!!,
AAARRRRGGHHHH,
Fairly normal morning, buses actually running to timetable, unlike tuesday !
So I got on the No10 bus, at the bus-stop right outside Hucclecote Library (opposite the Royal Oak public house if you dont do librarys) only to find a tosser playing crap rap very loudly on his mobile phone,
So here is a picture of Mr Tosser for everyone to see !!!!
I have just spent several hours trying to setup wordpress MU 1.2.4 with LDAP in to a CORP Active Directory,
MU does what wordpress does best, it just worked
LDAP auth was fantasic,
but everynow and then i was experiancing a 30 secs slow page load
Well before some of you start shouting, what i now know are obvious things,
I eventually noticed, using a cool tool called ieHeaders, that the page load delay was exactly 30 seconds every time, so came to the conclusion this was a timeout rather than a random thing. After some head scratching I remembered that some of the admin pages on wordpress get data from wordpress.org on NEW features etc
Eureeka, give the PHP http client (snoopy) a proxy server to use and everyones a winner ! 🙂
[update]
This was done with?? wordpress MU 1.2.4 , and LDAP plugin 1.2.0 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196841??against a WINDOWS AD / LDAP
The search and user DN need to be in this format OU=aaaa,OU=bbbb,DC=zzzz,DC=yyyy,DC=xxx
where the number number of OU fields and DC fiesl will vary depending on yoiu LDAP config
Picture this (based on a TRUE story)
A blonde lady flushes a toilet to find it is blocked, and has filled up to the top of the bowl
Blonde thought process “the flush has something to to with the water going away, i will flush it again, problem sorted”
Real life, extra flush adds 10 liters of water to an already full toilet bowl,
Blonde now has WET feet !!!!
Next time you organise a meeting in central london make sure the metronet underground tossers are not on strike
