HAPPY MOUTH — November, 2003
This month, it was Doug’s turn to select our destination, and he chose JO AN, a formal Japanese restaurant in Kentucky. A group of us enjoyed the upscale setting and excellent food at the restaurant. Another successful Happy Mouth!
System Upgrades — Red Hat 9.0
On Saturday, November 15, 2003, I performed a comprehensive backup of the server and upgraded the server’s operating system from Red Hat 8.0 to Red Hat 9.0. This is in preparation for an (eventual) move to Red Hat Fedora since Red Hat has announced end-of-life for Red Hat Linux early in 2004.
There was a little downtime — maybe 90 minutes — during the upgrade, for which I apologize.
Please let me know if you spot any strange behavior on the site!

HIGH END APPETIZER & DESSERT PARTY, 2003
On Saturday, November 15, 2003, Wendy & I opened our house for the second annual HIGH END APPETIZER & DESSERT PARTY. What’s a HIGH-END APPETIZER & DESSERT PARTY, you ask? We asked that each couple bring a high-end Appetizer OR high-end Dessert, and (at least)…
Another System Upgrade & Backup
Today, I removed this site’s ailing motherboard (the PS2 ports, the mouse ports, and the USB ports were all non-functional) to be sent back for replacement.
I replaced it with a Shuttle AK38N motherboard with a 2400 Athlon processor and 512 megs of PC3200 DDR 184 pin DIMM memory. Our BogoMIPS (which you remember is a number indicating how many million times per second your computer can do absolutely nothing) went from 3329.22 under the old configuration to 3997.29 under this new setup.
Everything seems to have installed smoothly. Please let me know if you spot any problems, and enjoy the speedy new system!
I also updated the forum to version 1.30final.
I also performed a comprehensive system backup with a new tool — Acronis TrueImage 6.0. It’s a nice graphical backup/restore utility, but unfortuantely, it’s an offline backup — it cannot be run on a ‘live’ operating system, so the site was down for about 75 minutes during the backup.
HAPPY MOUTH — December, 2003
Ed selected our destination this month, choosing Swami’s MAYURA in Clifton. Several members of the group braved the cold to enjoy the warmth and generosity of Swami, who played host to all of us and tantelized us with excellent Indian food.
