Yes, I have been busy (sorta). I have been doing lots of work on a few different projects and have neglected the Blog.
My RC Chopper is nearly all back up and running. It is at least all put together, just need to do some tunning and it will be all ready for a test flight
. I am sorry but I have not taken any photos of it yet. I will see what I can do about that in the next few days.
Another project I have been working on is my new Fileserver. It is now complete and is starting to store lots of my data. The server has 5×200gig HDD’s in Raid 5 (total of about 800gig) and 2×40gig drives in Raid 1. The raid 1 array is for the system files and any other little programs that I want to run on the server, and the Raid 5 array is all for storage.
I have also used LVM so I am able to add new HDD’s and extend the size of the LVM with little effort, so the 800gig can grow when I need it to, without the need to move all the data or split it.
That brings me to another project that I have now started. I purchased a Negative Scanner so that I was able to scan in my old photos and also my Wedding photos. I have now started that thanks to the Fileserver being finished. One of the driving forces behind building the fileserver was to make a place that I could store all the photo’s that I scan. The wedding photos will be scanned at the highest res which produces a 109mb TIFF file.
That is all I have for now, so till next time.
-Hurgh-
